Does drinking coke affect hormones effectancy?

[DawnOday]

I stopped soda, Gatorade, and replaced with unsweetened ice tea. It helped me lose 60 lbs.

I hadn't drank  coke for quite a long time until recently I guess ill have to stop again

[ScarletRed]

Oh I did and with in the first 30 days I drop 20 pounds and after the withdraws I was happier. I will say caffeine is a very addictive legal drug. 

This is a pic of the 6 packs 710 ml bottles I used to go through 2 6 packs a day  I was defiantly a popaholic

Didn't you get a lot of UTIs and or worse yet kidney stones?

I didn´t know, that caffeine can affect estrogen levels!

I guess that applies to coffee too...and that is someting, that I drink a lot! (Being Finnish).

I guess something like 10 cups a day...

Does anyone have details how much caffeine affects estrogen levels?

Believe it or not no none no kidney stones no UTIs not diabetic I drank pop since I was 3 not like that but still. Caffeine also increases pain receptors I you feel more pain the more caffeine you drink.  I stopped because I wanted to loose weight I hit 205 pounds with in 3 months  I dropped down to 147 pounds and now I am backup to 165 pound but trying to get back down.

I use to drink coffee all day but that was pre-transition, now I'll usually have a few cups with a glass of juice when I first get up but that's about it

[Mendi]

Thanks, guess it´s time to cut at least half of the cups of coffee from my diet.

Although the study says, that the effects were minimal to estrogen levels, but then again, on avarage they had about 1 to 2 cups of coffee a day....and I drink 10 times of that!

If you are white it will affect it negatively if you drink over 200mg a day. https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/nih-study-shows-caffeine-consumption-linked-estrogen-changes

A 1.5l bottle of pepsi max is like 150-180, cant remember exactly

Diet coke and Pepsi are about my only source of liquids (yes I know how bad that is [emoji853]). It may be time to try quitting... Again... [emoji23]

I drink a very little gassy cool drink, maybe a can a week. I drink mostly bottled water.

Looking at that study, it says that caffeine affects the ovulation and that´s why the estrogen level went lower with white women.

Not really sure if that is relevant for transwoman who gets the steady amount via other methods, than the body producing it.

The study doesn´t really state, that caffeine would somehow affect estrogen itself, but it affects ovulation and that way to estrogen level.

That is a big ecological problem.  Many of those bottles wind up littering the ground, finding their way to the lakes and oceans etc., causing pollution problems.  Recently, a dead whale was found with 65 pounds of mostly plastic garbage inside it.  There is also a huge area in the Pacific, that's full of floating garbage, including plastics.

On top of that, bottled water is just a waste of money.  Why not just get a refillable bottle and use that?

Hormones do something to it and vice versa.

Testosterone made me a caffeine wuss. I used to drink 4-5 cups of strong coffee before midday no problem. Now I drink the fake stuff since espresso makes my bloody eyes hurt, and the regular gives me a headache.

On the plus side I can drink alcohol like a fish with the T. Well, it would be a plus side if I wasn't trying to look after my liver.

Sweet irony.. I'm a cheap drunk now. 2 glasses of wine in and I'm totally.. 'uninhibited.' >.>

[Amie June]

You serious?? 😐🔫
I could never dream of touching that stuff in those type of quantities.
Maybe once a month max. And a can at that. Times I wouldn't touch it in a year.
I wouldn't be worrying about the effects on hormones, the effects on health in general is enough.

I agree. I "allow" myself one drink and it usually tastes weird
