I noticed my face has cleared up a lot if I don't drink coke or any dark soda. I can have Sprite or & up, but that's it. This tip my friend told me.

This may have played a bit of a role in my face being as clear as it has been on tane... I haven't drank and pop besides a couple diet cokes since starting and my face has been remarkably clear

I never drink soda anymore either. Its because it has caused me cavities in the past and it is very high in sugar which can lead to weight gain, which can lead to diabetes

I think cutting out the sodas had the biggest impact in clearing my skin.

coke is bad. i don't even think it tastes good. just drink water.

i'm sure the accutane had a lot to do with that.

Don't drink soda full stop.. just drinking water or fruit juice will do you the world of good.

Yes, avoid the dark side of the soda industry, or forever will it ruin your complexion...

I always seem to break out more when I drink soda, I think I remember now why I had quit.

I don't drink it, yet have not magically cleared. Probably it's just some of the other garbage I eat.

Used to be a Pepsi Max addict - I'm talking hardcore. But I've given it up, for both skin & health reasons [apparently the additives in Pepsi Max specifically, are awful] I haven't noticed much of a difference but I don't think that giving it up has done me any harm!

I used to drink a couple of litres of coke everyday, then I switched to lemonade, then I got onto the water.
The only things I drink these days is water, coffee and beer. About 3 litres of water, couple of cups of coffee and a couple of beers everyday.
Sometimes when I'm out I will have bacardi with soda and lime and when I'm hungover I have one glass of icy cold coke.
I haven't noticed a difference these days, but I really noticed a difference when I went from coke to lemonade, then to water.

y'know thats a good point. my acne has gotten much worse since coming to uni, and i think one of the main reasons may be that Ive started drinking coke which I never drank before, as a mixer with vodka... yes, I know alcohol also not good, but Im a student!! Anyway, I guess I'll be giving that up and sticking to juice or something instead of coke.

My parents buy 5 liters a week. 0.0
Holy Cow! I drink about 6 cups a day, maybe more. Usually a liter is gone in one day.
Im going to quit. i will. =)
Plus it will be good for my diet Im on, my doctor said soda alone can add up to 20lbs a year. o.o

Unfortunately this is something I can't cut out of my diet to help cure my acne - since i've never drank it anyway . Though i've found drinking lots of water each day definitely helps - stay hydrated people!

I was always wondering if soda like coke and pepsi had something 2 do with it.but who knows if it really does is there really any proof that dark sodas cause acne?
