When I was heavier, I had problems digesting sugars. The MASSIVE amounts of sugar in a cola are WAY harder on my body than the sugars in the breadings of onion rings and fries.
So when I was eating unhealthfully, I would still order diet soda because I just couldn't take the corn syrup in the cola, whereas I could digest the carbos in the other meal items.
That may be why some people order diet colas with high carb meals. |
