Britney Spears goes on sugar binge

[MaryJane]

Pop star BRITNEY SPEARS is hooked on sugar as she fights substance abuse issues in rehab, according to US reports.

The TOXIC singer is reportedly guzzling up to 24 cans of Coca-Cola daily as she fights her demons at Promises Rehab Center in Malibu, California.

A source tells American publication Star, "She has been drinking tons of Coca-Cola - about two cases a day, or 24 Cokes in 24 hours. She often drinks one after the other.

"Usually when a patient eats (a lot of) sugar, it means they are coming down from a drug that kept them really up, like cocaine or speed."

The soft drink binges are reportedly only part of Spears' sugar fix.

The source adds, "She is also constantly eating lollipops and other hard candy and when she eats food, it's always something sweet, like danishes (pastries) or donuts or cake or cookies."

Eww... I think Coca Cola is disgusting. I can understand the candy as comfort, but Coke is just yucky. I used to have the occasional soft drink as a kid, but ever since I have grown up I'm so repulsed by that stuff.

[moomies]

I would've thought she'd be drinking a Red Bull every hour instead of Coke.
Hope her teeth won't rot from all the sugar.

I hope she is playing a lot of tennis with all the sweet stuff or she is going to have a lot of work when she gets out.

Who releases this shit as newsworthy??

[aabbcc]

I like Coca-Cola, but in small amounts. I can't imagine drinking that much in a week, let alone one day.

[Merlot-N-Bali]

If she keeps that up she'll be pushing 300 pounds in no time, not to mention what all that sugar overload is doing to her pancreas.

[Chilly Willy]

What kind of a rehab centzer allows caffein in their program?

[ArmyWifey]

She is gonna balloon again. Watch, in 3 weeks she will be seen 20 pounds heavier.

[Air Quotes]

She needs to watch it, her teeth are about the only nice thing she has left.

Drinking Coke is better than doing drugs so whatever. My ex is going through treatment right now (he's been sober for almost 5 months) and constantly has a can of Mountain Dew in his hand. But hey, a can of soda is better than a can of beer.

[Mira]

Yep. She should make it diet coke with caffeine, but whatev. I can't stand the stuff either. What happened to these places that only let you have certain foods? The way they pamper these people is ridiculous.

Years ago stars would drive down to La Costa in Carlsbad and holy crap, that regime is damn hard but you get back in shape fast, like two weeks. Very strenuous program with good diet and no crapola down your gullet. That's what she needs, a La Costa type boot camp with rehab.

If she is actually drinking that much pop AND eating a lot of sugary stuff on top of it, she can severely damage her health. I hope to god she isn't one of those parents that put pop in the baby bottles. I think that's just horrendous.

[TheMoog]

If this is true, it seems that she isn't learning not to do anything in excess - even in rehab. Still, one thing at a time I suppose - it's better than the other kind of coke!

Sugar is highly addictive though and a lot alcoholics have a sugar/hypoglycaemic cycle thing going on.

I hope she doesn't get the rehab flab rebound effect.

Is this why I read on another thread she's rumored to be bulimic now? She binges on truckloads of crap and then realizes she won't fit into her jeans if she keeps it down?
