Soda - Is it good for you?

Y/N The average American drinks more than 60 gallons of soft drinks each year?
Y/N One can of regular soda has about 10 teaspoons of sugar?
Y/N One regular soda per day increases your risk of diabetes by 85%?
Y/N Over-consumption of sodas & sweet drinks is one of the leading causes of our obesity epidemic?
Y/N Caffeinated drinks can cause jitters, insomnia, high blood pressure, and irregular heartbeats?
Y/N Stopping the soda habit is an easy way to improve your health?
Y/N One extra can of soda per day can add as much as 15 pounds to your weight in one year?

 
The answer is ‘yes’ to all these questions. Did you get them all right? Ingredients in a can of soda can effect everything in our bodies from teeth to vitamin depletion. Many of the sugar substitutes in diet sodas have the same side effects plus more. As with everything, moderation is the best when drinking or eating anything.
