Back in the 70’s and 80’s (when I was born circa 1982), my family and I rarely drink soda. Soda was considered a great treat. We would drink soda twice, maybe three times a month. On special occasions. Water was and STILL is our main source of beverage to drink. Not just any water but Alkaline Water. What was so unique about soda is, it incorporated carbonated water assisted with some sweet ingredients that consisted sugar, of course! Soda also gave you some kind of boost with caffeine. I loved drinking Orange flavored Crush. That was a REAL treat for us all. But today 2013, people are consuming soda on a daily routine and thats what’s causing a real health concern. 25% of the United States consumed soda on a regular basis. Very young adolescent children at the age of 3 are drinking soda. Children today are the main consumers of soda. Our kids are drinking soda as normal as drinking water.
It wasn’t too long ago since one of my Uncles who died of congestive heart failure due to drinking ‘Sprite’ DAILY. He would consume soda as thought it was water. i.e. You know when we eat something sweet like a Snickers candy bar or a Blueberry Muffin, after eating a sweet snack, chances are you will become thirsty and wash the sugar down with water or milk rather. Instead, my Uncle would drink either Kool-Aid or Sprite AFTER eating a slice of chocolate cake. To wash down Sugar WITH Sugar is NOT GOOD. That was Pretty Bad.
Here are some side effects for consistently drinking soda:
- Diabetes
- Tooth Decay
- Dehydration
- Calcium Loss and Osteoporosis
- Increase in Blood Pressure
- Obesity
- Bacteria
- Caffeine Addiction
- Kidney Stones
- etc.
I’ve mentioned before in on of my blogs, you can gain 50 lb. a year by drinking carbonated soda or any other carbonated beverages. So TODAY, soda is considered to be Cancer in a bottle or Cancer in a can. Cancer is the #1 killer in America. I would admonish you my friends to ‘BEWARE of the Soda.’ Seriously!
