soda is bad for you.
Soda is one of the most acidic beverages with a pH about the same as vinegar, which is bad for your esophagus and stomach. Soda also contains high levels of phosphorous, which seeps calcium from your bones which contribute to weaker bones and ostosporosis. Not to mention, Soda has also a very high content of sugar which contributes to excessive calories and obesity. And lastly, many research studies have linked soda to kidney problems. Think about it this way, the ingredients are actually not really fit to be for human consumption, the body does not need it, so you shouldn't either. There's nothing beneficial about drinking soda, what does it do for your health? If I managed to make you at least a tiny bit guilty about all the soda left in your fridge, think about it this way: You can use it to clean your toilet or your car because its been proven to be strong enough to eliminate rust and that grease stain on your shirt, yeap, along with softening you teeth enamel promoting plaques and cavities OUCH!

  2. thank you hun, and I'm no addict either, but I still drink it every once in a while (probably about once every month) and I really need to stop. I thought maybe if I write about it, I can remember it more and give it up all together.

  11. Wow!

    I can honestly say I am guilty of drinking soda with practically every meal, infact I spack if I find that there is none left when it comes to dinner time...I just can't drink water...can't...
    Not that I drink Coke at all that much, I normally just have lemonades, still bad but oh well! I never drink Diet sodas however as they taste awful and I've heard how dangerous they are if you drink them for a long time...
