What Soft Drinks are Doing to Your Body

post #1 of 8
Thread Starter 
Soda, pop, cola, soft drink — whatever you call it, it is one of the worst beverages that you could be drinking for your health. As the debate for whether to put a tax on the sale of soft drinks continues, you should know how they affect your body so that you can make an informed choice on your own.

I am not sure about the part where artificial sweetners cause cancer, because I read another study about two days ago that said they were harmless for the vast majority of people.

I barely drink any sodas. I am allergic to chocolate, caffeine, and all dairy products. When I am not sick, I exercise an hour a day almost everyday. And I am still fat! Life is unfair.

Well gee, thanks Lenora! I purposely avoided reading this Sunday cause I just knew i wouldn't like what it said! Dr. Pepper is my 1 big "food" indulgence since I can't drink juice anymore. But even I know 5-6 cans a day is way too much. I need LOTS more water but its so boring!

I love my diet Dr. Pepper, and I have found that I have to choose to eat healthy regardless of my cravings. It would not matter if I gave up all diet sodas, I would still want carbs! It's all about choices.

Diet Coke/Coke Zero is my true food vice, but I try to keep it contained...
