How soft drinks affect your health

[jusnikki]

If you eat prepackaged foods, buy your meat from the grocery store, or drink any kind of packaged drinks your getting unhealthy junk anyway....so I say live dangerously. Drink soda, lots of soda, even the dark kind....

Unless you're growing every ounce of your food and raising all the animals you eat then you cannot escape all the stuff they are putting in "all" foods. So why worry about a little sugar?? A little carbonation?? Why pick on soda???


Seriously, my kids use to get so angry with me because I wouldn't buy soda's (at least not for them lol) or kool aid or anything like that. I would buy juices. I know how quick it is to get addicted to that stuff. So now that two of them are grow they don't drink much soda.

We didn't have much soda/pop growing up, simply because it was too expensive, but we did drink bunches of kool-aid. But then, by modern standards, I'm dead.

I just juice alot at home, I don't really miss the fizzy stuff. I prefer fresh juices both fruit and veg and smoothies of course.
