Fooducate: 10 Reasons to Quit Soft Drinks (and diet soda too)


Let’s admit it. We’re a nation of junkies addicted to sugary soft drinks. Decades of clever advertising and cheap unlimited access have made us slaves to sugary pop. We must stop this nonsense. Here are 10 reminders why you should quit, right now!
1. You’ll lose weight. Regular consumption of soft drinks make you fat. Drinking just one 12 oz. Pepsi a day for a year will add 18 pounds to your body weight when compared to water consumption.
2. You’ll lose weight by quitting diet drinks too! When you consume calorie-less sweets, your body gets confused. It releases insulin to absorb the expected sugars in the blood stream, but those sugars never arrive. The result is increased fat cell production.

p.s. My comment:

Soda = candy-in-a-can
Diet soda = chemicals-in-a-can

Is this chemical-in-a-can really health smart?
Wonder how much $$ the American Heart Association received from...
