Why does everyone think soda is so bad for you?!
Why does everyone think soda is so bad for you?
I always hear all the crazy kook conspiracy theories about the artificial sweeteners and cancer, too much caffeine, etc. But isn't soda really just flavored water? Soda has been around for how many years and I don't really see mass death around the world because of it.
Am I the only one that thinks that soda is probably just fine for you, as long as you are not overweight?
Answers:
OK, you were right....there are some CRAZY people out there on this subject.
No, caffeine will not give you cancer, especially in the quantities found in sodas, give me a break.
No, there are not 20 spoonfulls of sugar in EACH SIP??? Sugar content is clearly displayed on label, diet soda has no sugar.
There have been no findings that any of the sugar substitutes will cause you cancer, otherwise they would be banned by FDA. The weirdo extreemists can claim that ANYTHING will cause you cancer (the sun, floride in your water, microwaving in plastic, sitting to close to the TV, etc.)
So, use common sense, don't rely on soda for nutrition, but if you like it, drink up without fear of cancer or "attacks" on your liver etc.
