Is Soda as Bad for Us as Smoking?

New kid in town.

 

At the risk of giving you wood shed flashbacks, I have to say it:  This is going to hurt me worse than it does you.  Trust me.  I’m a Diet Dr. Pepper addict, and I don’t use the word lightly.  I average a 2 liter a day….happily.

But my well-meaning, albeit increasingly annoying, husband keeps putting information in front of me and my bottle about new health studies.  (Can they not find something else to study???)  Seems that the also well-meaning/increasingly annoying researchers keep turning up one thing, not only are soft drinks “not good for us,” they’re believed to be “bad for us.” 

Below is a link to a very eye-opening/bottle plugging article on Prevention.com.  I was kind of amused by the lead in paragraphs - they seemed amazed that the average American has two glasses of soda daily.  I hate to brag, but I have that before noon. 

The article’s titled “4 Reasons to Never Drink Soda Again“  and it’s a very important read.  Unfortunately.

I’ve got to change my game plan.  Someone send a memo to Luzianne Tea - their sales are about to are about to go through the roof.
