Soda Benefits?

Benefits of drinking soda? Not quite. Are there consequences of too much soda? Of course. New evidence suggests that sodas sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup may increase the risk of diabetes, particularly in children.

Some of these include empty calories, high fructose corn syrup which has been implicated in obesity, sugar which can erode your teeth, minerals in soda can deplete your calcium stores, and finally some organs can be damaged by excessive use.

Healthier choices include water which is calorie free, milk which is full of vitamins, and fruit juice in moderation. Fruit juice is also loaded with sugar and developing the habit of adding club soda or water is a great idea to dilute it.

Tea is another great choice, whether green or black, beat soda any day.
