First of all. If you want to shed some pounds, get rid of cellulite, have a beautiful smile and an overall healthy lifestyle; make sure your fridge has not Coca-cola products on it.
All kinds of sodas in general are very high on sugars and chemicals that not only make you fat but unhealthy too. (Especially the dark ones.)
So, before you read this, think of five reasons you drink Coke?
I know I know there are probably only two right?
1. It tastes good.
2. You grew up with the habit.
Well, now you have the chance to make a difference and teach your own kids not to drink this poison.
There are way more than five reasons not to drink Coke, but I like to show you the ones you should be most concern about:
5. Dental Erosion: All the sugar and coloring is not good for your teeth. Ask your dentist. Even if you drink sugar free soda, the acid content in sodas can be destructive to enamel tooth surfaces.
4. Kidney Damage: Researches demonstrated that large quantities of cola result in enhanced kidney stone formation.
3. Soda does not satisfy thirst: Many commercially and popular brand sodas contain sodium. Sodium is a form of salt and makes you thirstier.
2. Liver damage: There is evidence that consumption of too many soft drinks puts you under increased risk for liver cirrhosis similar to what chronic alcoholics have. The preservative sodium benzoate may be the cause.
1. Extra pounds: Soda contributes to overweight and obesity. Drinking one can of soda a day can add more than 1 pound of weight gain every month. A single 12-ounce can of soda has as much as 13 teaspoons of sugar in the form of high-fructose corn syrup. 97 calories per can.
Missthinwallet advise: Water is the best way to go, however if you definitely can survive off water, try other soft drinks with less preservatives like home made iced tea and natural juices.
BTW models on soda commercials really drink milk and water…Ironic huh???
