With all the research that is done today, it feels like everything out there can be bad for your health. For all I know, the plastic in my laptop may cause cancer. With all this fear, it makes people wonder if anything is as unsafe as people say. I just read an article where the question was brought up: Is soda really that bad for you? As it turns out soda really is very bad for you if you drink too much. And in America, most people do.
The article said the most soda you should drink is about three cans in a week. It is very common for people to drink at least one a day. This is probably why America has one of the highest obesity rates in the world. Soda is full of high fructose corn syrup and empty liquid calories. Too much leads to being overweight, which can lead to diabetes, stroke, heart disease, and even cancer.
In a perfect world, we would not have to worry about these problems and there would be no need for all the warnings that are out there. There would even be healthy soda. However, soda really is bad if over-consumed. It is very smart to limit yourself. If you need to, stop drinking soda. I guarantee, it won't be bad for you.
You need to name the article that you read this from because otherwise you can get in big trouble for plagiarizing. Otherwise good blog.
ReplyDeleteI think you raised a lot of good points. I think that any drink of any kind with calories is a waste of calories and it's important to remember that we intake calories for energy. I don't drink soda and I cut it out a long time ago for this very reason. I also liked what you said about are things really as unsafe as people say. I think there are a lot of things that people over think. As a kid I was outside all the time and who knows what I really got into, and I am just fine.
