Re: No more soda for youse!
Sigh, darnit! I want to comment before clicking on the links and then maybe later, after other posts I'll be back and comment on them. the reason is so what I say won't be biased by what I just learned.
I know sodas are not good for us. There's something in them, gotta go read a coke can, brb. LOL....aha! Phosphorous, which is natural but too much of it can and does leech calcium from our bones and bodies, and I'm 50, having to care a lot about bone density.
Then there's too much sugar, or the substitute sweeteners and the most popular is the worst for us, and dayum our govt. for not protecting us from aspartame, and those pretty little blue packets of a brand called equal.
Now, at a time in my life that I have been making myself have only one soda a week, approx....Pepsi went and did it! LOL they made the absolute best tasting soda, to me of course that's ever existed! This is what they call Jazz, and it comes in caramel and cream flavor, my fav. is strawberries and cream, and there's black cherry, I think it is, and cream. They have a diet version and it's really a treat of a soda, but the artificial sweetener, if I recall, is the worst of what's available. Sigh.....Stop being lost in thought where our problems thrive.~

There's one other ingredient in some soft drinks that is bad for people who take some types of medication (like the ones for high blood cholesterol). If you're taking any pills that have a warning about eating grapefruit products, you should steer clear of any soft drinks that might have grapefruit extract in them in the form of citric acid.

Re: No more soda for youse!
No artificial sweetener for me....my throat swells like a balloon!
Good thing or a bad thing???
I guess good since BOTH types of soda are bad for you even the DIET!
I love my Dr. Pepper but like everything else in life, moderately. 1 can every couple days.
But I am not one to tell people what and how to drink, that just works for me.Since when is psycho a bad thing??

Re: No more soda for youse!
Am I mistaken for thinking that because I stick to diet pepsi, diet coke or just plain ole seltzer, that I'm not at risk? I have osteoporosis-my hip burns after cardio class-is this what is doing it?
We do not let our kids drink regular soda; they can drink diet as long as it has no caffeine; but we do like to keep them on H2O and/or milk. I drink a lot of tea with lemon myself, hot, with splenda.

Makes you think, maybe diet isn't the way to go.

Re: No more soda for youse!
I drink soda. Less than I used to, but always more than I should. Fortunately, we've been able to warn our kids away... so far. They're still young and impressionable. In our house, we refer to Coke and Pepsi as "black juice." So effective is our brainwashing that our kids tell us the stuff is bad for us, the same way they unflinchingly nag their grandmother about the dangers of smoking.
