I used to drink alot of coke then i switched to just water everyday till i figured out that even water can hurt you even kill you if a large amount is consumed so i only drink 2 cokes a week and switch over to water but what i dont get is my mom has been drinking pepsi since the very first day it come out till this moment and nothing else and shes healthy as a horse i quess it just depends on the person.

I've decided on Jan 1 that I will no longer drink soda, and I've stuck by my word! It's like an alcoholic, you can't even have just one or you will start down the path again.

I don't miss it most of the time....but Dr. Pepper is sooooo good. It is not worth all the health problems. I wonder if one could figure out how much each can of soda will cost you in health costs?

From what I know the following statement is not quite correct: "Experts recommend that if you are going to drink soda, have it with a meal and brush your teeth afterwards with fluoride toothpaste." I have been told that if you brush your teeth after eating or drinking sweet things, you can end up doing more harm than good. This is because you are brushing the sugar into your teeth and gums. If you left it for a few hours then brushed your teeth it would be much more beneficial and wouldn't be like brushing your teeth with sugar.

It's sad with todays fastfood culture , a lot of young kids get hooked on soda and become overweight on an early age and become diabetic later in their lives I agree , I use to drink a lot of soda and watched my pants’ waistline get wider and wider , when I slowly lessened my intake and finally stopped drinking soda altogether I actually lost some inches of my waist.

It tooks time to convince him that it was the soda that had made him sick! So I think another danger with soda is kids actually thinking they can be used to re-hydrate on a very hot day, you need lots of water to go with that soda!

So true...normal soda is simply empty calories and you are killing your diet and your chances of losing weight by drinking it. However there are a lot of people out there that think they can simply drink diet soda and all will be good. However they miss the fact that there is still a lot of terrible chemnicals, artificial sweetners within these diet soda drinks that not only still decay the crap out of your teeth, but they actually leave you feeling hungry. The articificial sweetners make you crave more sweet foods, and you end up going back and eatin a ton of sugar anyway. So I am in total aggreeance...stay away from sodas, get your body used to water and you won't want to go back! Awesome article.

I slowly worked my way to diet soda and then off of it completely and I feel great, I lost a few pounds and didn't feel as loafy as I did with all of that sugar in my body. Now if I could just ween myself off of pizza too....
