Growing Old with Soda?
Regardless of age, soda shouldn't be the drink with every meal. Easy to say but hard to do? I see a lot of parents in fastfood restaurants giving their kids (as young as 1 or 2 years old) soda to drink. Kids drinking coke or spite doesn't seem to be a frightening sight but how about putting 3 spoon-full of sugar in one glass of water and make a 1 year-old kid drink it all up? But some parents even enjoy watching their kids wincing at the soda effect on the kids' throats.
If kids should not drink sodas, lolo shouldn't do more.
Facts are:
1. Sodas have NO nutritional value. Nothing at all except filtered water and refined sugar.
2. 330 ml can A DAY translates to more than a pound of weight gained every MONTH. So if you drink at least 3 sodas in one day, you are almost like adding 3 months of weight gain. For each additional soda, you are increasing an additional risk of 1.6 to getting obese.
3. It promotes weight gain and DIABETES. Diabetes can kill you. Your wounds heal longer with more sugar in your body.
4. Osteoporosis. I wonder why lolo is drinking Sprite in McDo Divisoria.
5. Gives you beautiful teeth (actually, it's the opposite)
6. (times six) and more.
In fact, Soda drinks are even more dangerous than cigarette smoking.
