Soda is not a beverage

The soda consumption by some of my extended family always disturbs me but then I remember how normal it is and that most people think soda is a drink. It’s not. I mean – it’s liquid, and eatable substances that are liquids are called “drinks” – but it’s a drink in the sense that vodka is a drink. A can after work or as a treat with 1 meal per day for an adult, sure. But absolutely not something one would – or rather SHOULD – ever consume habitually just out of thirst. Good God…

Soda is chemically treated liquid sugar. It’s candy. I ain’t against candy. Just don’t treat candy like it’s food.

Likewise with soda – It’s fine to enjoy, just not as a drink to quench thirst or…as a drink at all.

Soda is a candy, not a beverage.

Understand this and your health will improve.
