When is soda healthy? Try never
Categories: Nutrition & Supplements
Are you a fan of soda and soft drinks? Although these beverages taste just about as good as anything, they have just the opposite nutritive effect. In fact, most soft drinks (if not all) are not good for you from a nutrition perspective. That is, unless you have a metabolism that relies entirely on sugar alone.If you see descriptive words like these: Classic, Effervescent, Exciting, Bold, Sophisticated -- remember, they are just words. It's sad that almost every consumer really needs to do tons of research about everything they eat and drink (if health conscious, anyway), but the reason for the obesity epidemic and record diabetes conditions is due to something. Why not try to get nutrition right regardless?

"These remain intensely sweet chemical concoctions, likely to do harm by altering the level of sweetness required to feel satisfied when eating other items."
This sounds like bad science to me. If I eat candy before lunch, my lunch might taste a bit bland.... but tomorrow's meals will taste fine relatively speaking. I agree that sugary soda is horrible for you and diet soda is not as good as water... and that too many of us drink too much soda, but to say that diet soda is bad because it might make us crave more and more sweetness is just rubbish. Unless someone has done a study to show this across a long period of time?
