Are soft drinks really bad for our health?
Are soft drinks really bad for our health? Yes.
There are 10 to 15 calories per ounce of non-diet soft drinks, so a 12-ounce can contains 120-180 calories on the average.
Drinking a can of this “liquid candy” a day adds an extra 120 calories to the day’s diet.
Statistics show that an extra 100 calories a day leads to a weight gain of 10 pounds a year. Imagine what drinking a can with every meal could do to your health.
But, worse than calories, is the more dangerous fact that imbibing soft drinks is associated with the development of Metabolic Syndrome (central obesity leading to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, insulin resistance, diabetes, heart attack, stroke).
All of us should abandon soft drinks and also save our children from this dangerous drink.
Red wine, even for children (as practices in some European countries), would be safer than these “treacherous and subtle poisons.”
