Hello, if I was to go into the medical, economical and political factors of soda would you reduce or quit drinking ?
Health - the ingredients in soda is enough to make you scratch your head, corn, corn syrup, high fructose corn sugar, caramel flavoring ( chemicals known Carcinogens 2-methylimidazole and 4-methylimidazole ), phosphorous acid ( destroy the enamel of your tooth, acidic levels have been compared to battery acid )
- Percent of adults age 20 years and over who are obese: 35.9% .CDC
-Diet Soda Intake and Risk of Incident Metabolic Syndrome and Type 2 Diabetes in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis MESA
Economic - 2012 the health cost for diabetes was $245 billion.
Soda companies lobby politicians by giving them big endorsements. They give to both political parties, but the Republican candidates have received more money.
Political --So when health officials, professionals, scientist, or concern citizens want a health bill pass or more regulations for corporations(e.g remove dangerous ingredients that are banned in other countries ), the paid candidates on both sides based on interest would shut it down.
Currently they are trying to cut food stamps but give farmers who grown subsidized crops like corn ( important ingredient found in almost every food product, ethanol ) increased unlimited subsidies. Despite the great message of drinking water done by the first Lady and introduction of gardening; fruits, vegetables and water can be a bit extra for most people's budgets. The cheap ingredients found in junk food ( sourced from subsided crops ) are more accessible and affordable. If fruits and veggies were subsidized it would become more affordable and we would be in better health.
Healthy choices might be more expensive, but drink more water to quench your thirst. Add some slices of lemon to a jug of water, or some sliced cucumbers. Drink that cold you wont miss soda.
It would be hard to break it right away, especially if there's some emotional attachments.
Try to reduce the amount you drink and get into the habit of reading labels.
Research the side effects of the ingredients,
The best thing for your health is to eliminate all soda, avoid all corn sugars.
We serve an awesome God who provided natural foods to cure and make us whole. Get happy about fruits and veggies. Sugary juices are just as bad as soda, made with that corn stuff or been boiled/ pasteurized killing the nutrients. Eat whole foods.
Ask God to give you the strength and healing.

Research the side effects of the ingredients,

- Is is from nature of chemical lab ?
