Have you seen an advertisement for a soft drink lately? It probably made you feel that it’s a great source of energy, fun, and happiness!

Don’t be tempted — soft drinks are among THE WORST things you can put into your body. Here are some reasons why:

  • Soft drinks steal water from the body - You need to drink 8–12 glasses of water just to replace the water needed to process a can of soda!
  • Soft drinks leach vital minerals from your body
  • Sugary soft drinks cause sudden insulin production, which can lead to a "sugar crash" - This is particularly disruptive to growing children and can lead to life-long health problems.
  • Soft drinks severely interfere with digestion - Caffeine and high amounts of sugar virtually shut down the digestive process and prevent your body from taking in nutrients.
  • Soft drinks are EXTREMELY acidic - Diseases flourish in an acidic environment. Soft drinks also deposit acid waste in the body that accumulates in the joints and around the organs.

Next time you're tempted to reach for a soft drink, just say "no!"

touched a soda in months in not over a year now. It is water, or crystal light for this kid.

I can't believe I ever used to drink soda! The worst part is that like most people, I knew how bad it was while I was drinking it. I knew the facts, but ignored them. Pretty shameful. I've been compeletly "soda-free" (not to mention processed sugar-free) for about 7 months now and I feel so much better. It's sad how advertising just ingrains this positive image of such a harmful product into our heads.
