With regards to sugar free sodas the artificial sweetener aspartame used has been linked to cancer and people can often be allergic leading to very unpleasant side effects. In my opinion it is not a worthwhile substitute due to the hidden risks and long list of possible side effects.

Hey Derek – Genetics is a big factor. That sort of approach may eventually catch up to you though. Are you still young? Under 40 years? One problem is that younger people that do not have a healthy diet and lifestyle do not notice any problems simply because of their age. It often catches up to them and sometimes by then it is too late.

Thanks for your comment!

I average about 6-7 pepsi’s a day and between 1 and 4 energy drinks on top of that. I am underweight and my blood pressure is below average. I can run a 3 mile in 20 minutes with no training and my diet of whatever I can find. I never drink straight water, I always mix it with lemonade or gatorade mix and I hardly ever get cavities. Hurray genetics.

I think the water is better than soda.I suspect those “energy” drinks,too.

My dad averaged at least a beer a day. I drink two sodas a day, an improvement. Perhaps my son will drink a soda a day; then my grandson will drink water only. It’s all about leaving room for improvement here, folks:). It’s about taking one for the team.

Thanks for your comment, Andrew! There are no certain results, but you can be sure your clone that drank soda every day would probably be heavier than you, all other things being equivalent. Your clone would also have a much higher risk of diabetes. There is some recent research that even people who drink diet soda have serious health risks associated with that.

Your choice of beverages is a smarter one. Just be alert for other things in your lifestyle that can put your health at risk.

I can’t help but wonder if I had an exact clone, only that clone drank soda every day like it seems most people do. How much healthier would I be than him? I have some trouble understanding why someone would put so much sugar in their bodies
I drink like a soda a month, if that. All i drink is water, orange juice, and milk.

Hi Will! your posts are very helpful as Im doing some research on why people drink soda, knowing its bad! like what appeals to them, is it stress the caffeine the taste? or because its rebellious! i hope some off you’ll can post and reply to this, so i know why soda is so appealing, and also why you’ll dont drink it anymore!

Good post and I think there is nothing wrong with repeating good information or posts on similar topics. I think you are right that the difference in the populations of those choosing to stop drinking soda and those who don’t correlate with other wise decisions. I still do drink some soda but a reasonably small amount. I figure it would be better if I stopped totally, but some improvement is better than none.

I agree with you on this one.

Btw, My favorite reason to stop drinking soda is it can do wonders for your belly. =)
