Yes, that’s a harsh title to use when posting links to reports of the effect of soda’s on health and weight, but it’s also an ultimate truth; if you don’t pay attention to what goes into your body you can expect it to respond adversely. I’ve had my shared of periods of constant consumption of Coke, Pepsi, etc…. but being in the mindset of a parent and of trying to get back into shape means being aware of what you’re consuming and its impact on your body. For a while there, I’d have a Pepsi and try and ‘hide it’ from the kids in a large cup. They’d say ‘Soda? I want soda’. Insert shudder here. That helped me stop that trend, and these reports might help you do so as well if you’ve not already.
