I only drink Hansen's all natural soda. It's hardly nutritious but at about a six pack a week, I'm probably not doing too much damage.
There's a lot of Americans out there for whom soda is the only hydration their body receives. My mom is like this. Drinks absolutely nothing but Coca Cola, about 6-8 cans a day.
Stopped drinking Diet Coke in June. I have counted a bunch of things I feel better about. Blood Pressure, whiter teeth, no bloated feeling, more money!
My mother-in-law’s nickname used to be the Diet Coke Queen. She now has osteoporosis. I don’t think it is a coincidence. She stopped drinking soda about two years ago and her problems have not increased like they had been doing every year. Make sure your mom gets a bone scan.
One day, I read the ingredients list on a can of Coke. 45g of sugar, it said. So, breaking out my trusty diet scale, I measured 45 grams of sugar, then poured it into a glass that was about the same diameter of the can of Coke.
The sugar filled up about an inch of the bottom of the glass. After that, I never drank another can of any soft drink. In contrast, I use 1 teaspoon of sugar in my cup of coffee.
How many grams of sugar are in your Hanson's all-natural soda?
I drink MtDew by the truckload during the day.
Beer in the evening.
