Never too late. Stay away from HFCS. Or you could try the all natural gluten free probiotic organic beverage with hops, barley and other natural grains health drink otherwise known as beer.
Water, beer, coffee (with milk) and single scotch malt for me. Proud that my kids are only milk and water.
The problem with beer and wine is they still contain sugars that have only been partly biodegraded using a man-made anaerobic process. Asking the human body to finish the process is more of a killer than drinking sodas.
