This is dumb.
Just stop treating artificially sweetened/flavored drinks as water.
“Quitting” is just another ‘diet’.
“Just stop treating artificially sweetened/flavored drinks as water.”
Just letting you know... artificially sweetened does not refer to adding natural sugar to drinks. The majority of the article is about natural sugars, not artificial sweeteners.
“Quitting” can also be a simple tweak in lifestyle.
I stopped drinking soda decades ago and don’t miss it a bit.
I am amazed by all the standard work or school lunches I have been served, with no alternative, that included a big-bread sandwich, bag of chips, soda and big brownie or cookie or whatever.
What a disaster of a diet.
“Just stop treating artificially sweetened/flavored drinks as water.”
I drink a lot of water because I’m diabetic. But I also consume a particular soft drink for the bubbles and it helps clear my throat. And that’s diet seven up.
Besides having no calories, it contains nothing mentioned in any red flag said about soft drinks except it does have 2% of a daily allotment of sodium per can. And that’s all. It is a refreshing change from water, cool aid, unsweetened ice tea, (caffine), and unsweetened lemon aid. And because it has little taste I have mixed lemon aid with it for a change.
Think about it. Might be a good substitute for you.

Yah, just more twaddle from Karens who want to control your life.
Too many calories via drinks? Cut back.
Geesh.
