Legal Addictions

Category: Health Issues

I admit it.     I am a coke-a-holic.     I have given up sodas plenty of times, citing that age-old mantra . . . "I can stop anytime I want to". . . I mean, JEEZ! . . . I've stopped dozens of times.     I've gone for as long as six months without a single sip of soda passing my lips.     But, if I break down and have one soda, I'm "off-the-wagon" and back on the sugar and caffeine, again!     And, because sodas are so readily available, EVERYWHERE, it is so easy to fall back "off-the-wagon", any time, any place ...

I can't drink diet sodas because they trigger my migraines and, to be quite honest, I'd rather just consume the 'natural' caffeine and sugar than a can filled will all sorts of chemicals with names so long that I can't even pronounce them.

Today, I read a news article entitled Soda Drinkers Beware?, that states that "study links soft drinks to esophageal cancer".     There have always been plenty of reasons to cut back and/or give up sodas, but this study is yet another wake-up call.

Just think -- how many of you have put a bit of cola into a glass and dropped a penny into it?     How clean and shiny did the penny become in just seconds from the carbonation and chemicals eating away at the grime on the penny?     Scary, huh?     So, what are those sodas doing to our insides?
