Honestly, I never understood why people drink those soft drinks.
They taste like medicine to me. I like H20. My main drink is Chinese
green tea, which I get from Chinatown 2x a year at a high price, but
it's the top of the line, and one uses very little per cup.
I also like fruit juice, esp. if not made from concentrate. Matter
of fact, I'm hooked on Trader Joe's Mango juice. Yummmm...!
Now that I'm on my soap box: I
If you have teen- or sub-teen girls - PLEASE do not let them drink
cokes at all, if possible, and if not possible, limit their intake.
These abominations are taking the place of the milk/yoghurt that girls
should be consuming to build strong bones for possible child-bearing
and generally to avoid osteoporosis. These poor children are setting
themselves up for early onset of osteoporosis, with its deadly threat
of fragile bones fracturing easily. Hip replacement, anybody?
Plus, there is the problem addressed above of the HFCS which do so
much harm -- again, disproportionately to the developing bodies of
young teenage and sub-teen girls.
Parents! The girls don't have the judgment to make these decisions
on their own, plus they are heavily swayed by peer pressure and
advertising. A little "tough love", SVP.
