For many people, sodas are a way of life. The average American drinks an estimated
56 gallons of soft drinks each year. Many people know that tap water isn’t a healthy liquid to drink, and some of them drink soda instead. They probably don’t realize that the main ingredient in a soft drink (aside from sugar, of course) is tap water. Chugging more than one sugar- sweetened soft drink a day appears to significantly increase a woman’s chances of developing
diabetes, says a Harvard study. Not only that, sugar in pop combines with bacteria in your mouth to form an acid which attacks the teeth. Sodas are also linked to weight gain (Duh…!) So, if sodas are so bad for us, why do people drink them? Addiction to sugar! The average soft drink contains 10 teaspoons (around 160 very empty calories) of sugar. There are at least 76 ways sugar can ruin your health.
What is the best drink in the world? That would be good, clean water. For most people, that means filtered water. If plain water is too boring for your taste buds, I enjoy taking a quart of pure water and adding two drops of lemon, grapefruit, clove, or peppermint oils. My favorite brand of essential oils is Young Living Essential oils. They are the purest, highest quality oils that I’ve ever found.
