Drinking Too Much Soda

Remember how your mom always used to warn you that too much pop and other sweet drinks would rot your teeth? Turns out that’s not all it’ll rot. Recent studies have found that refined sugar might be one of the worst things out there for you in terms of health, and soda is loaded with it. For a can of the sweet stuff, you’re looking at 36 grams – about 11 sugar cubes in 355ml. Sugar has been linked with obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and stress on the liver. And since refined sugar is found in tons of packaged foods, it’s already hard to avoid, so cutting back on your soda consumption is a good start.
