If
you take a look at soft drinks closely today you will find that there
seems to be nothing good in them at all. Yet, if you go around
schools and colleges, the sports field and movies, as a matter of
fact anywhere where young people are milling around, you will find
that just about everyone is sipping a soft drink. These drinks can be
a Coke or a Pepsi and a Sprite or a Mountain Dew, but all seem to be
hooked onto soft drinks.
But,
if you go back in time, say to the 60s, you will find that soft
drinks were not available then. What were young people drinking then?
In the days gone by, young people would probably be having a glass of
sugarcane juice or sipping those ice lollies. Sometime in the 70s the
soft drinks started trickling in and now there is nothing to stop
them. So, what is there in soft drinks that attract the young and why
should people not have these soft drinks? Or, can people still
continue to have these?
For
the households that have been ordering beverages
online
or
over at the local grocery store (or even a sweetmeat) would like to
read on the underlined essential points.
The
Bottom Line: Soft drinks and Beverages are good if taken in
Moderation
The
bottom line of the conversation around the ‘good’ and ‘evils’
of consuming soft drinks – or any beverage for that matter - is
that soft drinks are all right if consumed moderately. There is no
conclusive evidence of soft drinks causing cancer and you will not
wear out your teeth if you choose soft drinks that are either
sugar-free or diet drinks.
If
you limit your intake to just one or two in a day and eat wholesome
food, there is no reason for you to avoid them.
