I don’t understand.

WHo ever said that soft drinks were healthy l’chatchilo?

Come on, give me a break. The sodas are junk, unhealthy and can cause over the long term damage to the system. All you are doing is drinking sugar sugar sugar. Ruins your system. Is it worth becoming a diabetic r”l over this garbage.

sodium benzoate is common in many other commercial foods as well. Soda in unhealthy for the sugar content alone, even if it didn’t contain any other adverse ingredients and diet soda is even worse because aspartame or splenda are both unhealthy alternatives to sugar.

Ok now lets even out the bias a bit here. I am so sick and tired of the movement against sugar free products. America oh america listen up … “YOU ARE FAT & OBESE” now hom many suffer including children i.e. type 1 Diabetes suffer form too much sugar in their diet. People did you know that you can die from over drinking good ol water yes check it out … your stomach will explode if try to drink like a gallon in 1 sitting. ….
check out cdc.gov or pubmed for info.

I read this same report in a Consumer’s Report article last year. Benzene is a big problem. But, it won’t stop people from drinking soda just like the presence of mercury doesn’t stop people from eating tuna fish.

Does anyone know if there there any soft drinks that don’t contain sodium benzoate?
