Give up soft drinks, 357°

Think of the energy used to manufacture, bottle & transport soft drinks for no nutritional value.
What a waste!

I gave up soft drink for a year and half, then started again recently. Stupid stupid!

Okay, I'll take the pledge. I'll give them up at home. When I'm out, if there's no other option I'll drink them, but I won't ever buy individivual plastic bottles - including juice.

Does that count?

How about ginger ale? That helps get rid of my nausea, even more quickly than ginger tea or ginger snaps.

Otherwise, yeah, count me in. I loved soft drinks when I was a kid. When I worked night shift, I had about 3 or 4 liters per day of Coke or Pepesi. Now, my stomach is in bad shape, but has done so much better after cutting WAAAAAAYYYY back on caffeine and cutting out beef.

i'm interested to know how much carbon dioxide is used in industrial production of softdrinks... let alone the extra energy used to produce them and the sugar contained in them.

soft drinks (apart fro being C02 capsules) are sugar hits which stimulate insulin response in humans - basically a life shortening bilogical process. drink fresh water, leave out the additives, keep yourself and your kids free of chemicals which stimulate hyperactivity and its consequnses on human behaviour.

Water is the drink for humans (plus an occasional americano...).

Water is still my favorite thirst quencher.

I don't drink carbonated drinks. My only softdrink is homemade sun tea.
