Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Sunkist, Or Sprite

Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Sunkist, or Sprite; each and every single soda is bad for our bodies. Most of us grow up consuming so much of it without being aware of the horrible outcomes it can lead to. Whether we consume so much of it for the caffeine or just because we think, “it goes good with our food”, soda is horrible.

Imagine if I were to add all of the other sugary foods that I consume on a daily basis. At this point, I’d rather not even know how long it would take to burn all of the calories that the sugar turns into although it is actually a great
