ReplyDeleteI like what you wrote! Some remarks on sweet drinks and obesity:
ReplyDeleteJust look at the label of any soda to see 27 grams of sugar per 8 fl oz serving. I know a lot of people (we all know them as well), who daily drink a large bottle of Coca-Cola. 10 servings = 270 grams of sugar! That's over 800 empty calories as high fructose corn syrup! Just a little math and a little imagination to see the effects of such madness.
I wish you that some people have grown to love the water after reading your post! It would be a few less obese people among us.
