Nowadays publicity shocks! This is a soda advertisement i US from last month. It advises people to not drink it at list not drink everyday soft drinks like n thesoda ans their friends. But pay attention to it, what is being poured instead of soda?If you remember back on the old days and we went to the supermarket with our parents what size of soda could we buy? I remember that 1 L was the largest you could get. In the US, it used to come in 200 mL bottles. Today, 350 mL cans are considered small and 600 mL bottles are typical. A single super-sized soda can pack as many calories as three to four regular cans of soda.
Many people may stir a teaspoon or two of sugar into their coffee, but few realize that a 600 mL bottle of soda can contain 16 ½ teaspoons of sugar. Drinking beverages loaded with sugars increases the risk of obesity and associated problems, particularly diabetes but also heart disease, stroke, arthritis and cancer.
I won't deny, I really enjoy drinking a almost cold Coke after walking a lot in the warm weather, nothing a cold juice of melon with mint wouldn't satisfy. To help, we can read the nutritional information printed in some of the meals before we buy them. Some people really do it, one might say it became fashion. For example most Brazilians actually spend some time reading it...Amazing no?
