There is no nutritional value in taking soda. Guess what ? “Just one can of cola contains over 9 teaspoons of sugar — that’s 1½ times more than the American Heart Association recommends a woman have in an entire day.”

And you think you don't need to run away from it to preserve your health and stay healthy?

Water on the other hand has a lot of benefits yet people don't seem to appreciate its intake as expected.

Why then do people invest in what has neither health nor nutritional benefits?

If you know why , kindly drop your answers.

You say it contains 9 teaspoon of sugar. Do you know that sugar is sucrose (a carbohydrate) that ends up as glucose in your system. Glucose is the same end product you get when you eat carbohydrate foods like rice, garri, fufu yam etc. Glucose gives energy so soda has nutritional value!!!

@ihart

Soda contains of more fructose than glucose which is poses more danger to the health of people.

And note that the human body isn't designed to process this form of sugar(fructose) at such high levels. Unlike glucose, which serves as fuel for the body, fructose is processed almost entirely in the liver where it is converted to fat,"

So, imagine taking 2 cans or more of Soda per day, it's like putting much stress on the liver.

people love sweet stuffs and dont even have a clue on how to take charge of their health

@hardquy
Exactly!

Unfortunately those sweet things end up giving them bitter health experiences.

It has not been really easy with those participating in this "No Soda Challenge" but they are determined to stop anyway. I am happy they are complying against all odds.
