Need Another Reason To Leave Soda On The Shelf? We’ll Help You Out

Like you really needed another reason not to buy soda! This is yet another reminder that this common beverage is horrible for you. It rots our teeth, causes diabetes, makes us fat and with frequent consumption will cut years off your life. How do you feel about being under control though? The stranglehold that companies like Coca-Cola have on us is similar to a country under the control of a military coup.

A note from the author, John Robbins:

“Conventional medical thinking has held for some time that the association between sugar consumption and type 2 diabetes is solely related to weight gain. But new research conducted at UC San Francisco indicates that sugar intake may also be directly linked to diabetes. The researchers gathered data on sugar availability and diabetes rates in 175 countries during the past ten years, and identified that high sugar levels in a population’s food supply are linked to a high diabetes rate. This data provides support for an idea that has been steadily gaining recognition, namely that not all calories contribute to diabetes in the same way.”
