Is Soda Dangerous?

[Natasha Schulman]

I am sitting here cramming for my final tomorrow and I am pumping my body full of caffeine and sugar to keep myself awake to cram in those few extra definitions.  As I sit here sucking down a coca cola I was just wondering how bad this could be for for my body later on in life.  Like am I going to wake up to a commercial blaring that soda is the new cigarettes?  Because I cannot quit drinking soda....I love it too much.  I know that sugar and processed food is not good for the body but how bad is it really?  Am I going to lose years off my life because I drink soda or am I going to get Alzheimer's from Skittles?

You know what they say...everything is good in moderation! I think that a lot of people have this same issue. Fighting giving up something you love is really hard. Like Mary Jayne said, I think if it makes you happy go for it!

I think that people who live the longest are those who live the happiest, so if soda makes you happy, I say go for it :)

I think everyone's body is filled with caffeine! I really dont know how bad soda is, but I do know I like the taste.
