Lesson 3 What Is Soda Doing to You?
Artificial Colors and Artificial Flavors
Soft drink companies attract consumers by adding bright colors and sweet flavors to their products.
Most of these colors and flavors, however, are not natural.
They are artificial chemicals.
For example, the artificial color Yellow No. 6, used in some pineapple juices, adds nothing to the taste.
It is just there to make the drink look pretty.
Also, the artificial flavor that gives the drink its pineapple taste is not real pineapple juice at all.
Studies have shown that excessive consumption of these kinds of chemicals can create problems such as kidney disease and ADHD.
You can see how the sugar, the acid, the caffeine, and the artificial chemicals in sodas are really not good for you.
Perhaps you might now understand that you should stop drinking them.
However, if quitting sodas altogether sounds too difficult, cut down gradually.
For example, replace one regular soft drink or one diet soda per day with another more healthy drink.
Of course, the best choice would be water.
Water has no calories, no acid, no caffeine, and no chemicals of any kind.
And if you want something to add a boost of flavor, put a slice of lemon in the water.
If you can’t break your soda drinking habits in a short period of time, don’t be too hard on yourself.
Once you start cutting back, you are heading in the right direction.
