An interesting article on Breaking The Cycle Of Sugary Beverage Consumption. I long ago swtiched to drinking mostly plain water and black coffee, but it can be difficult getting off of the sugary beverages.
When the astonishingly successful and talented band Chicago wrote the lyrics “I’m addicted to you babe, you’re a hard habit to break,” they could have been referring to those addicted to or at least think they are, to sugary beverages. Regardless whether drinking sugary beverages is a true addiction or not, what we do know for sure is the many and scientifically proven hazards to our health these super-sweetened drinks bestow upon us. From excess empty calories devoid of any nutritional value to being linked with the development of tooth decay, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, heart disease, weight gain, gout, high blood pressure and kidney stones. Why wouldn’t we want to quit the madness?

But keep up the never ending round of one sugary drink after another, and within time, your health will suffer.
