Every generation has some product/ingredient that they didn’t know was dangerous at the time: tobacco, lead, asbestos, etc. What is that item for this generation?

    Soda specifically - is something we should be looking closer at in relation to sugar abuse. The number of kids and young adults I see quaffing giant plastic cups of fountain drinks is alarming.

    Even worse when they use it to replace water.

        Juice isn’t any better

        yeah because it’s high sugar. i think that’s absolutely common knowledge by now.

        I agree especially with concentrates or “juice drinks” that have less than 10% juice. All of those things are just sugar drinks.

      Carbonated water doesn’t kill people.
