Some Soft Drinks May Seriously Harm Your Health

I previously linked to an article about what happens to your body if you drink a coke. Now there’s a new study that “suggests a common preservative found in drinks such as Fanta and Pepsi Max has the ability to switch off vital parts of DNA”. Reading this was the last straw for me. Up until now I drank quite a lot of Diet Coke in an attempt to avoid the calories, but this is simply too much. A co-worker of mine classifies all these drinks as “poison”. I can see why now.

While I drink a lot of water during and after my workouts and during lunches, I still want something else sometimes. Since the health issue is more important than the calories issue, I (almost completely) switched to 100% pure orange juice. Hopefully this won’t come with a weight gain.
