A recent study produced by Dr. Michael Goran of the USC Keck school of Medicine reveals that there may be higher levels of high fructose corn syrup in sodas than previously thought. The corn syrup industry has quickly gone into defense mode and refuted some of Goran's science. While Goran's evidence appears hard to argue with, it doesn’t change my distaste for soda, and I doubt it will change the average soda drinkers consumption. It doesn’t matter to me if soda is using corn syrup or cane sugar, it's BAD for you.
The minds that have to change are those of parents. As a kid, I certainly went through at least 3 or 4 sodas a day, because that is what was in the refrigerator. I also remember a handful of trips to the dentist’s office to get cavity’s filled. I have not had a cavity since I stopped drinking soda around 8 years ago. Coincidence? A few trips to the dentist office pales in comparison to diabetes and other health problems that can occur from such an unhealthy lifestyle. It is your job as a parent to fill the fridge with healthy beverages. Most responsible parents won’t smoke in front of their children. It’s time to not have sodas around them either.
