Recently, I stopped buying sodas at the store. Here are five reasons why.
-
1. They are horrible for your teeth. Sugar aside, it turns out that soda has acids that will eat away at the enamel on your teeth. The dentist blamed it for my last cavity, even though I was drinking Diet Coke.
2. They are expensive. Recently, 12-packs of my favorite soda went up in price to over four dollars. Considering that not only are my sodas sugar-free, but are also caffeine-free, what exactly am I paying for?
3. Drinking soda in front of my son is setting a bad example. We all know soda is rotten for kids. Why be a hypocrite?
4. They stain your teeth. I am a big fan of Crest Whitestrips. Why have to bleach my teeth more often than necessary because they are turning yellow from caramel coloring?
5. They give you gas. Enough said.
As an alternative, my family has been drinking iced tea. It is much less expensive, and is even healthy! The downside is that it still stains teeth, but it’s nice to do away with the other negatives and save some money!
