Dangers Of Soft Drinks and Energy Drinks A young child gets a drug from his parents, friends and his school multiple times a day. He is innocent and does not even realize he has a tragic addiction to a powerful drug. The drug is not only legal; it's freely available to him every time he craves it. The boy has been addicted to this drug since early childhood and suffers daily from the side effects of the depression, ADD (attention deficit disorder), acne, weight fluctuations, lack of self confidence and self esteem, fatigue, constipation and anxiety and yet he's only a child.

The boy continues to cry out for help but no one listens. When he comes home from school he has access to even more of the drug in his home. His parents and teachers continue teaching him not to take drugs, not to smoke, not to drink alcohol, yet they are feeding his addiction with one of the most toxic drugs of all time! Believe it or not the "drug" in question is a common soft drink or energy drink perceived by most people as just another beverage. By age fourteen ( or even sooner) he is overweight and newly diagnosed with diabetes and a slew of other health problems.

He is ultimately prescribed daily with insulin shots and over the counter toxic pharmaceutical drugs as a "cure" while his life slowly begins to deteriorate. He continues to decline throughout his life until both his feet are amputated as final " treatment" for his diabetes. And to make matters worse, since childhood he was provided with the drug by the people who loved him the most. Although, this is a harsh and sad story. It happens all too often. The worst part is parents aren't even taking the time to research and protect their children from these deadly drugs because they to, have been addicted since early childhood, and so the cycle continues. Everyone thinks, "It's okay. What's the harm of a soda now and then? You got to live a little right?" But when does "living" become a lifetime of poor health?

It does not not matter what kind of soda or brand you think about it contains at least one verifiable toxic ingredient. Regardless of how you feel about them, sodas are addictive and they are a type of drug. Nevertheless, you can make a change happen. Just by eliminating half of your daily soda intake, you can make great stride towards beating the sugar addiction for your own health and your family's health.
