(25,928 posts)I almost never consume fizzy drinks. One or two times a year on a road trip I'll have a fizzy drink, always a 7-Up or its equivalent. Otherwise, nope, no such drinks.
I honestly would love to research connecting drinking various fizzy drinks to health out comes.
Nearly 40 years ago now, I gave up drinking soft drinks. The underlying reason was that my younger son would consume soft drinks to the exclusion of anything else. I recognized that wasn't a very good thing, and stopped consuming soft drinks, or having them in the home. One thing led to another, I simply don't consume soft drinks, and I'm astonished, when I'm in a grocery store, at the numbers of patrons who have several of those large containers of soft drinks. Honestly, I don't even know how many cans are included in those things..
