          I mean do what you want, but its still bad for you in other ways. I dropped soda like a decade ago and I don’t even miss it

              Its been a while since I looked into this but from what i remember the acidity and carbonation are bad for your teeth, all the additives and artificial flavors and colors are bad for your kidneys and liver. I haven’t drank the stuff in a while so I don’t have any sources for you, but I would encourage you to talk to a doctor about it

                My teeth are in perfect condition, and my doctor is impressed with my health after a recent physical. I think there may be fewer additives and flavors than you recall. The sugar is the bad part. I think most aversion to sugar free soda is based on inconclusive evidence. Seeing as I have a relatively healthy diet otherwise, I don’t feel it is a risky situation.

                Now, other chemicals and plastics seeping into the food is another thing entirely, and will only get worse as time goes on and regulations are eliminated.
