The Coca-Cola company kills people. Actually it’s people who drink soda habitually that are committing suicide with soda. There is always a choice.
I know too many people who drink a liter bottle each day and got diabetes, etc.
So, I have to call it like it is. Don’t drink soda. In fact, don’t drink any sugary drinks – and most of them are.
Iced tea, “orange juice” and “apple juice”, energy drinks, Gatorade….
Our bodies were not built for all this sugar. In these doses – it’s poison.
Having worked for Coca-Cola for many years, I can attest that this is a fact. We used to use twenty tanker loads of can syrup per 21 hours of running production in our plant. When there was a leak in a tank and the “product” dripped on the floor, it would eat the concrete under the tank in a day. It’s poison!
And avoid the sugar substitutes to, all of them! They are arguably as bad or worse than sugar. There are other things in these drinks that are also toxic to our bodies such as the food colorings.
Agreed!!! Don’t drink your calories. In addition to soda, drinking coffee with sugar and cream from DD and Starbucks is horrible. Some of these drinks have a ridiculous number of calories from sugar and fat. Don’t get me started on the cost per cup, per day, per week…
Larry,
Off topic but I recently experienced the pain of my spouse having an affair. It has blown my life, family, annd business apart and rebuilding life is now a full time job. The most painful thing I’ve experienced and never prepared for.
If people think it won’t happen to them they are more susceptible and no one trains for it until it happens.
Please warn people of the dangers of affairs and not investing into their marriage with as much tenacity as the rest of their lives!
Agreed. Cut soda and all the other sugary drinks from your daily diet. (Ok, I may need a little iced tea with sugar in the summer!)
Good morning Larry, Good advice! I stopped drinking soda over 20 years ago, not sure the exact effect on my health but Im sure the effect was a positive one.

Love your blog today! Reducing sugar intake is key to a healthy gut and microbiome. Women- 24 grams/day- men- 29. Read the labels on what you are eating and drinking. Sugar feeds the bad bacteria, which cause inflammation throughout your body, leading to many illnesses.
The only one of these that I disagree with you is orange juice.The vitamin C is just too important especially during the winter.
I really agree with this!! And not falling into the trap of thinking that “Sugar Free” Options are healthy for you… because I have personal hand experience regarding how bad that decision is for you as well. Choosing truly healthy decisions every day, as much as possible, is key and we do have a choice.
