Nine reasons not to drink SODA

1. Increases chances of a heart attack
2. Changes your metabolism 
3. Possibly carcinogens 
4. Diet soda isn't even that great
5. Soda is linked to asthma 
6. Builds fat deposits all over your body
7. Increase in weight gaining
8. Shorten lifespan
9. Contains BPA

While growing up I was never a big soda drinker probably because my mom never bought it. Now I thank her for never buying because I don't have an urge of drinking it often or even at all. While some of my friends drink at least a cup of it a day, I barely drink a cup of it a week. Soda is one thing that I try to avoid at all possible costs I mean if you just look at the nine reasons you shouldn't drink it, that should say enough. 

But truthfully, if I grew up with soda in my house and drinking it all the time I think things would be a little different then they are now. I don't usually thank my mom for many things but for this one reason I do. 

Not only that..soda portions have increased a tremendous amount.
