Hi All,

A recent four-year study conducted by the Boston University School of
Medicine has shown that drinking as little as one can of soda a
day--either regular or diet--is associated with

a 44% higher risk of developing "metabolic syndrome," a precursor to
heart disease and diabetes,

a 31% higher risk of becoming obese,

a 30% higher risk of having a larger waistline,

a 25% higher risk of developing high blood triglycerides or high blood
sugar,

a 32% higher risk of having low levels of good cholesterol,

and a trend toward an increased risk of high blood pressure.

Here is more evidence that soft drinks are one of the worst things you
could possibly drink:

A much better alternative is fruit or vegetable juice.

With best wishes,
