Based on an article on cnn.com from 1998, Michael Jacobson, executive director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest said, “Liquid candy, call it what you will, it is junk; it is devoid of nutrients except for calories.” Dr. Bette L. Catoe, in the same article said, “The soda, because it does occupy space in the gastrointestinal system replaces the desire to eat more nutritious food.”
Even then, the article says some doctors and consumer groups warn too many soft drinks can increase the risk for heart and kidney trouble, obesity and tooth decay. Yet, other organization such as The National Soft Drink Association and The Grocery Manufacturers of America said groups like that are just overreacting.
Today the average American consumes about 57 gallons of soda annually. Could there be a link between our nutrition and our rising health concerns? What if there was another way? What if there was a healthy fast nutritional drink that could be consumed instead of soda? Purium has recently come out with the new Power Kids “Anti-soda” drink.
