Dear steemians, In our part of the world where temperature remains high,consumption of water, soft drinks & soda water increases to keep hydrated.There was a time when people use lemon water to fulfill their nutrients demand. Lemon water contains vitamin C which gives strength to your immune system, it also works as a detoxifying agent. But the trend has been changed. Young people are more attracted towards the fizzy drinks like Coco-Cola,Pepsi-Cola,Sprite, 7UP etc. I think media is the big culprit for promoting these drinks. I am not against any drink. I am just against the impact which these drinks create in human life.
I love to take fizzy drink during my steeming time.Whatever I observed druing using soft drink I gained a lot of weight. It's may be due to my laziness and usage of drink which contains high amount of sugar. Checkout the numbers yourself
100 ml serving contains almost 41 Kcal and all of calories comes from sugar(carbohydrates). So what serving of these soft drink contains
yes 103 Kcal, I am not sure about 5% GDA is this a right figure. I checked out their website they claimed that the one 250 ml drink contains 9% carbohydrates usage.
Soft drinks have high glycemic Index & glycemic load so it has a great impact on your body and weight. The stuff which have high glycemic Index and glycemic load creates a greater impact on your blood sugar and your weight. So, one of my friend adviced me to take diet sugar drinks instead of drinks contain sugar.
Yes can which contains zero sugar. Zero sugar means no calories. as mentioned in the nutrients chart.
0.6 kcal energy. Great number. Good to use. No...No...No!. Let me say it again. 0.6 kcal is not enough to take this drink. Bottle is diet but still it tastes is sweet due to sweeteners "ASPARTAME" which is 20 more time sweeter than normal sugar. Is it safe to use ASPARTAME in soft drinks. Majority of diet bottle are using this type of sweetener in their drink and few facts claims that ASPARTAME is not good for human health. The major threat of ASPARTAME according anti-aspartame forces are
cancer,seizures,headaches,depression,attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), dizziness, weight gain etc

Still the use of Aspartame is debateable but it creates a greater impact on company. Coco-Cola bavrage is brave enough to write "Aspartame" in their bottle what is Pepsi-cola is doing. Check my friends
Pepsi-cola just mentioned the artifical sugar code 950 & 951* which is same "ASPARTAME" They don't dare to write the name which makes the product more questionable. Marketing company and big industries don't want to lose their money in any case.
I admit that I don't know about the consequences of using "ASPARTAME" in your diet. It's debatable. The question is debatable so my friends let's stop taking lot of drinks when the debate is going on. It's time to use more lemon water to keep you fit till the disclosure of further facts. This is my message for today's post. Hopefully you will like my post.
