What is soda? In its simplest form, it is a mixture of syrup and carbonated water. What role does it take in your life?
If you view soda a water-replacement, you are most likely more tired than you need to be, you struggle being outside on hot days, and your body has trouble getting rid of toxins in your body.
If you view soda as a dessert, something to be experienced in moderation and always accompanying water, then you have very little to fear from soda.
I recently tried a bottle of Pepsi Natural, which is made using real sugar (not high fructose corn syrup) and Kola nut extract. It’s amazing. It’s also close to five dollars for a pack of 4 bottles. Worth it, but probably not something I’ll be able to buy every time.
Research (like http://www.slu.edu/x15990.xml) suggests that high fructose corn syrup decreases your ability to feel “full” and leads to obesity, among other problems. Of course, some of the replacements for high fructose corn syrup in diet beverages are also controversial. When possible, we should be drinking things with natural sugars like fruit juices.
What is soda to you?
