Soda Pop

At one time Master Brinker had mentioned that he advises we cut pop out of our life. I thought to myself “Pop can’t be that bad. Can it?”.
The next time I had a bottle of pop I looked at the label. I was shocked to see that the sugar content was 31 grams. I showed my mom and she mentioned that labels don’t often show the amount of something for the entire amount of the product in one package. So I looked at the label again and it said “per 250mL”. One bottle of pop has 591mL. So that is over double the amount of sugar that I thought it was. Over 62 grams of sugar in one bottle! I have never seen such a high amount of sugar in a product. But slurpees (slushy drinks) are even worse!. Slurpees (the same amount as a bottle of pop) contains roughly 3 times the amount of sugar. Keep in mind that sugar is what feeds fat cells. A lot of sugar causes these cells to swell and this is what makes cellulite. But besides that, too much sugar can cause some major health problems.

At one time my grandma was talking about this guy she used to know. She said that he used to be huge. But now he’s really skinny. When she asked him how he did it he said that all he did was stop drinking pop. That goes to show just how unhealthy pop is for you. So many people don’t pay attention or have no idea just how bad pop is for your body. Remember when it was on the news that most cereals contain as much sugar as a chocolate bar? Everyone went nuts and started cutting out sugary cereals. Some of the sugariest cereals have from 15-18 grams of sugar per cup. Pop has 31 grams per cup. Everyone made such a big deal about the cereal while they are going out a drinking pop, without a care.
