those are 10 very good reasons.

But everyone has to make thier own choice
it does cause tooth decay. LOLOLO

But one the other hand. One of my children was very ill one time.
They had us rush them to the hospital. They felt it was faster us driving then waiting for a ambulance., As we lived in the country at that time. Drs office was in the country. Ambulance ppl are volunteer. which meant we had to wait for a crew. My child had a high fever and was very very out of it. Needed fluids badly.
I had a can of soda in the car as we were racing to hospital. I filled the bottle with it. he drank it. I had not been able to get anything in him up to that point. It was prolly the sugar. Yes i had tryed pedalight . nothing had worked.
IMO that day the soda saved him. not that i am promoting drinking soda . Just another postum note in the sheeps life
Thank god for that one.....................
