Environmentalism isn't just about making the world a better place. More specifically, it is about making the world a better place for YOU! Simply put, what good would a clean, healthy Earth do if it's inhabitants weren't also clean and healthy? This is the idea that I took with me when I set out to investigate the conundrum posed by organic soda. I mean, sure it's organic, but does that in itself make it healthy? If soda itself is as bad as they say, how much better does it really get when the chemicals are eliminated?First, I looked at the widely accepted dangers of conventional (non-organic) soda; obesity, tooth decay, caffeine dependence, and bone loss.
As yet, conclusive studies proving soda's influence on the obesity plight in America have yet to come forth. This is because many obese people engage regularly in such a wide range of unhealthy habits, it becomes difficult to pinpoint the specific effects of a single factor. However, it is impossible to argue that the calorie count of soda is very high, and that none of those calories contain any nutritional value. There have also been studies that show that the brain does not register liquid calories in the same way that it registers solid calories, which means that all of those useless soda calories not only didn't help your body grow, but you're also going to feel just as hungry and drained as you did before you drank them.
