While I won't argue with that, Pop is probably one of the single most
widely used/abused substances, and a lot of it is ingested by young
children.

I can't help but feel that that stuff goes a LONG way in contributing to
childhood obesity.

There is about 1/4 cup of suger PER CAN and it's not unusual for people
to drink at least one 6 pack (or more) per day!

People need to learn to drink more water, PLAIN water.

I have a 32 oz. water glass next to my computer and a large cup at work
that gets filled with ice water. I probably drink close to 1 gallon per
day...
