Bullshit. Sodas are shit.

day?
Speak for yourself, I hate soft drinks and hated it as a

Sodas and colas have bittering and souring agents added to it
to reduce the sweetness, so a drinker does not taste the
large amount of sugar in the drinks.

No, I did not say that. However, people that drink a lot of soda have
higher potential to have long term problems with type II diabetes and
such. Some people get addicted to is and drink large quantities of Coke >>> and other sodas. One Coke? No problem. Eight Cokes? Could be
trouble.

Leave the food color industry alone. Your son gets hyper becouse of the >>SUGAR, not the food color.

Soda doesn't significantly dehydrate you because the water content
usually outweighs the mild diuretic effect of caffeine, but its high
sugar content makes it a poor choice for hydration, often increasing
thirst and potentially pulling water from your cells, leaving you less hydrated overall compared to water. While you get some fluids from soda, it's not an efficient hydrator, and it can negatively impact health, so water is always best
Todays sodas suck. Give me glass bottles and real sugar.

The amount of caffeine in Coke is pretty small. Even with coffee, the caffeine is less significant than the fact that coffee is a beverage
that people drink when they are not thirsty. When you drink when you're
not thirsty, you over-hydrate. Caffeine also irritates the bladder. Alcoholic beverages are far more diuretic because alcohol suppresses the release of antidiuretic hormone. That means that I wake up at 3 AM
having to pee a lot.

For most people, a Coke for lunch is not a big deal. I've know a couple
of people that have a coke with them all day, others, multiple cups of coffee.
You are about the age that most people do get up once during the night
