Healthbolt has this terrifying post about the effects of drinking one soft drink on the human body. I'll admit that I've pretty much given up soft drinks (save on the occasional basis) a long time ago. But I still love a big dose of Iced Tea, southern style (that is with lots of sugar), and my guess is that it has a similar effect.
Sigh. All the fun stuff is really really bad for you.
