Sugary drinks (juices, sodas and energy drinks) are considered to be a major contributor to the obesity epidemic in the developed countries. A single serving of soda can contain upward of 200 calories — same as a meal! Unlike a meal, though, it doesn’t make you feel full even for a short time, so you don’t compensate by eating less. Regular sugary drink consumption puts you at high risk of obesity, which is not only an aesthetic problem but also a potential contributor to further health issues, including heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
