I once received a detailed mail regarding the harm that sodas cause, it was a horrifying read. The amount of money in this industry is huge, and the advertisements portray as if drinking soda is “cool”. All this adds up to the hype and most soda lovers (addicts?) aren’t aware of the harm they are causing themselves.
Thanks for the comment, Hsien.
