Numerous reports about Coca-Cola were out this year, and they’re mostly bad news. We’ve heard about how it can cause sugar spikes, increase in blood pressure, feelings of sluggishness and irritability, for an hour after one simple sip. Even how one drink daily increases your risk of heart attack, stroke, obesity, diabetes, even certain types of cancers.

Now another one says that Coca-Cola’s top scientist is stepping down after the report that the company funded a study of how its products are not such a contributor to obesity. Read more in this report by Anahad O’Connor on The New York Times:

Coke’s Chief Scientist, Who Orchestrated Obesity Research, Is Leaving

Coca-Cola’s top scientist is stepping down after revelations that the beverage giant initiated a strategy of funding scientific research that played down the role of Coke products in the spread of obesity. Read more…

So first, the researchers from the University of Colorado returned the money, now the Coca-Cola’s top scientist is stepping down. What’s going to happen next in this big company? I guess the soda industry is indeed dying.

Fizzy drinks such as Coke are all chemicals and has zero nutritional content. In fact, an average Coke in-can contains 150 calories and 10 teaspoons of sugar. True, it may make you feel the ‘rush,’ which makes you feel like you’re high, but it basically does nothing but harm your body.

Why not try drinking green smoothies or those that were made from whole foods such as lemon or lime juice? There are so many healthier alternatives to kick your soda habit! Once you’re used to these, soft drinks will taste like rust.
