A lot of us love to drink sodas, whether its diet or 0 calories, but some people don’t even drink soda. If you’re one of those people, good on you.

My opinion on sodas is that they are not really healthy for you because of the ingredients most companies use to make them.

Even thought they’re not that good for you, I myself do drink a lot of sodas even though I shouldn’t, because they can make some people break out with acne. They can be addicting to drink.

I know that I prefer the normal drinks more then the diets or zero calories, but the reason I like the normal versions of the drinks are because of the way they taste when I drink them.

My opinion is that diet and zeros are not as good as the originals because they use sugar substitutes rather then the normal “natural flavors” like corn syrup or sucrose.
