Who's With Me?

Alright, Taylors, it's time to take one small step toward better health. It's irrefutably fabulous for your body, takes no time, costs no money (maybe even saves you a couple bucks), and I'm convinced it won't even hurt too bad. Here are just a few reasons your body is begging you to ditch the soft drinks:

Soda has no nutritional value and both sugary and diet varieties have been linked to obesity. The acid/sugar combination is a killer for tooth decay. The phosphorus in soda actually leeches calcium from your bones, causing osteoporosis and increasing your chance of fractures. It's like drinking negative calcium! Caffeinated varieties can cause caffeine dependency, and some say even decreased chance of conception, and some artificial sweeteners in soda can even cause cancer! Studies have also linked ingredients in soda to kidney problems, bladder damage, heart disease, weakened immune system, and tons of other BAD stuff.

So I hereby declare April to be no soda month, and invite each of you to commit to cut the soda for a month. I promise you'll feel better and be blessed for taking care of your God-given body! Sign your name if you're in! Here's my John Hancock:
