I chose to do my research assignment on the effects of soda on your body. I used to drink about 6 sodas a day, at least. My boyfriend decided that I was too unhealthy and that he wanted to help me stop. He set a rule, I can only have soda on Sunday. Through out the week, I can only drink water or something healthy. It has been really hard, but I am doing it. Obviously, sodas are not good and it seems like a "duh" kind of a subject. But there's a lot more to it than just the caffeine and sugar. I think this is a good thing to study now because so many people don't realize what the sodas do to them and will drink them constantly and cause so many problems to their bodies. I think that people should really care about this study because it could cost them their lives in the long run. I expect to really discover what soda has done to my body and what I have stopped it from getting worse. I have looked up some stuff on caffeine and how addictive it is, since I struggle with an addiction to caffeine. Caffeine is definitely a horrible "drug", but some people seem to think that it isn't as bad as it really is. I think this is from the idea that soda isn't a problem to drink. I just want to look more into sodas in general, not just the caffeine, but everything. The stories that I've heard about and if they are true, and also how badly they do mess up your body.
