Soda specifically - is something we should be looking closer at in relation to sugar abuse. The number of kids and young adults I see quaffing giant plastic cups of fountain drinks is alarming.

Even worse when they use it to replace water.

I agree especially with concentrates or “juice drinks” that have less than 10% juice. All of those things are just sugar drinks.
