> It’s clear that soda’s calories contribute to weight gain and obesity, but whether its impact is greater than that of other unhealthy foods has not been conclusively demonstrated. Nevertheless, the change is already underway. I think that if you consume a lot of sugary stuff, like drinking soda all day, you're going to get used to the taste of sugar. If you cut soda, consume a lot less sugar, you may find you have less desire for other really sweet products like ice cream, cake, candies, etc., because they are just so sweet and at the very least won't feel like eating a whole bunch of it any more.
