>The only strong signal we got was that people who were giving up soda were the most likely to lose the most weight. The cynic in me feels like we're writing giant book-length stories that are just cover to get people to reduce their sugar intake. I stopped drinking soda regularly at least 5 years ago since graduating college and was able to lose 20+ pounds thanks to diet and exercise. The thing is after having stopped excercising I have been able to keep the weight off compared to people my age who also don't excercise and the only difference is that they drink way more soda than me. I try to limit my sugar intake to less than 10 grams a day. It's crazy just how much sugar modern drinks have, the only exceptions seem to be Beer and Milk and those were developed thousands of years ago.
