Soda vs. Water: It's YOUR choice

12 oz Can Soda
  16 oz Water
Calories 140 - 170   Calories 0
Sodium 35 - 50 mg   Sodium 0
Carbs 35 - 47 g   Carbs 0
Sugar 35 - 47 g   Sugar 0
Nutritional Value: None   Nutritional Value: Priceless

If you drink two 12-ounce sodas every day for 1 month you will drink about 5 pounds of sugar and more than 8,000 calories. The average person would have to walk about 100 miles to burn that many calories.

Every calorie counts, think before you buy.
