It doesn’t take much soda to overdose on sugar in a day.  On average, four ounces will do it.  There about 6 teaspoons of sugar in an 8 oz. soda.   A half cup has about 3  teaspoons.  Kids should have about 2 teaspoons of sugar a day.  Adults don’t need much more. When was the last time you saw a small 8 ounce container of soda?  Kids, teens and adults drinks a lot more, a recipe for obesity, diabetes and depression.  Drink ice cold water or diluted 100% fruit juice instead.
