Studies have shown that the number one cause of obesity is carbonated drinks. On the top of the list for the worst for you is Dr. Pepper. Dr Pepper is found to have in some cases even more sugar that a candy bar or an ice cream. For people who consume more than one carbonated drink a day, this can be a really serious health risk. 23 different flavors? What exactly does that mean? I think it is a cover up for the ridiculous amount of sugar that they are loading into this drink. It is important that people look at the Nutrition Facts before they drink it. It may just seem like only a drink, but it might as well be a meal. This beverage has more calories and sugars to last you all day. The thick syrupy taste of Dr. Pepper is undoubtably delicious, but hazardous to health. A study has shown that if an average person consumes 1 Dr. Pepper a day, they will gain 8 pounds in a month. This can really add up, not to mention the incredible impact this drink is having on one's heart. It is better to stick to a beverage that will not pack on the pounds such as Dr. Pepper does. For example, orange juice, sprite, and tomato juice are all healthy alternatives. One should not give up Dr. Pepper completely, but be aware of what is in it! (:
