Every Christmas we can see the TV commercial of COCA COLA and the Santa and his helper. In this time I do hate TV commercial. It is shown more than several times a day. My son drink a lot of COCA COLA, so every time he get some money he get to the store and by some.
Coca cola is not a healthy drink. However a lots of kids like it and always want to have it. A specially in Macdonald. I have tried to make my son (16) understand that this is not god for him and that it´s contents are not healthy. But since he is old enough to make his own decisions about what to eat and drink I have no luck.
Do you drink coca cola? How much? How often? Do your kids drink it a lot.?

I don't usualy drink cola (pepsi, coca-cola, whatever else) or other soda drinks. I stopped when I was in middle school because when you're thirsty aqua or juice works a lot better. And the only meal in McDonald's that isn't too much for me to eat is Happy Meal so I can choose orange juice or milk shake instead of soda :P

Hi, and thanks for responding.
Since we have been to see an dietitian's, and talked about why you should not drink coca cola in the first place he has been really god. He now only drink light, and mostly he take some Looka instead. I believe he already knows that. However he has been doing god, lost lots of weight to in the process. It´s about getting of the addiction.

I do not drink coca cola very often.Althoug it is very good drink, but also it concist a lot of sugar, what my body does not really need.Also when I was child my parents always used to buy a juices so the most I am use to drink them and also green tea.I have just start watch what I am really drinking and when I have seen how much positive effect gree tea has I stick with it for 3 years or so.Also I have been seen my youger cousin drinking coke for so many years and now she is twice as big as me and to me it is just not healthy.I think once when i would have a child I will be just really carefull with a buying drinks for him.

Hi, Thanks for responding.
My son stopped drinking coca cola for three months ago and it has already paid of. He has in this time lost lot of weight. Only bu cutting of all this drinks of pain sugar. Tell your cousin that she should really think about it. I do not mean you should stop, but at least cutting it down. No or when you like to enjoy some food on a restaurant I do to have a coca cola, but I do not spend every day drinking it. I usually make the choose of LOKA, or mineral water. It´s god and healthy.
Have an ice day.

Well, my son and I was to see an dietitian who told him about why he should not drink it anymore. However since coca cola can bring some addiction she suggested some coca cola light. But that do not taste the same so he changed his drinks to LOKA instead. And now three month later he have lost some weight in the process and he is really happy about that. I think you should consider to at least change the drink to something healthier.
Thanks for responding, have a nice day.
