Recently I stopped drinking soft drinks like coca cola, sprite, 7up and began making lemonade more oftent to replace the soda cravings and its been going good. About a month ago I began getting back pains and my wife suggested that it could be kidney stones developing so I immediately stopped drinking soda and began consuming fresh lemonade everyday. The back pain went away and I actually lost like 4 pounds of stomache fat. Im going to keep drinking lemon water and lemonade to clean out my body and stay healthy!

@BACONSTRIPSXXX Yep, But I am not so sure if it does.. I feel much lighter and better after my lemon and ginger flavored water. I have been on this for a few months now.

I might try the ginger slices, I heard it also helps regulate blood pressure

@enlightenedpsych2 Caramel is now used to add flavor and color to so many products, it is insane.

@enlightenedpsych2 I know this is even worse. We do not have many natural products in our days.

I heard about people drinking though a straw to keep the teeth enamel in from constant rinses of cola and like colas, lemon is citric acid. A little dab will do ya.

@BACONSTRIPSXXX Agreed. Sugar is really the cause of putting on weight. Not fats, as most people think

That is good. It is proven that soda's can cause a person to gain weight. And, something else people don't realize is that Diet Soda's can keep a person from losing weight.

Good choice @BACONSTRIPSXXX . I don't even remember the last time (year) I had a soda. Diet sodas are a joke too. You definitely don't want to have to pass a kidney stone.
