A member asked:
Might drinking a lot of soda (5-8oz. cans/day) lead to diabetes even if a person maintains a healthy body weigh?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Upon your age, family history and other factors. Why are you taking in so many empty calories each day? Try some quality nutrition instead, it has a lot of useful and healthy nutrients in it that aren't in your soda. Water hydrates you just as well as soda, and is much better for you.
