Read this story about cola, then tell me what you think.

The title would make you believe that cola is bad for your muscles. Once you read further into the article you realize that the people in the study who had muscle problems were drinking anywhere from 3 to 7 LITERS of cola in a day!!!
What the???
I'm sorry, but if I drink 3-7 liters of ANYTHING in a day, perhaps even water, it might cause even more serious problems than this. And these people got immediate relief when they stopped drinking cola, started drinking water, and got a potassium shot.
Good grief...moderation folks. Moderation.

i guess the saddest part is that it's not all that uncommon. Whilst at Lagoon last week I saw people lugging around these huge gallon mugs that you buy and get free refills the entier season. I really think A LOT of people don't drink water, but they chug soda.
I'm glad they made some changes at the high schools regarding this too.
Yeah, I read that article too and thought it was pretty lame. And the fact that there were PREGNANT women in the study drinking that much soda is just crazy!
