In the last few years, I’ve been trying to stress the importance of nutritious food and its effect on athletic performance. One of the biggest culprits of poor performance and injuries are soft drinks (regular & diet). The ill effects of these beverages have been in the news lately. School districts have been rejecting contracts with soft drink companies because their link to childhood obesity and early onset to type II diabetes. We’ve have known for years that these beverages are “empty calories” without any nutritious value but current research is pointing to many detrimental effects to soft drink consumption.
