Soda pop = ...violence??

Everybody knows that soda is bad for your body. It has a lot of sugar and can lead to weight gain, heart disease and even diabetes. But does it cause violence? A study found that teens who consumed more soda were more likely to carry weapons or be in fights at school.

I think this is totally bogus. I grew up drinking a lot, I mean, A LOT of soda. But I never felt the urge to carry a weapon or hurt anyone. I was very caring and quiet. I never had the urge to do drugs, go drinking, and other careless activities. I do, however, believe that the sugar can affect the way our body reacts. We become sluggish and might have a caffeine addiction that is hard to break.

Maybe we should be more worried about soda effecting our teenager's health in the sense of diabetes and heart disease.
