Re: chocolates and soft drinks
Sadzz,
My family and I used to live in Saudi up until I was 15. Anyhow, all those years over there, my mom hardly ever had soda in the house. It was always only water, milk, and juice. And my skin was so much healthier as a teenager. We had cookies and chips, but the junk food was not over done. Then when we moved over here, we had pepsi in the house on an a daily basis. And i feel it made a negative difference on my skin.
It's amazing to see many over-weight children in schools. And research is showing that many kids already have heart disease. Kids will come into contact with soda....even as early as 3. You can let them try it...but in moderation. Redirect them with more healthier alternatives available (milkshakes, smoothies, juice, lemonade).
