I totally disagree with sugary drinks causing obesity. Obesity and diabetics are caused by radiation targeting which destroys flora in the stomach. Although sugary drinks can increase your weight, it only does this if you do not get normal exercise as sugar is the first thing to be burned up. The problem is starches like cheap white breads, pizza, and pastas make from bleached flour which is ten times more fattening. You can have sugars if you counter it with high protein foods and have the proper flora in the stomach. Flora is the first line of defense to digest sugars, then stomach acids, then insulin from the pancreas. You really need to do some isolated tests and you will see that I am 100% correct. The biggest thing to causing obesity and diabetics is cyanide and radiation, and guess who is targeted the most? Do some tests and analytics and see for yourself.
