Prescription America: Giving up Soda

Have you been watching your Dr. Oz lately? Oprah and the good doctor have started a segment called Prescription America. Dr. Oz gives viewers an assignment for 14 days and you’re supposed to write in with the results.

The first assignment was to give up soda for two entire weeks. Die hard soda addicts wrote into the show after the two weeks were up claiming they’d lost as much as 10lbs; that their skinned cleared up; a fog had seemed to lift from their brain and that they no longer felt bloated. If those aren’t good enough reasons to give up the drink, I don't know what is!
