What are the bad effects of drinking soda?!
Answers: I want to scare myself so I won't drink them anymore.
Did you know that your soda could actually kill you? Especially those that are caffeinated. Did you know that you can get an entire day’s calorie intake from drinking soda? There is no question that’s soda pop is rather tasty and enjoyed by young and old, and especially popular with teens. You’re an adult and if you choose to drink soda pop that’s your business but you really need to watch out for your kids. But really your soda drink should come with warnings just like cigarettes do.
People that drink a lot of soda pop often eat less because the soda acts as a food replacement. Studies have shown that pop gives an average teenager around 12 teaspoons of refined sugar a day. It wasn’t that long ago that kids looked to milk for a main source of fluid. In 1977-1978 kids actually drank twice as much milk as they did soda, but by 1997-1998 kids were drinking twice as much soda as they were milk. Studies have shown that the reduced intake of vitamins and nutrients has caused health issues for many kids.I can also tell you that soda pop is a major contributor to obesity because of its high levels of sugar. It is also doing a fine job of making dentists wealthy because the sugar and acid rot teeth, and studies have shown it contributed to type I diabetes development.
Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to pick on soda pop. An occasional glass or bottle is just fine. The trouble is that many people are drinking a lot more than a glass or two a day.
Now here is something else to think about. We’ve been told for years that caffeine is addictive and that we should not drink more than a cup or two of coffee per day. In fact you probably know someone that’s suffered headaches when they didn’t get their caffeine fix. Caffeine is a stimulant and although some claim it helps their sex lives, what is known for sure is that it increases the removal of calcium from the body. And calcium is required to avoid osteoporosis when we are older. So what do you think is in soda?
Soda is packed with caffeine so we are feeding our children a stimulant daily, we are contributing to the removal of calcium from their bodies and a very young age, and according to myth we may even be helping our teen’s sex lives. Doesn’t sound too good does it?
On top of that sodas have other ingredients that are unhealthy. For example yellow number five die which is in soda has been linked to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, allergies, and asthma in children. It is also a contributing factor to kidney stones and an increased risk of heart disease. Yes there are studies done to back this up. In fact the University of California and Harvard have both extensively studied the effects of soda pop on both children and adults.
Here’s another scary fact. Pop that is in aluminum cans has been shown to increase the rate of Alzheimer’s disease. That’s because the aluminum seeps into the pop. For ages studies have shown aluminum as a link to Alzheimer’s.
Pop will also make you thirstier rather than quench your thirst. So then you drink more of it and the companies make more money. The combination of chemicals in pop actually dehydrates you rather than hydrating you. It becomes a vicious cycle. Then you drink more pop, take in more calories, get fatter, and get thirstier all in the same gulp.
the carbon pulls the calcium out of your bones. not a scary story, just a fact.
as far as your teeth go, anything you put inyour mouth that has carbohydrates, whether its sugar, bread, fruit, milk, anything with carbs, will feed the bacteria in your mouth, which produces the acid that erodes the enamel on your teeth. soda is not good for you , but it shouldn't be solely to blame for dental problems

Regular soda pop is really, really bad on your teeth enamel.
And then there's those empty calories too.
Recent research indicates that Diet Sodas may actually make you fat.

Soda is the American term for fizzy sugary drinks, right? Sugar is bad! It's high on the glycaemic index, so you feel good for awhile, then your sugar levels drop and you feel worse than you did before. It also rots your teeth and gives you bad breath, and sugar really bad for getting wrinkles. Don't do it! Stick to water! Or if you must, choose a carbonated drink that has zero sugar.
It changes the ph in your body.
