How Bad is Soda?

Most popular drinks are soda based. Although being refreshing, soda drinks may damage your body. And here’s how.

Soda

Obesity – Sugar you take with soda drinks is being translated into fat in liver. So if you drink just one can daily, you may gain a pound of weight gain every month. Plus, artificial sweeteners in soda induce physiologic and hormonal responses that make you gain weight.

Teeth damage – Soda dissolves tooth enamel with high levels of acidity, which makes it one of the main causes of tooth decay, even worse than sugar in candies.

Liver damage – Liver is working overtime to refine all sugar from soda. Also, too many soda drinks could cause liver cirrhosis.

Kidney damage – Soda drinks are known for their high phosphoric acid content that could promote kidney stone formation.

Diabetes – Drinking soda stresses your body’s ability to process sugar. Add weight gain and chances of developing diabetes are increased.

Heartburn – Soda beverages are very acidic. They also deliver a lot of air in the form of carbon dioxide, which can cause stomach problems and heartburn.
