Before starting the harmful effects we must know the advantage of it which is only one that it tastes goooooooood , thats it otherwise its good for nothing.
DISADVANTAGES OF SODA
Tooth Decay
The ph of soda is very low i.e the acidity is way too much which is responsible for reduction of mineral content of the enamel making teeth more sensitive , weaker and prone to decay. the acidity in soda is even worse than the solid sugar added in candies.
Risk of Osteoporosis
Due to presence of phosphorus in aerated drinks , the chances of removal of calcium from kidney is increased.
Increased risk of cancer
According to WHO , daily intake of sugar for a person is 6 tsp while in a single can of coke there is 10 tsp of sugar which itself is above than the normal limit of intake. high amount of sugar increases the insulin of the body which feeds tumor.
Apart from the taste , do you know why coke is blck in colour? so the simple reason for it is the flavour used in them which are made up of chemicals which are responsible for breast cancer, prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer.
Kidney damage
Your body must buffer the acidity of soft drinks with calcium from your own bones. It's because of their acidity and radical mineral imbalances. Your body must buffer the acidity of soft drinks with calcium from your own bones. As this calcium is eliminated through your urine, it slowly forms kidney stones.
Dehydration
Sodas act as dehydrating diuretics. Both caffeine and sugar cause dehydration. Caffeine is a diuretic and causes an increase in urine volume. High concentration of sugar is drawing off water because your kidneys try to expel the excess sugar out of the blood. When you drink a caffeinated soda to quench your thirst, you will actually become thirstier.
Increase in Blood Pressure
Experts have reasons to believe that overconsumption of fructose, particularly in the form of soft drinks, leads to an increase in blood pressure.
Increase in Heart Disease
Sugar intake has always been linked to high blood sugar, high triglycerides in the blood and dense LDL that are the major cause of cardiovascular diseases.
Causes sleep disorders
Soft drinks contain caffeine that affects our nervous system and alters mood and behaviour. Also, it prevents drowsiness by blocking the hormones and sleep inducers making you stay awake for long.
Pesticides in Soft Drink
CSE found high levels of toxic pesticides and insecticides, high enough to cause cancer, damage to the nervous and reproductive systems, birth defects and severe disruption of the immune system. Market leaders Coca-Cola and Pepsi had almost similar concentrations of pesticide residues.
