Are dark drinks truly harder on your kidneys than clear drinks and if so why?

Question

This is why my sis says she doesnt drink dark sodas but I dont understand why they would be more harmful than clear.

Answer 1

It is two reasons acutally. It is becuase of the coloring in them and because of the caffeine.

My sister had kidney problems and kidney replacement and is not allowed to have dark sodas for those reasons.

Answer 2

yes it's true. because to produce a dark coloured drink, chemist in the lab have to put colourings like black, orange etc to make the drink looks more attractive by the eye. therefore, drinking dark coloured drinks is not very helpful to your kidney. try drinking other types of drink like Orange Juice or canned drinks like 7Up or 100Plus that does not have a lot of dark colouring.
