Not for the good for sure.

I've heard that it is one of the leading causes of osteoporitis. It is reported that the high carbon dioxide content knaws away at bone cartilage in all of the joints.

It also has a very negative affect on bone density.

No good news here bud...none at all.

Answer 7

The main ingredient in most sugary sodas is not sugar at all. it's high fructose corn syrup or HFCS and it is directly responsible for the American obesity epidemic, amongst other related diseases.

Thinking of switching to diet soda? Even worse. Aspartame is, by far, the most dangerous substance on the market that is added to foods. Some of the damages include:

    * Multiple sclerosis (MS)

    * ALS

    * Memory loss

    * Hormonal problems

    * Hearing loss

    * Epilepsy

    * Alzheimer's disease

    * Parkinson's disease

    * Hypoglycemia

    * AIDS

    * Dementia

    * Brain lesions

    * Neuroendocrine disorders

Find a soda sweetened with old fashioned cane sugar such as Boylans or better yet, switch to water with a little lemon and honey.

good luck
