Answer 4

In moderation soda is not going to be bad for you. But there are plenty of reasons why people say it is. And there is valid reason for these concerns too, well most of them anyhow.

The first reason is of course people either have no self control or any concept of moderation and drink too much. This compounds any of the other concerns that I will mention.

Sugar. We all know too much sugar is not good for us. Soda has a bunch. People say it causes tooth decay but as long as you brush your teeth that simply is a stupid concern. It does add calories and weight too which may then cause diabetes.

Caffeine. Caffeine is a stimulant and helps transport some nutrients around the body. However it takes more water to process than a caffeinated drink contains so it dehydrates. Caffine will also deplete our bodie of calcium and B vitamins. But again in moderation in addition to getting proper nutrition this isn't an issue either. Just stay below 300mg of caffeine intake a day and you will avoid more serious caffeine related problems.

Coloring: The dark sodas use coloring that can reak a little havok on us. It is especially hard on our kidneys. This too with just a moderate amount with plenty of regular water and proper nutrition will not do us any harm.

For the diets sodas some of the aritificial sweeteners are not very good for us. They are not too dangerous or the FDA would have them off of the market. Some other artificial ingredients can also be a problem simply becuase our bodies can handle natural ingredients better than chemicals made in labs.

Answer 5

Yes ma'am, it is.  The acid can eat a hole in the stomache lining, the phospherous leaches minerals from your bones and teeth, it bloats you and lowers your immune system.  And lets not forget about how bad all that sugar is for you.

Answer 6

yes! haha

it should be obvious.

Soda makes you look bloated and has a lot of sugar in it.

Answer 7

Yes it is bad for you because it can cause tooth decay and caffeine eliminates calcium from the body

Answer 8

Yes.

I discovered that when I drink sodas {diet}  my joints hurt a lot!

I stopped drinking sodas for 2 weeks,  and didn't have to take pain meds.

I believe that sodas cause inflammation in the joints for some people.

I still like soda,  but I only have one every other week,  I'm drinking more juices and a lot of green tea.
