Why is coke/pepsi bad for you?

Question

i know thers stuff in coke that isnt good for you but whats in it that isnt healthy ?

Answer 1

it gives you cellulite!

Answer 2

It is VERY high in both sugar and salt.  Also, there are chemicals added for flavoring etc., and caffeine which is bad for you, particularly in high doses.  I do know that from personal experience I gained 10 lbs in a month when the only thing I was doing differently was drinking a couple Cokes a day!  That's most likely due to the high sodium content.

Answer 3

1) Diet coke and diet pepsi, or any other diet softdrinks contain a chemical known as asapartame, which has been linked to causing brain tumours in children.

2) Non diet colas - Sugar. Way too much. Not only will it increase ur risk for diabetes but it will make you gain weight putting extra strain on your bodies daily functions.

It has carbonic acid in it which eats the enamel off your teeth.

It's full of empty-calorie sugar which does absolutely nothing for you in the way of nutrition....it just makes you fat.

Answer 12

it's not acid or sugar so it must be the water.

Answer 13

First of all, they are acidic and they erode away at your stomach. The sugar bloats your belly and there is absolutly nothing healthy about them. Their natural color is green but they are dyed black so you will like them. The dye in them will change the color of your liver to black if you drink them a lot. So try to consume 8 cups of water a day and you'll be just fine!
