Though many still drink soda despite its known risks, it remains highly addictive due to extensive advertising. Soda offers no health benefits and is primarily based on taste. Both regular and diet sodas can be harmful, with cola-based drinks being the most addictive.
Here are some key health risks:
Weak Bones: Phosphoric acid in soda hinders calcium absorption, increasing osteoporosis risk.
Obesity: Soda consumption, even diet versions, is linked to weight gain and increased waist size.
Diabetes: Sugary drinks increase the risk of type 2 diabetes by raising glucose levels and insulin resistance.
Heart Attack: Daily consumption of sugary drinks raises the risk of heart attack by 20%.
Cavities: High sugar content leads to tooth decay.
Kidney Stones: Soft drinks contain oxalate, which can contribute to kidney stones.
Insomnia: Caffeine and stimulants in soda disrupt sleep.
Gastritis: Acidic soda can cause digestive issues like gastritis.
