They market them to children, yet soft drinks have the most sugar of all the drinks available. Most of the soft drinks nick names are soda or pop. Yet, whatever you call it, soft drinks are dangerous. Soft drinks can give you diabetes and some studies are linking them to things like cancer.
Soft drinks can be really dangerous. Some believe that people will die because of to much soda goes into your body and eats up all your insides, because of the phosphoric acid. This is rare, but why take the risk? If a drink is eating up your insides, why do people continue to drink it?
Most people who die from soda actually die because they drink it and they don't work out and they don't ever drink any thing else. This is because there is too much sugar in the soft drinks. This can lead to diabetes or to being overweight. In the long run that can mean a heart attack or other health problems.
Teenagers who drink more soda have more mental health difficulties, including hyperactivity and mental distress, according to a study recently published in the American Journal of Public Health. This concerns me, because that means sodas can effect both the mind and the body.
Despite these problems, there are many different kinds of soft drinks like Coca Cola, Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Sprite, Dr. Pepper, Orange, Ruby Red Squirt. The list could continue. These soft drinks advertise to children, in sports arenas and in movies. Yet, nobody talks about the dangers connected to drinking too much soda. Cigarrette companies can't advertise to kids and neither can alcohol companies. Yet, people sell soft drinks to kids all the time.
