Bad Effects Of Drinking Too Much Softdrinks






Getting hooked on the habit of drinking softdrinks could be really dangerous to our health. According to researchers, softdrinks contain harmful chemicals that could cause or lead to serious health problems.

The following are the harmful effects of drinking too much softdrinks:

1. Soft drinks are high in phosphorous and phosphoric acid which can:
disrupt the alkaline-acid balance of the kidneys
increase the incidence of hypertension
increase the risk of colon-rectal cancer
disturb the digestive system
cause calcium loss which increases the risk of osteoporosis.

3. They contain sugar that can:
cause tooth decay and gingivitis
harden the veins

4. Some softdrinks contain methyl or wood alcohol which can affect fetal brain development.

5. Consumption of sugar-sweetened drinks is associated with obesity in children.

6. Some soft drinks have caffeine which results in:
bad sleep
depression
more sensitivity

7. Lastly, a person who drinks too much softdrinks has a possibility to become addicted to it.

Drinking softdrinks has some advantages but anything you eat or drink in excess is harmful to your body. Moderate consumption of softdrinks is safe.

Of course drinking too much soft drinks is bad for our health. We should strive to drink fresh fruit juice instead. Thanks for the post. God bless you always.

Actually, most contain corn syrup rather than sugar. It is far more dangerous. Most people don't realize that it is an "artificial sweetner" that has additional dangers.

Thank goodness I gave up soft drinks a long time ago I had no idea they were all that bad..I just thought too much sugar thus thanks for the info.

Now I drink a few cups of coffee and lots of water and many times cider which I love (wish they'd have it all year long).
