Hey bro heres one for you. Carbonated drinks are the single biggest source of refined sugars in the American diet. According to dietary surveys, soda pop provides the average American with seven teaspoons of sugar per day, out of a total of 20 teaspoons. Lots of soda pop means lots of sugar means lots of calories. Soft drinks are the fifth largest source of calories for adults. They provide 5.6% of all the calories that Americans consume.In fact, soft drinks pose health risks both because of what they contain (for example, sugar and various additives) and what they replace in the diet (beverages and foods that provide vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. Numerous factors - from lack of exercise to eating too many calories to genetics - contribute to obesity. Soda pop adds unnecessary, non-nutritious calories to the diet, though it has not been possible to prove that it (or any other individual food) is responsible for the excess calories that lead to obesity. However, one recent study found that soft drinks provide more calories to overweight adults than to other adults. The National Institutes of Health recommends that people who are trying to lose or control their weight should drink water instead of soft drinks with sugar.
Refined sugar is one of several important factors that promote tooth decay (dental caries). Regular soft drinks promote decay because they bathe the teeth of frequent consumers in sugar-water for long periods of time during the day. An analysis of data found a strong correlation between the frequency of between-meal consumption of soda pop and dental caries.
Kidney (urinary) stones are one of the most painful disorders to afflict humans and one of the most common disorders of the urinary tract. According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), a unit of the National Institutes of Health, the NIDDK includes cola beverages on a list of foods that doctors may advise patients to avoid. One problem with caffeine is that it increases the excretion of calcium in urine. Drinking 12 ounces of caffeine-containing soft drink causes the loss of about 20 milligrams of calcium, or two percent of the U.S. RDA (or Daily Value). That loss, compounded by the relatively low calcium intake in girls who are heavy consumers of soda pop, may increase the risk of osteoporosis.
Hope that helps.
