As the   debate for whether to put a tax on the sale of soft drinks continues,   you should know how they affect your body so that you can make an   informed choice on your own. Soft drinks are hard on your healthSoft drinks contain little to no vitamins or other essential nutrients. However, it is what they do   contain that is the problem: caffeine, carbonation, simple sugars — or   worse, sugar substitutes — and often food additives such as artificial   coloring, flavoring, and preservatives. A lot of research has  found that consumption of soft drinks in high  quantity, especially by  children, is responsible for many health  problems that include <a href="http://health.yahoo.com/oralcare-child/children-s-nutrition/agd--Oral_Care_agd_art_childnutrition.html" target="_blank">tooth decay</a>, nutritional depletion, <a href="http://health.yahoo.com/experts/healthnews/17125/are-soft-drinks-contributing-to-obesity/" target="_blank">obesity</a>, <a href="http://health.yahoo.com/tips/a-diabetes-don-t/realage--2533.html" target="_blank">type-2 diabetes</a>, and <a href="http://health.yahoo.com/tips/what-drinking-soda-says-about-your-heart/realage--18786.html" target="_blank">heart disease</a>. <a href="http://pragmaticobotsunite.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/hfcs.thumbnail1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://pragmaticobotsunite.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/hfcs.thumbnail1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>Marion NestleFood Politics: How the Food Industry Influences Nutrition and Health  (California Studies in Food and Culture): <ul style="margin-left: 20px"> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">  Soft drinks are the single greatest source of caffeine in  children’s  diets; a 12 ounce can of cola contains about 45 milligrams  but the  amounts in more potent soft drinks can exceed 100 milligrams – a  level  approaching that found in coffee.”</li> </ul> <ul style="margin-left: 20px"> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Soft drinks have replaced milk in the diets of many American  children as  well as adults.

From  1985 to  1997, school districts decreased the amounts of milk they  bought by  nearly 30? and increased their purchases of carbonated  sodas.”</li> </ul> <ul style="margin-left: 20px"> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> The relationship between soft drink consumption and body weight is  so  strong that researchers calculate that for each additional soda   consumed, the risk of  obesity increases 1.6 times.”</li> </ul> <ul style="margin-left: 20px"> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Adolescents who consume soft drinks display a risk of bone fractures three to four-fold higher than those who do not.”</li> </ul> <ul style="margin-left: 20px"> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Sugar and acid in soft drinks so easily dissolve tooth enamel.” </li> </ul> <ul style="margin-left: 20px"> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Americans drink 13.15 billion gallons of carbonated drinks every year.” </li> </ul>Think diet sodas are better?? Think again! The health effects of diet sodaYou may come to the conclusion that diet or sugar-free soda is a better choice. However, <a href="http://circ.ahajournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/CIRCULATIONAHA.107.689935v1" target="_blank">one study</a>   discovered that drinking one or more soft drinks a day — and it didn’t   matter whether it was diet or regular — led to a 30% greater chance of   weight gain around the belly.  Diet soda is filled with  artificial sweeteners such as aspartame,  sucralose, or saccharin. These  artificial sweeteners pose a threat to  your health. Saccharin, for  instance, has <a href="http://cebp.aacrjournals.org/content/18/8/2235.abstract" target="_blank">been found to be carcinogenic</a>, and <a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6WPG-4S7J59H-1&_user=10&_rdoc=1&_fmt=&_orig=search&_sort=d&_docanchor=&view=c&_searchStrId=1088763464&_rerunOrigin=google&_acct=C000050221&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=10&md5=53dd92ea181fd0144d4d87cf63b54028" target="_blank">studies</a> have found that it produced bladder cancer in rats.  Aspartame,  commonly known as nutrasweet, is a chemical that  stimulates the brain  to think the food is sweet. It breaks down into  acpartic acid,  phenylalanine, and methanol at a temperature of 86  degrees. (Remember,  your stomach is somewhere around 98 degrees.) An <a href="http://sci.tech-archive.net/Archive/sci.med.nutrition/2005-06/msg01172.html" target="_blank">article</a>   put out by the University of Texas found that aspartame has been  linked  to obesity. The process of stimulating the brain causes more  cravings  for sweets and leads to carbohydrate loading. <a href="http://pragmaticobotsunite.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/no-soda-7273001.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://pragmaticobotsunite.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/no-soda-7273001.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a></blockquote>
