Soft drinks and health 

Soft drinks do not have any nutritional value (in terms of vitamins and minerals). They have higher sugar content, higher acidity, and more additives such as preservatives and colouring. Some people like to take cold soft drinks after each meal, and guess what's the impact? 

The average pH of soft drinks, e.g., coke/pepsi is pH 3.4. This acidity is strong enough to dissolve the teeth and bones! Our human body stops building bones at around the age of 30. Then it starts dissolving about 8-18% of the bones each year through the urine depending on the acidity of the food intake. All the dissolved calcium compounds accumulate in the arteries, veins, skin tissue, and organs. This affects the functioning of the kidney (kidney stones).

Our body has an optimum temperature of 37 degrees for the functioning of digestive enzymes. The temperature of cold soft drinks is much less than 37, and sometimes quite close to 0. This will lower the effectiveness of the enzymes and put stress on the digestive system, digesting less food. In fact the food gets fermented. The fermented food produces bad smelling gases, decays and forms toxins that are absorbed in the intestines, gets circulated in the blood and is delivered to the entire body. This spread of toxins can lead to the development of various diseases. 

Have you ever thought what you drink, when you drink an aerated stuff? You gulp down carbon dioxide, something that nobody in the world would advise you to do. When a broken tooth was left in a bottle of pepsi/coke, it got dissolved in 10 days time! Teeth and bones are the only human organs that stay intact for years after death. Imagine what the drink must be doing to your soft intestines and stomach lining!
