Answer 4

From Susan Burk's article:Soda the good, the bad,& the ugly.
"Just talking about how much sugar is in a can of soda is less effective than visualizing it. For example, imagine one can, or 12 ounces of soda; it has about nine teaspoons of added sugar... about a quarter cup, and about 150 calories. The average American drinks almost two of these each day -- that’s about a half-cup of sugar.
Imagine spooning 18 teaspoons of sugar from the sugar bowl into a big glass of club soda -- add a couple of drops of food coloring -- would you drink it?
Diet sodas may be better in terms of calories and added sugar, however, the problem of nutrition remains. If you’re substituting diet soda for milk and 100 percent fruit juice in a balanced diet, then your diet will be deficient in the important nutrients these foods provide, especially calcium and vitamins C and D.
Caffeine: Many sodas contain caffeine, colas and non-colas. Caffeine is not only addictive, but can cause adverse reactions such as insomnia, irritability and racing heartbeat. Research by Johns Hopkins University examining the difference in consumption of caffeinated versus non-caffeinated sodas show that consumption is driven by the "mood-altering and physical dependence of caffeine." To avoid "withdrawal" symptoms, similar to symptoms of excess, begin by tapering down slowly, and by replacing one of your regular, caffeinated sodas with a non-caffeinated soda every day for four days, then replace that non-caffeinated soda with an equal amount of clear, pure water. For variety, try sodium-free club soda, and add a squeeze of lime and/or lemon. Eventually, you'll wean yourself off the sugary stuff, and you'll feel so much better. Avoid the "added caffeine" drinks like Coca-Cola's Surge or Pepsi's Josta. Note that clear Mountain Dew contains 55 milligrams of caffeine per 12-ounce can; Sunkist has 40, Coke, 45, Pepsi, 37. Sprite is caffeine-free.Tooth decay: The link between sugary soda and cavities is well documented. There are acids in all sodas -- both colas and non-colas -- canned ice teas, and even diet drinks can weaken and erode tooth enamel. The malic, tartaric, citric and phosphoric acids that impart familiar flavors corrode the tooth's protective enamel coating and draw calcium out of tooth enamel. Sodas and flavored teas were tougher on enamel than plain brewed tea, coffee and root beer.
Osteoporosis: Drinking soda can lead to excess consumption of phosphorus, which can lead to a depletion of bone calcium, especially worrisome to women. In a study of 460 high school girls, girls who drank the most soda had three to four times the risk of bone fracture compared to those who drank none. Physically active girls were at the higher end of the risk ratio. Women are more prone to osteoporosis and need calcium to build their bones, especially before age 25. They need to keep their bones strong after menopause, and soda displaces intake of calcium-rich milk and calcium-fortified milk substitutes... increasing the risk for broken bones.

Obesity: The British medical journal Lancet reported evidence linking soft drink consumption to childhood obesity. They found that 12-year-olds who drank soft drinks regularly were almost doubly likely to be overweight than those who didn’t. One single 12-ounce can of regular soda contains the equivalent of about nine teaspoons of sugar and about 150 calories. Just drinking one can a day equals more than a thousand excess calories per week. If you’re trying to lose weight, just cutting out the soda for three weeks will allow you to lose about one pound -- that’s almost 16 pounds in one year! Here's yet an even better reason to cut the soda, and enjoy some other nutritious beverages. "

There is much more, such a link of soda consumption and diabetes, the effect of sewwteners etc. This is why when it comes to drinking I just go for the water bottle.
