No soft drinks are very harmfull.
A common problem that is associated with consumption of a large number of soft drinks is the increased acid levels throughout the body. All soft drinks are very acidic, but dark colas such as Coke and Pepsi are much more acidic. William Frazier states, “in order to neutralize a glass of cola, it takes 32 glasses of high pH alkaline water.”1 Many doctors believe that there is a correlation between acids increasing the risk of disease. This is manifested in an especially painful way when one gets gastronomic distress (GI). Gastronomic distress is characterized by increased stomach acid levels. Gastronomic distress causes the inflammation of the stomach and erosion of the stomach lining. This is characterized as a painful stomachache. These symptoms are caused by caffeine and acids found in soft dinks such as: acetic, fumaric, gluconic and phosphoric acids. The combination and strength of these acids are so strong that when a drain is clogged a plumber will often use a soft drink, or if a car battery is corroding one can use a soft drink to dissolve the corrosion. The stomach maintains a very delicate acid-alkaline balance that can be set out of balance by the consumption to a large number of soft drinks, which create a constant acid state. Prolonged increased acid levels will cause erosion of the gastric lining, which is very painful and disrupts proper digestion. Also, the phosphorous that is found in the fizz and bubbles emitted from soft drinks fights with hydrochloric acid in the stomach and causes the stomach to be ineffective. When the stomach can’t digest food, the person will have indigestion, gassiness, or bloating. The carbon dioxide that is emitted in the fizz is consumed when a person drinks a soft drink. Carbon dioxide is a waste product that humans excrete and can be harmful when digested. Dr. Francisco Contraries, a cancer researcher, believes that, “cancer is like a plant cell; it can’t live in an oxygen rich environment.”1 Soft drinks deplete theamount of oxygen in the human body thus increasing the risk for cancer.

No, I do not drink a soft drink everyday. Not since I found out that soft drink's add on 15lbs especially since if you drink a can a day it add's on a lot of weight. I have tried to stay away from soft drink's. Regular or diet they both add weight. Maybe not as much for diet but still add's some weight.

Yes , actually about 4-6 /day. But they are diet. Regular soft drinks contain up to 10 teaspoons of sugar per can. And if you have not heard about the debate as to whether aspartime is safe for you, it just recently was approved for use during pregnancy. So that says it all right there!

Yes. I work in a restaurant and the drinks are free so I am either drinking Dr. Pepper or sweet tea all day long.

No. I never drink soda straight up. Too many bubbles. The only time I drink soda is when I dilute it with alcohol. So not very often.

Not any more. I stopped drinking diet soda because it really is not good at all for you. I drink lots of water now.
