Answer 3

They're bad for you. Most, if not all, carbonated beverages have a lot of sugar in it. Coca-Cola and Pepsi have about 10 tablespoons of sugar per can. And it's just empty calories. I stick to fruit juice, iced tea and water.

Answer 4

Aside from all the sugar they load into the drink, there is also the pH level to worry about. Soft drinks have a high acidity level that helps rot your teeth.

I remember hearing somewhere, a few years back, that technically, the pH of certain soft drinks (Coke, Pepsi) is high enough to be considered "a toxic, environmental hazard" should it ever spill out into the open. Yikes!

Answer 5

It's not the carbon dioxide in the drinks, though that can cause gas, it's the sugar, alcohol, and acid in the drinks that rot teeth, provide empty calories, get people drunk, rots livers and kidneys and stomachs and esophogus' And it is is also the caffeine that scientists worry that we get too much of.
And now they tell us that drinking artificially sweetened drinks makes us crave sugar more. Hmm, Don't find that to be true for me. Caffeinated, sugared soda makes me crave more caffeinated sugared soda, though.

Answer 6

umm, i never heard of that before, but maybe if a doctor or someone told you to not drink carbonated beverages, could be cause they make you burp and give you gas? that would be my guess.

Answer 7

"The carbon dioxide can get into the blood and affect the acid-alkaline balance...". Our bodies need a more alkaline ph level, and the carbon would acidify the blood. That's all I have right now, sorry it's so vague.

Answer 8

They rot teeth and make you gain weight. They contribute to diabetes along with all kinds of stuff.

The sugar industry is just as evil as the tobacco industry.

Answer 9

It eats away at the enamel on your teeth and your stomach lining. Whatever else you may be eating while you drink it, can totally eliminate any nutritional value it may have had.

Answer 10

My husband is a Doctor and we just banned them in our home along with imitation sweetners.

Carbonated drinks cause brittle bones. They seriously are bad for you. When you get old your bones will break.. NOT GOOD.

Further, artificial sweetners are killing people. VERY BAD.

Stay as natural as you can, man is poisoning us and harming our bodies with their junk products for money. You gotta stay as natural as you can. I know its hard, I'm far from perfect but you gotta try.
