Most soft drinks, particularly colas, are extremely acidic. To prevent acidic poisoning from cola (or other acid) consumption, the body uses two strategies. One is to use alkaline blood buffers (for example, sodium bicarbonate and sodium phosphate) to buffer (neutralize) the acid. The other strategy is to convert these volatile liquid acids into less-reactive solid acids. However, there were no colas thousands of years ago, so our bodies did not evolve to deal effectively with the onslaught of acids that many people consume today.
When the body's limited supply of alkaline buffers is defeated, these toxic acidic waste products accumulate in the body, causing significant health damage.

well soda is just unhealthy for you and you will gain weight. But if you work out and exercise and not drink a lot like a half a cup then your fine.

Maybe?
I byproduct of soda is carbon dioxide (our opposite of oxygen). And oxygen plays an important role in muscular contraction.
