Soda contains high fructose corn syrup which is absorbed directly into the body unlike sugar that has to be processed. These high sugary foods lead to obesity in children and early onset of type 2 diabetes.

It is banned from schools because of the high caffeine and sugar contained in those drinks. Alot of the hyperactivity in children is blamed on these products. They are fattening and with todays seditary society, they cause diabetes and kidney problems.
Water is a much healthier alternative and we need to teach our children at a young age that these product are unhealthy and we can reduce the cost of healthcare by providing more nutritional food and drinks in our schools, homes and workplaces.

There is absolutely no nutritional benefit from drinking soda. It is just empty calories, it gives a sugar rush and then a comedown, not sustaining energy levels for the afternoon, and it rots teeth and contributes to weight gain

"Soda pop and some other soft drinks should be eliminated from schools to help tackle the nation's obesity epidemic and pediatricians should work with their local schools to ensure that children are offered healthful alternatives, the American Academy of Pediatrics says."

because it has to much sugar, they passed a law that said if somthing had over x amount of sugar it could not be served. They think this will help with childhood obesity.

Because of the sugar and caffeine...it's not considered to be "part of a healthy diet" and is leading to childhood obesity.

Because it is bad for your bones, teeth, weight and almost all health issues. It is particularly bad for children since their bodies are still developing.

The caffeine and sugar is really not good for children or adults for that matter!
