USA has been facing a junk food crisis for as long as I can remember. Obesity has been a pertinent issue faced by the States.

Soda amounts to more than 25 percent of drinks consumed in the States. That is an extremely worrying statistic.

It roughly translates to the average citizen-man, woman, baby, all included- consumes at least twelve ounces of soda/sugary beverage every day. This is far from an ideal scenario.

Effects Of Soda On The Body

1. Extra Pounds

It makes us fat. This comes as no surprise. You do not have to abstain from it once and forever, but drinking in moderation is to be practiced. It may even lead to hormonal imbalances.

2. Soda damages your liver

Cirrhosis of liver is a very dangerous disease. This is akin to what alcoholism leads to. The damage of a very integral organ of your system is surely not what you’re winning to risk over a 2-pence can of slow-kill beverage.

3. Tooth Decay

The tooth enamel is severely damaged by these sugared soft drinks. Tooth decay is multiplied several times if we consume too many of these canned products. The acid quantity has detrimental effects on our enamel.

4. Kidney Stones And Chronic Kidney Disease

It manipulates our urinary tract and leads to accumulation of dirt in the kidney. This gives rise to the very painful and cumbersome, kidney-stone.

5.  Diabetes

This is a very important issue, and you don’t know when it hits. Maintaining a steady and healthy body-mass is extremely important in order to avoid blood-sugar rise.

In USA, 69 percent of us are overweight and over 35 percent of us are obese. If these trends continue, one in three Americans could have Type 2 diabetes by 2050. This regulation and study is therefore extremely important.

6.  Heartburn & Acid Reflux

The air molecules trapped in these beverages and the carbonated quality is extremely bad for our cardiovascular functioning. It can lead to your stomach being distended.
