Question 1

is soda unhealthy?

Accepted Answer

No healthy benefit: A little bit of soda here and there probably won't do you much harm, but the problem with most of us here in america is that we over-do it too often. Supersizes! does anyone really need a 32-oz gulper? But, i see people bring this to the doctor's office--seen 2 today! just look at how many cubes of sugar in a 32 oz cup--u now know why it is unhealthy. Live sensibly. Live long. Good luck.

Question 2

can soda hurt the baby?

Accepted Answer

Not directly: Soda is really unhealthy. It is very high in sugar which can affect you. It is very acidic (i quit when i verified that coca cola can actually rid your car battery of build up by pouring it on the battery). The diet drinks contain artificial sweeteners which have negative affects as well. It is best to not drink it. I know of no direct fetal problems at this moment. Do not give to babies /toddlers.

Question 3

how bad is soda for you?

Accepted Answer

Source of fluid: Soda is a useful source of hydration.  It is acidic and some dentists feel contributes to thinning of the enamel because of this. Soda is in fact 'empty calories' if sugared and this must be factored into your diet.  Some data suggests that soda is a factor in childhood obesity and a  precursor to lifetime obesity.  Thus the push to limit the size of drinks in some locales.

Question 4

why are sodas so unhealthy?

Sugar and CO2: Sugar causes decayn elevated blood glucose an the whole chain of metabolic dysregulation.  Then there's the change in body ph associated with carbonated beverages .  Water is much healthier.

Question 5

is soda what's making me fat?

Accepted Answer

Extra calories.: In our diets we have those unnecessary calories that just add extra weight to our bodies for no good reason.  Soda is a perfect example of this.  500 calories of soda every day would add one pound of body weight to you every week - over 50 pounds in a year of extra weight - just from soda.  Unnecessary.  Drink water.

Safe but not healthy: Soda has way too many calories and for unknown reasons diet sodas also contribute to weight associated problems.
