How soda affects your body

Weight 

This is the amount of sugar in a 20 ounce soda.

Drinking one soda a day equates to consuming 39 pounds of sugar per year. Regularly consuming sugary drinks interacts with the genes that affect weight. Sugar-sweetened beverages are linked to more than 150,000 obesity-related deaths a year.

Brain 

Having too much sugar in your diet reduces production of a brain chemical that helps us learn, store memories and process insulin. Consuming too much sugar also dulls the brain's mechanism for telling you to stop eating. 

Kidneys

The high levels of phosphoric acid in colas have been lined to kidney stones and other renal problems. Diet cola is increased with a two-fold risk especially when more than two servings a day are consumed. 

Digestive System

The carbonation in soft drinks can cause gas, cramping, and exacerbate the affects or irritable bowel syndrome. Caffeine can also worsen episodes of diarrhea or contribute to constipation. 

Bones

Soda consumption has been linked to osteoporosis and bone density loss, likely due to the phosphoric acid and caffeine in soda. 

Heart

Chronic diet and regular soda consumption leads to an increase risk of heart disease, including heart attack and stroke. 

Teeth 

The sugar causes tooth decay and the phosphoric acid from soda erodes the enamel of your teeth weakening the structure leading to deeper decay and tooth sensitivity.
