Certain points you ought to recollect before you take the next sip of your favourite soft drink-

Soft drinks contain large quantities of phosphorus, which pulls out the calcium out of the bones. This leads to a very serious disease called osteoporosis.

The excess sugar in cold drinks contribute towards excess weight which in turn can cause diabetes, heart attacks, strokes, cancer, kidney stones, etc.

Caffeine, which is added to many popular drinks, is a mildly addictive, stimulant drug.

Artificial coloring in sodas can cause hives, asthma and other allergic reactions.

Dental experts continue to urge people to drink less soda pop, especially between meals, to prevent tooth decay and dental erosion.
