Nevertheless , 2 out of the 7 people answered that they drink soft drinksW 5 – 6 times a week . One of them also listed numerous “ positive ” health effects of soft drinks and did not mention any negative effects , which means that only one out of the 7 participants drinks soft drinks regularly and does not know the bad effects . But , the other respondent who drinks a lot of soft drinks listed negative health effects . If he knows that they can cause a variety of problems , then why does he still drink them ?

If I were to conduct this survey again , I would add the question “ Do you like the taste of soft drinks ?”, and I would try to survey a larger amount of people to provide more accurate results .
