They market them to children, yet soft drinks have the most sugar of all the drinks available. Most of the soft drinks nick names are soda or pop. Yet, whatever you call it, soft drinks are dangerous. Soft drinks can give you diabetes and some studies are linking them to things like cancer.
Soft drinks can be really dangerous. Some believe that people will die because of to much soda goes into your body and eats up all your insides, because of the phosphoric acid. This is rare, but why take the risk? If a drink is eating up your insides, why do people continue to drink it?
Most people who die from soda actually die because they drink it and they don't work out and they don't ever drink any thing else. This is because there is too much sugar in the soft drinks. This can lead to diabetes or to being overweight. In the long run that can mean a heart attack or other health problems.
Teenagers who drink more soda have more mental health difficulties, including hyperactivity and mental distress, according to a study recently published in the American Journal of Public Health. This concerns me, because that means sodas can effect both the mind and the body.
Despite these problems, there are many different kinds of soft drinks like Coca Cola, Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Sprite, Dr. Pepper, Orange, Ruby Red Squirt. The list could continue. These soft drinks advertise to children, in sports arenas and in movies. Yet, nobody talks about the dangers connected to drinking too much soda. Cigarrette companies can't advertise to kids and neither can alcohol companies. Yet, people sell soft drinks to kids all the time.

Ya i know about the soft drink...the company sapport child laber.
Wow. Soda is really harmful. I didn't know that it could affect a persons body and mind so drasticly.
I didn't know how harmful soda can be, or other ones too. The most sad thing is that it can affect your body and mind also. Thank you for sharing that in the social voice blog, now I know more about it.
I really enjoyed this article the best part about was that he/she informed everyone about the bad side of soft drinks that everyone might be clueless about. I also liked the comparison the writer said that soda drinks are advertised to children but other types of items can't like smoking which both of them have bad effects on a person. The writer even wrote that it can also damage the brain which I didn't know.
I agree with you a hundred percent. But I also want to see have you done any things else but write this? Because your just telling us that sodas bad. And guess what. WE NOW THAT ALREADY! So and stead of informing tell us what we or you can do about it.
