I think people are aware they just dont care lol. I only have diet coke/pepsi a couple of times a week and I am still alive lol. It is like any food/drink which is bad for you, a little will not harm you.

Hello boomima and welcome to myLot. Most all soft drinks are unhealthy if consumed all the time. one serving of soda is one cup or 8 0z. Most container hold any where from 12 to 32 oz. sodas and especially coke contains a lot of sugar and or corn syrup. It has been found that sugar is addictive. In my opinion it is a big contributing factor to the obesity here in the United States because so many people consume it all day. That much sugar will lower the immune system to levels that you can more easily catch colds and the flu. It lowers the immune system for about 24 hours. If your going to drink it do it like every thing else do it in moderation. My self I prefer to drink Pepsi once in awhile. Pepsi has the same problems. The health community says that if one consumes a lot of sodas and take it out of the diet one can lose up to 5 lbs. in one year. I hope this helps with your decision.

Hi Boomoma,Coca cola is not a healthy drinks,because it can cause Diabetes. People used to drink coca cola, in parties or any occasions.Most of the time we used to it as a family beverages. Any way,as long as we drinks only a little amount will be okay.Too much soft drinks can cause also urinary tract infections,or kidney diseases.Have a nice day!

Hi,Coca-cola, pepsi etc are different in different countries,some rules they have to follow about how much acidity bla bla to add in it,Some countries have strict rules but asian countries are quite liberal about this, I think thats why they add more of it,But it is very famous drink & people are almost addicted to it,So we can't just stop drinking it but should reduce to take them.
