My cousin has a heart problem and him and his wife drink caffeine soda pop. From the time that they wake up until they go to sleep at night. I told them the reasons why it is not good for them. They did not seem to care.
There is lots of sugar in the regular soda pop. There is phosphoric acid which can lead to you having osteoporosis, bones getting soft and cavities.
Caffeine which is bad for you and leads to certain cancer, irregular heart beat and he already has a bad heart. You can develop high blood pressure and dehydration.

I've heard it's bad for you. I drink it, but not very much or very often. What I've noticed most is that when I have a bad headache, a short swig of Pepsi with a supplement that is good for headaches, gets rid of it a lot faster than if I took the supplement by itself. The caffeine in it is what helps get rid of it. One bottle of Pepsi can last me two weeks or longer.

I do drink soda once in awhile despite knowing its ill effects on our health but I try my best to avoid it.

@dwstory my son doesn't really like it that much so I'm glad we didn't introduce him to that drink when he was young.

Me too @toniganzon. I might have a couple of cans every so often but my husband drinks a few cans a day.

My family has all but stopped drinking soda because of the reasons you described. Most regular sodas have high fructose corn syrup instead of real sugar, which is bad because HFCS makes you feel more hungry. And if you think regular sodas are bad, the artificial sweetener used in diet sodas is worse. When heated it breaks down into its component chemicals, one of which is the same protein found in fire ant venom.

Yes, you're right. My body will react negatively when I drink a lot of sodas. It's not good for our health really.

I tell my husband that all the time but he doesn't care. He has had 5 heart attacks and a major heart operation with a bypass. He is the most stubborn person in the world and does not care. How do I get through a stubborn person?

The reason I do not drink soda, so does my family because of the composition. Better drink water.
