The soft drinks which are also known as Aerated Drinks are very popular throughout the World as they are available in abundance because many reputed International Companies are manufacturing and marketing it!
Yes, I understand that they taste good, they give instant energy, they are easy to procure at an affordable price internationally and they are the statement of style!
But then I am afraid if you know if they are responsible for your Obesity, for your Dental Problems, Creating deficiency of Potassium in your blood, Creating problems pertaining to your bones, Causing Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver and For formation of Kidney stones?
Here I have not added the common problem of inclusions of pesticides in them!
Despite all these negative effects no one pays any attention and keeps on consuming them as the Companies producing these product spend millions of Dollars to promote them.
Think coolly, if what you are doing is right or wrong for our well being!
I never had any affinity for these soft drinks right from my childhood and as a grown up man I never liked to have any and I always have been discouraged people to stay away from these drinks!
Please may I know your opinion about these soft drinks? Thanks!

I drank a lot of them when I was young and later I got very sick and read about how unhealthy they are. Now, I drink mostly water.

I am also not fond of this soft drinks. Thankfully schools are making the children aware about it and my elder son stopped drinking soft drinks once he completed the awareness programm in school 2 years before when he was in 9th standard. I think we have to spread awareness among the youngsters.
The main problem is, even if all of us aware about the bad effects, we least bothered and continue to consume the same.

Nice to know that you elder son learnt the lesson and i am sure he is going to spread this message to his near and dear ones as when it is possible for him!
Yes despite knowing the harm effects we don't pay any attention that may be just because of negligence! Thanks dear @Sreekala!

@ridingbet, Carbonated drinks hardly quench the thirst, instead they do the things worst! This is my first hand experience where I had tough time in getting water when I was thirsty while I was cycling near by a sea...so I had to drink Carbonated drinks to hydrate myself...which almost drained me out....I could only recoup myself after having lot of plain water and that too took me some hours to be normal. At that time I was just 22 or 23 years old! Please don't be under wrong impression that you can quench your thirst with carbonated drinks ! Thanks!

It happens dear @ridingbet ..I would say it is not because of hard headed attitude but it is the take it easy attitude because of which we tend to take the things lightly! Thanks!

@AKRao24 yes i know that. i am a health care provider so i somehow know those things. it is just my perception about thirst-quenchers, and i may be hard-headed at times. actually soda drinks are not allowed to me but only water. coffee should be restricted, but i still drink coffee every morning.

I have decided last year that I would avoid occasional drinking of soft drinks. It's actually hard to dump when drinking too much of that and too much sugar. So far I've succeeded doing just that.

Yes, everything takes time and at least you have the idea of quitting the soft drinks in your agenda! Thanks dear friend @Letranknight2015!

Yes, the source is local water! Most of the companies they send concentrates to various bottling plants where they are mixed in a proper proportion to get the drink...some times the quality control fails and we get residual insecticides in these drinks! There have been few cases in India! Thanks!

It is an occasional if not rare beverage choice as you might already know in Indian households. We prefer water, tea or even coffee.

I love soft drinks but rarely drink them as they are bad for the health.
