Soft drinks are one of the most harmful beverages ever created. People should stop comsuming these drinks because it’s harmful to your body. Soft drinks contain caffeine, are highly acidic, and have high sugar levels.

Too, be aware that caffeine is addictive, and comsuming too much caffeine would cause further damage to the body, such as headaches, thirst, hunger, tremor, and even insomnia. Caffeine can also cause damage to body organs like, liver, kidney, stomach, respiratory system, and bone loss. Anyways, it would not cause heavy damage if you drink less than a liter per day.
Secondly, soft drinks are highly acidic. They are one of the most acidic beverages on the market. Take coke as an example, the pH of Coca-cola is between 2.0 and 3.4, which is strong enough to dissolve teeth and bones. The acid is also due to high mineral contents, which can lead to kidney stones. In many states in the US, police use coke to remove the blood after an accident. You can put a tooth or a piece of raw meat in a glass of coke, and after a few days you will see it been dissolved. Just to remind, cancers and diseases are easier to develop in acidic conditions.
