Harmful effects of consuming too much acid :
As soda pop becomes the beverage of choice among the nation's youth, and as soda marketers focus on brand-building among ever-younger consumers, we are all faced with nagging questions:
How healthful are these drinks, which provide a lot of sugars, calories and caffeine but no significant nutritional value? And what happens if you drink a lot of them at a very young age?
Soda pop and obesity in youth
One recent independent peer-reviewed study demonstrates a strong link between soda pop consumption and childhood obesity(1).
Explanations of the mechanism through which soda pop may lead to obesity have not been proven yet, although the evidence for them is strong.
Many people have long assumed that soda, high in sugar and calories and low in nutrients, can make children fat.
Soda pop and tooth decay
Tooth decay is one detrimental health effect of soda pop which even the soft drink industry admits to. In a carefully worded statement, the National Soft Drink Association claims that "there is no scientific evidence that consumption of sugars in soft drinks per se has any negative effect other than dental caries."
Soda pop and bone weakening
The active ingredient in most soda pop is phosphoric acid. The pH of most soda pop is 2.8, which is very acidic. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase in osteoporosis.
