Healthy diet doesnt include cold drinks. Effects of cold drinks on childrens health is adverse- elaborates Honey Khanna, expert dietician from Max Healthcare, a super specialty child care centre
Soft drinks suck for three main reasons: 1) Phosphoric Acid, which has a pH of just over 2, 2) Diet sodas have aspartame (Nutrasweet), which metabolizes into Vitamin C (not bad), methyl alcohol (causes retinal damage, blindness, and other nerve damage), and formaldehyde (which preserves animal specimens, but also causes cancer), 3) Corn Syrup (which causes inflammation and, oddly, low blood sugar). Soft drinks suck.
