Why is it bad for your back to drink soft drinks?
477332
it is bad for just about every part of your body to drink soft drinks. if you are still in your growing years (boys up to 22, girls up to 18) soft drinks can do serious long term damage. they aren't good for anyone but especially not for the young. \n\ni say it but i still drink them. however, i did not drink carbonated beverages until after i became an adult and had my only child. before that, i wouldn't risk the possible effects on myself or my child.

You have sensitive teeth and the compounds in the beverage activate the pain receptors.  It is has some thing to do with the electrolytes in the brew

Martin, this was my original answer "No soft water is not harmful but soda is the worst thing for bones.  Did you drink soda as a kid?  In the next few years everyone will hear about the devastating effects of soda on developing bones." \nBUT THANKS TO YOU I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND OUT MORE.  INDEED SOFT WATER MAY ACTUALLY BE TOO PURE AND LEACH SOME VITAL ELEMENTS ESPECIALLY CALCIUM AND MAGNESIUM FROM THE BODY.  HERE IS AN INPORTANT WEBSITE: http://watershed.net/purified.htm, \nthanks MARTIN!

if you "drink too much cola", with caffeine, you could be moderately dehydrated. That, plus eating poorly and the tiredness from caring for a new baby (by the way, congratulations!) ---to me, it adds up to a kidney infection.  Please get it checked out.

Your body needs water, and you cant get enough of it through juice and soda.. if you dont like water, if it doesnt taste good to you then it means your dehydrated..you really do need to drink water..so you can start of with like one or two glasses a day if you want..i mean you need to replase the water that your body uses through the day hun..

If you ask me, and I'm still a student in high school, kids shouldn't be allowed to purchase soda at school, especially at a young age.  Soda can make kids jittery, over-anxious, and hyper because of all of the soda in it.  Along with the sugar high comes the crash, in which kids get really cranky and tired.  Soda is bad for your teeth, as well as your nutrition, and I can't see any benefit from soda.  Water and juice taste just as good, but are better for you.

Are you putting alot of sugar in these drinks? If you aren't, get checked for Diabetes. Frequent thirst is a symptom.

I wouldn't say it destroys nutrients. But it does kind of make them run through your system instead of getting properly absorbed for use.\n\nNow, Pepsi is fine as an occasional thing. It doesn't really become a problem unless it's a regular drink instead of something else. In fact, I've used Coke Classic a number of times to settle an uneasy stomach.\n\nMake it a treat like you do other sweets, and you should be fine.

Yes, carbonated soft drinks do cause a loss of bone mass.  Also, the caffeine in the drink stimulates Osteoclasts (which breakdown bone) and thus cause a loss of bone mass.

Drink lots of Trinity Springs Mineral water. The minerals in the water such as silica will help strengthen you back bones and tissue.\nSee a physical therapist if possible, they can give you exercises to help strengthen the back muscles and reduce tension in the affected area.

no because of the effects it can do on your brain at that young age is really bad b/c ur so young and small drink can cause horible damage to your brain. but as you get older u get bigger and your organs can filter out the alcohol easier.

If you are replacing other drinks like juice and soda then you are better off.  But the best thing would be to drink plain water.\n\nI am not a big fan of artificial sweeteners I think they are hurting our bodies.

It can be if you start drinking Coke instead water. Coke also can take the calcium out of your bones, which makes them weak and easier to break.

There were tests done that say it isn't healthy and can cause a multitude of problems, but everyone has to drink their diet soda to make up for that candy bar they ate earlier... not me though, purity is my stance or at least as close as possible

Drinking is good for you as it helps digestion and recovers the loss of fluid in your body that you lose each day. Just make sure you are drinking plenty of water as opposed to flavoured drinks. Flavoured drinks are high in calories and sugar and hence increase weight. \n\nTry to avoid drinking anything that is not natural. Soft drinks have a bad impact on your body whether it is diet or not. Juices are really high in carbs and calories so unless you have one freshly made vegie juice try to avoid fruit juices. Milk drinks should be limited to one per day and skim is the preferred option. \n\nI tend to drink green tea after main meals as it is good for your metabolism and reduces feeling bloated.  \n\nOverall, if you exercise you need to replace fluid in your body so try to drink 3 litres of water.

No.  In fact, it is a good thing.\nYou will be charging your body with glucose (sugar), and likely potassium, sodium, and other essential electrolytes.  So long as you actually workout (not just prance about the gym trying to attract attention), you will be fine.\n\nThe danger is in drinking too much of these drinks...and not working out.  You will overload your body with these electrolytes and actually dehydrate yourself...and potentially cause organ damage.\n\nGood luck, and stay active!

I guess there is more than a few answers to this one so I'll give my opinion... \n\nI always heard the carbonation in the drinks caused the metabolism to slow sown, so it didn't really matter if it was soda, or carbonated water, you were supposed to avoid it during dieting.\n\nBut there are many other reasons not to drink it, one being it increases your chances of getting acid reflus, and Cancers of the esophagus, and stomach... and yet their commercials are allowed on tv and cigarette commercials aren't .. odd huh?
