According to the CDCTrusted Source, soda is not good for a person’s health, primarily
because of its sugar content. Too much sugar can have adverse effects on a person’s health.
According to one source, a typical 12-ounce (oz) can of soda contains 29.4 to 42 grams (g)
of sugar., which is equivalent to 7–10 teaspoons (tsp).
The CDCTrusted Source also state that consuming a lot of beverages sweetened with sugar
can lead to weight gain, having obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, non-
alcoholic liver disease, gout.
Research conducted in 2018 found that people who regularly drink soda have a greater
chance of developing type 2 diabetes than people who do not drink soda.
According to Harvard Health, people drink so much soda that it can cause weight gain. This
can occur due to a variety of reasons.
Soda does not make a person feel full in the same way that consuming the same amount of
calories from solid food would. Some people may continue eating despite consuming a high-
calorie drink.
Additionally, sweet-tasting drinks may increase the appetite for other foods that are high in
calories.
Soda can also cause tooth decay. According to the United Kingdom’s National Health Service
(NHS), sugary drinks are a leading cause of tooth decay.
When the bacteria in the mouth break down the sugar, it produces acid, which can dissolve
the surface of the tooth.
