13.

 If you are drinking diet soft drink then also it has different type of side effects on our body. . Diet soda contains an artificial sweetener known as aspartame. It is used because it's about 200 times sweeter than table sugar. It does enhance the taste of the drink but it also causes numerous adverse side-effects. Common complaints include migraine, memory loss, emotional disorders, and blurred vision, ringing in the ears, heart palpitations and shortness of breath.

14. 

Diet soda soft drink contains Saccharin. Saccharin is a non-nutritive sweetener which is 300 times sweeter than sugar. It has been proven to cause bladder cancer and is banned in Canada, New Zealand and several European countries.

15. 

Drinking soft drinks after a physical workout can cause calcium and potassium loss which in turn can cause sore muscles and delayed recovery time after exercise.

16. 

Preservatives are added into soft drinks to prevent spoilage, and to prolong shelf life of soft drink. Sodium benzoate (a.k.a. benzoic acid) is present in most soft drinks. This chemical is known to cause asthma, rashes and hyperactivity. Sulphur dioxide is also used in some soft drinks to preserve the color of say, carbonated lemon juice from turning brown. This chemical is used for industrial bleaching. It is so toxic that repeated exposures to it can cause fainting spells, skin eruptions, swelling, tightening of the chest, shock, coma and even death.

17. 

Artificial colours and flavors are used in the soft drink to make them tasty. Tartrazine is an orange-yellowish drink coloring that is banned in Norway and Finland. It can cause allergic reactions like skin rashes, swelling, excessive mucus and bloodshot eyes. Carmoisine is a reddish drink coloring that is banned in the US and Canada. It can cause allergic reactions, food poisoning and even cancer. Brilliant Blue is another cancer-causing agent that is now banned in many developed countries. This chemical can cause chromosomal damage and allergic reactions.

18. 

Sodium is used in the soft drinks. Excessive consumption of inorganic sodium thickens and stiffens arteries, leading to stroke, cardiac failure, high blood pressure and many other diseases.

19. 

Energy drinks also contains caffine. Some of the side effects of energy drinks due to caffeine are: Insomnia, High Blood Pressure, Osteoporosis, Infertility, Heart Diseases, and Ulcers.

20. 

As caffeine is stacked up in the body after each intake, it also shows various side effects and complications during pregnancy. It may also cause miscarriage in pregnant women.

In every shop and every mall we can see that parents, friends offering each other soft drinks. When they offer soft drink to there friend they don’t realize that they are giving poison to there friend. They are offering him slow death through soft drinks.

So I will suggest please become a good friend and offer your friends a cup of tea, or lemon juice or orange juice or just water.
Water is the best drink.

we all know the side effects but even then most of us can't resist it specially in hot summers more so because of our taste buds, our greed and our low control

Very informative.

I am one among very few 'weird' ones as my friends put in because I don't like soft drinks. I cant take in that fizz and the awkward taste of it. Buy me a tall glass of cola and even after a couple of hours, I would have managed to have 2 sips.

Very useful piece of post. All the side-effects in one single page. I will save this link for future use.
