If you mean soda pop, well, it's just empty calories!. If you get diet pop, then the calories aren't there, but they replace it with a billion chemicals that aren't good for you either!. It's just not healthy!. Your body is 70% water, give it what it needs!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Soft drinks aren't allowed in a diet because they are considered a dessert!. They have lots of sugar or artificial sweeteners in them that just leave you wanting more!. Plus with all the carbonation it actually makes you bloated, and you don't really lose the weight that you want; unlike water witch makes you feel full and flushes right out of your system later!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Soft drinks contain sugar which in no way help in a diet food!. It is better to conume pure water than any drink!.

William Frazier, M!.P!.H!., N!.C!. says in his ariticle

WHY I DON'T DRINK SOFT DRINKS
(AND WISH YOU DIDN'T)

All kinds of soft drinks are very acidic, especially colas!. In order to neutralize a glass of cola, it takes 32 glasses of high ph alkaline water!." It is well known by the medical profession that disease loves acid!. In fact, a physician from Loma Linda University said in a speech that if we could get our cells to maintain a normal ph (slightly alkaline), cancer could not grow in our bodies!."

A three year study of over 1,000 men with a history of kidney stones showed: "There was a clear-cut difference in the group's experiences, with much less renal colic in the men who had avoided soft drinks!. Of those who continued to use soft drinks, there was also a big difference in outcome depending upon the nature of the soft drink consumed!. Soft drinks acidified with phosphoric acid were the worst offenders!. Colas of all kinds, of course, are well known for their high phosphoric acid content!."

Soft drinks, including the cola and pepper-type drinks that have caffeine in them, are the number one beverage of Americans today, with coffee second!. Caffeine is a drug and it acts as a stimulant to the central nervous system!. "In the amounts presently being consumed, it can cause insomnia, nervousness, irritability, anxiety and disturbances in the heart rate and rhythm!. Cola and pepper-type drinks account for 80-90 percent of the caffeine added to foods today!. Its long term effects on people are not clearly known!."

"The bubbles and fizz in soft drinks can potently burn human insides; this is caused by the phosphoric acid and carbon dioxide!. The phosphorus in the acid upsets the body's calcium-phosphorus ratio and dissolves calcium out of the bones!. This can eventually result in osteoporosis, a weakening of the skeletal structure, which can make one susceptible to broken bones!. Also, the phosphorus fights with the hydrochloric acid in human stomachs and renders it ineffective!. This promotes indigestion, bloating and gassiness in many individuals!. Carbon dioxide is a waste product exhaled by humans, but they ingest it when they drink cola drinks!."

Soft drinks use predominately three types of sweeteners - saccharin or aspartame in the diet type and sugar, cane syrup or corn syrup in the regular drinks!. "These substances enhance taste appeal and come touted as "refreshing" and "high energy"!. The truth is that saccharin has been shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals and Nutra-sweet and Equal are linked to convulsions, depression, insomnia, irritability, weakness, dizziness, migraine headaches, mood changes and mental retardationWww@Answer-Health@Com

Soft drinks are low in nutrients and high in empty calories- something that is not beneficial when trying to lead a healthy lifestyle!. If you consume one soda, that has the same amount of calories as approximately 2 cups of blueberries, 2 apples, 6 or 7 dates, 2 grapefruit, 3 cups of melon, 1 1/2 bananas, etc!. It is much wiser to utilize your calories wisely instead of cashing them all in for a couple of sodas!. You could replace those sodas with healthy fruits and vegetables and your body would benefit not only from the nutrients, but you don't get the caffeine, sugar, etc!. that you do from soda!. Of course most things in moderation are fine, but if you only have 2 sodas a day, that's about 1/10 of your total calorie intake if you consume 2,000 calories!.

As a side note- 100% juice is NOT always fine!. If you look at a juice label, you do not see any vitamins and minerals, nor do you see fiber, protein, etc!. Most juices are made from just that- the juice!. They do not contain the pulp of the fruit which is the part that contains most of the nutrients!. Juices should be consumed in moderation as well unless you do your own juicing at home using whole fresh fruit and vegetables!.,Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you continue exercising and eating healthy I don't see why you shouldn't be able to enjoy a tasty beverage!. If you are on a diet for medical reasons ask a physician first!. They aren't allowed in diets because of the high sugar content and high calorie count!. Go ahead and drink one, but remember to keep exercising!. :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
