Diet Soda Experiment

Soda was also found to prematurely age white blood cells due to the amounts of sugar in the drinks in a study done by the American Journal of Public Health. The impact of soda consumption on the white blood cells is similar to the damage done to the cells by someone smoking tobacco products. One 20 ounce soda each day can equal around four and a half years of extra aging to the white blood cells (Kimball 1). Even with all of the negative health effects, soda companies still spend billions of dollars trying to advertise and attract customers, without mentioning any of the risks it could potentially cause (Gale Student Resources

There is a lot of High Fructose Corn Syrup, the sugar of choice, in regular sodas. People started finding out about how bad sugar is for them and how much sugar was really in their favorite every day drink. Everyone started turning against all of the soda companies and they had no choice but to come up with an alternative. So, instead of using natural sugar or High Fructose Corn Syrup in sodas, scientists invented artificial sweeteners, a way to keep the soda sweet yet contain no sugar. Artificial sweeteners like Aspartame that are added to diet soda are actually worse for us than the sugar that is in regular soda. This was proven by an Osteopathic Physician from the American Colledge of Nutrition who states, "While many of the artificial sweeteners have reportedly similar side effects, aspartame accounts for over 75 percent of the adverse reactions to food additives reported to the FDA" (Mercola).

Mentos and soda reaction has been a fun experiment done by people across the world.

Therefore, aspartame (APM) in diet soda can lead to cancer and the risk of developing carcinogenic effects increase in those who have a life span exposure to APM.

According to the article of “Sugary Drinks”. New York City’s Board of Health passed a rule of banning super sized sodas in restaurants. This proves that they care about other people health besides themselves. This problem is that New York City’s Board might see or hear about people that are overweight, sickly , and might dissolve your teeth.

The purpose of this study is to provide additional information on a topic that should be of great importance to the public. Everyone should be informed of preventable factors that can be linked to an increased risk of cancer. This study will explore the correlation between dietary sugar intake with risk for cancer. Many experts argue over the relation of sugar and cancer, and very little research has been done on the topic. The University of Texas: MD Anderson Cancer Center associates obesity, a result of high sugar diets, to be the actual correlating variable between cancer and sugar (Espat, 2015). However, the Osher Center for Integrative Medicine (Osher Center for Integrative Medicine, 2012) reports that elevated blood sugar levels lead to mutations in DNA, which

Aspartame in soda is considered safe as a diet drink according to the European Food Safety Authority. The review done by this agency confirms the safety of using aspartame sweetener in soda without any potential risk of cancer or damage to genes. It ensures its safety if consumed in the adequate levels of a diet drink. The safety concerns about aspartame in soda had led a fall in the sales of diet drink due to the presence of artificial sweetener that might cause side

The typical first grade classroom is an atmosphere filled with some children that are a more active than others. These children are the bunch that cannot sit still, are louder, and more disruptive. Meanwhile the other children are fixated on schoolwork, sitting attentively and quietly. This brought along two research experiments by Dr. Madison and Dr. Johnson. In one experiment we will be exposed to a correlation in which sugar intake is mathematically proven to affect activity levels. While the other experiment shows no significant evidence that sugary snacks plague activity levels. Both however, attempt to decipher why children are more rambunctious than others and whether sugar intake influenced this behavior.

Studies done by gGoogle industries have proven shown that energy drinks are used for their athletic performance enhancing effects , improved concentration and sometimes weight loss. Most all of energy drinks contain caffeine in tremendous amounts, Aas well as gigantic amounts of sugar. Other studies have shown that energy drinks can have effects to make an athlete perform better by 2 to 9 percent and has been proven that the more caffeine the higher percentage it becomes. Studies have been conducted about levels of caffeine bodies can hold without having to much to harm youthe body. It has been proven that a 5 oz. 5 hour energy has harming levels and can make your heart ratebeat level go a lot higher than normal and this experiment has had

It is proven by many studies that products within a can of cola are related to types of diabetes, related to cancer, altering one’s appearance by skin and teeth, assisting obesity, and shows some form of a asthma and heart disease. “Soda is an addiction — similar to tobacco, alcohol, or drugs, it feels good when you consume it, but it can wreak havoc on your body long-term. As more and more research investigates the ill effects of soda on the human body (and the environment), it may be time for you to give it up, or at least reduce the amount you intake on a daily or weekly basis. The evidence speaks for itself: Your health will drastically improve once you begin replacing your daily Coke or Mountain Dew with water. Pretty much every organ will benefit from quitting soda” (Bushak). The need to be healthy, and treasure our bodies should be a number one priority in every one’s life. One way to do that is to drink healthy. Water, tea, and 100% fruit juice are all drinks that can easily help substitute the harmful products in soda cans. Losing weight, keeping clear skin and nice shiny teeth, and preventing health issues will never prove to be any simpler than

Diet soda has been speculated to increase vascular events which is why Gardener et al began a cohort study on the association between diet soda consumption and vascular events. “Another Strike against Diet Soda” summarizes the cohort study that was written by Gardener et al.

A hypothesis (literally Greek for "under proposition") is a prediction of what will happen in an experiment, essentially an educated guess. You're in chemistry, right? I hypothesize that when I drop Mentos into Diet Coke, there will be a reaction. Then, I conduct the experiment to determine whether my hypothesis is true or false. Hypothesis is like a prediction so for example if its for a science lab my hypothesis can be like this...I think the density of the egg is going to be more than the density of the 3 parts of the egg...just for example so its basically what you think is going to happen your prediction.

Drinking a lot of soda pop can affect the body in so many different ways that end up hurting your body. In Leung’s article she talks about how drinking to much pop can affect your cells as you get older (Leung, 2014). As you get older the carbonation from the pop can make the cells in the body weaker and more vulnerable to diseases or sicknesses like cancer. Because the cells are weaker, they cannot fight the diseases as well. Also, in Stanbrooks article he talks about how when people drink to much pop there sugar level is so high that they can end up with diseases like obesity (Stanbrook,2013). There are people in the Untied States who buy 24 oz - 32 oz cups of pop. That is way to much sugar for the body to handle and that is when we have

How many times are people at a restaurant and their waitresses continuously refill their glasses of soda? Soda is one of the most popular drinks that people consume on a daily basis. There are many different flavors and types. The most common types include Pepsi, Coke, and Dr. Pepper, each including diet and zero. Many people only think about the sugar correlating to caries and not the acid. Citric acid and phosphoric acid are the main acids found in soft drinks. Phosphoric acid is a corrosive acid found in many different forms. It can be found in fertilizers, soaps, dyes, polishing metals, and other food products (Singleton, 2015). Many people believe that diet soda is better for them because of less calories and sugar; however, there are many artificial sweeteners and

Summary: The University of California conducted a study in 2014 which found that those who reported more pop consumption showed increased signs of aging. At the end of each chromosome are end caps which are called telomeres which protect the DNA. As humans age these telomeres get shorter, the shortening of them has been linked to many diseases including heart disease, diabetes, and some forms of cancer. Scientists believe that drinking sugary sodas could cause the accelerating cellular aging of bodily tissues. While more research needs to be done to confirm this possible link, scientists conclude that drinking a 20 ounce soda daily could result in 4.6 years of biological aging, which is comparable to the effects of smoking. These findings are
