People can get very sick from drinking too much sodas or anything with lots of sugar in the drink. Many things can happen if you drink too much soda or anything with lots of sugar in it. The three most important things that can happen is Obesity, Heart Disease, Diabetes and other Heart Problems.The problem is with sugar is that if you still drink a lot it, it can cause your teeth to root and your liver can turn into a grotesque lump of scar tissue. In conclusion, sugary drinks should have a warning Label because people need to know what is about to go into there body and what might happen to them if they consume too much of the

The purpose of this test was to see if there was a presence within Powerade Zero as there was claim that there was no sugar in the drink. This experiment was conducted as Coca Cola had claimed that Powerade Zero contained no sugar. For this test to be effective a comparison was made between Powerade ion 4 and zero .It was expected that there would be no sugar within the sports drink so an experiment was conducted to test the statement.

The relationship between sugar and diabetes is quite complex. The quantity of sugar delivered into the blood stream matter more than the source. Nevertheless, many refined food items such as beverages contain free sugar which leads to a rapid rise in blood sugar levels. Many argue that sugar intake cannot directly result in diabetes. However, everyone agrees that weight gain (which may be caused by excessive sugar intake) has a direct relationship with diabetes. This was reported by a review of several studies showing a link between sugar-sweetened drinks and

In order to test the predictions of the hypotonic, hypertonic, and isotonic hypothesis for the solution  made during the study,  four samples of sucrose were taken and placed into two different beakers each containing a different concentration. Beaker 1 is  250- mL and contained 150-mL of 10% sucrose with dialysis tubing A, while beaker 2 (a large bowl) contained 1% sucrose, with dialysis tubing  B, C, and D. Tubing A contained 10-mL with 1% sucrose. Tubing B

To calculate the concentration of the sucrose and glucose after the first reaction, and the final concentration of glucose of the samples of Powerade and Gatorade, the Beer-Lambert equation was used.

Soda consumption can lead to numerous, serious health issues. It can decrease calcium absorption in the intestines. Calcium is necessary not only for keeping our bones strong, but also to help our nerves send messages to our brain and muscles contract. Less calcium can lead low bone density and fractured bones. Soda consumption can lead to health issues such as obesity and diabetes. The more soda consumed the higher insulin level. High insulin levels can result in visceral fat gain, leading to America’s major problem; obesity. 24.1% of Californians are obese and 18.4% are obese in Cupertino. Although our body needs cholesterol to function like anything, too much can be harmful. High cholesterol can clog the coronary arteries, which surround and supply the heart. The outcome of high cholesterol is heart disease. Another health issue which can occur if consumption of soda is very high is diabetes. Diabetes occurs when the body can’t produce enough insulin or can’t use the insulin the body produces properly. The higher the consumption of SSB(Sugar sweetened beverages) the higher chance of getting diabetes. Barry Popkin, a professor of nutrition at the University of North Carolina, says that "the people getting diabetes are people who consume very high levels of SSBs and have only slightly reduced in these very high levels of their soda consumption."

In the genre of the text “Eating too much sugar may be killing us”, Nanci Hellmich states such “a new study finds that added sugar increases our risk of death from heart disease.” Hellmich says sugar not only makes us fat, it may be killing us. Everyone should subjugate their unhealthy diet. She supports her claim by stating, Consuming too much added sugar in regular soda, cakes, cookies, and candy increases our risk of death from heart diseases.

It is very common for people to be obese or overweight now a days then it was before. The number of obese Americans has increased dramatically over the last 40 years (Mantel). This epidemic has led people all around the nation to find a way to reduce obesity . One of the biggest questions surrounding obesity is, why obesity been so prevalent today than it was 50 years ago. The answer? Simple, It has been shown that soda has been the great contributor to obesity by far. Back in in the 1900’s soda was seen as a luxury or a threat. In today’s age, Soda is an everyday drink. Another factor is that sizes of soda have gotten larger over the years. In the 1950s the 12-ounce can was introduced and it became widely available in 1960. Thirty years later the 20-ounce plastic bottles were seen as the regular sized bottle. Now, soda comes in plastic bottles which are available larger sizes,such as the 1.25-liter (“Sugary Drinks and Obesity Fact Sheet”). Lastly, the biggest factor of them all, the amount of sugar soda. The amount a single can of soda contains is roughly about 39 grams of sugar. Converting those grams of sugar to teaspoons, one consumes about 9.75 teaspoons per can. According to

There are many disadvantages of eating or drinking things with sugar in it. Consuming too much can sometimes lead to Type 2 Diabetes or sometimes help cancer form in organs. It also makes teeth weak. Now a days there are drinks such as Gatorade, Propel, Soda that contain added sugar in them. Also there is too much food that have added sugar in today 's world. Many people don 't see the down side of sugar. This paper will inform more people about how harmful sugar can be.

Everybody has been told soda is bad for your teeth. To test this, chalk of equal weight was put in six different types of soda and compared to the chalk in the water. The results were the Diet Mt. Dew was the worst. Although, after six days, the chalk still looked the same but weighed one gram less. On day four, the chalk soaking in the Coke was cracked, and on day five, it was covered in brown spots. In conclusion, the Diet Mt. Dew and Coke were concluded to be the worst soda for teeth.

Did you know that soft drinks that are sugar sweetened contribute to the development of diabetes? Well, drinking soda not only causes diabetes but it also causes heart disease, high cholesterol, obesity, strokes and tooth decay. High consumption of sugary drinks can obstruct with a number of neurological processes, mostly those associated with memory making and with that everyday intellectual work like memory formations and learning become much more difficult as a result. And also a research states that it can also increase people’s risk of getting chronic heart disease and an inflated risk of pulmonary complications, such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (“Effects of Soda”). Soda is consisted of high-fructose corn syrup, many different

While obesity is something that can generally be seen in physical appearance, things like brittle teeth and diabetes aren’t as easily seen, along with many other health complications. According to Kanigel, soda contains acid that causes teeth to decay. She says the acid is more damaging than “solid sugar…in candy” (P?). The acid in soda eats away at the protective outer layer of teeth, causing them to deteriorate. I can attest to this because it has happened to me, and I am still recovering from the effects. As a child, my parents did not monitor my soda intake. I did not know any better, so soda was all I drank. That eventually led to many cavities which would later lead to decaying spots on my teeth. I now have permanently sensitive teeth. It wasn’t long after the spots started showing up that I learned a hard lesson; soda was not for me. I was reluctant to drinking water due to the lack of flavor, but it is now my favorite drink. Making that choice to put down soda and pick up water was the best decision I ever made. Another negative effect of drinking soda is diabetes. The excess sugar consumed causes the bodies insulin to increase. The amount of people suffering type two diabetes has significantly increased since 1980. In the 80’s only “6.6 million” people suffered, but that number has now grown to “20.8 million” people (Kanigel P). In addition to that, women taking in “one or more sugary

Just by solely drinking soda, studies show, it is common to show signs of accelerated aging, increasing a form of obesity, and causes a discoloration in your teeth, same as tea and coffee. “Soda increases obesity risk in children. Each additional soda or other sugary drink consumed per day

Soda contains Phosphoric acid, which interferes with the bodies ability to absorb calcium and can lead to osteoporosis, cavities and bone softening. For steric acid also interact with stomach acid, slowing digestion and blocking nutrient absorption, which then leads to obesity. The xx obesity has on your body is astronomical. For example, you could have hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, sleep apnea, joint problems, cancer, stroke, liver and gallbladder disease, gynecological problems. “osteoporosis & sodas (softDrinks): phosphoric acid and other causes.” WebMD.

Sugar is a carbohydrate and used to sweeten food and drinks. Sugar Sweetened Beverages like fruit drinks, soft drinks, energy drinks, iced tea, lemonade which have added sugar sweeteners which are sucrose and high fructose corn syrup. 12oz portion of carbonated soft drink contains 35g sugar and 140kcal of energy. According guideline of World Health Organization sugar intake should be less than 10% of total energy intake per day. Added sugar sweeteners in sugar sweeten beverages are more harmful for health than natural sugar containing products. The study has spotted excess consumption of added sugar from Sugar Sweetened Beverages is major source of gaining weight in adults and children and linked with other non-communicable
