1. Soft drinks contain high calories of added sugars which are in pure form. Cos they are in pure form, they are easily taken into d blood and causes d pancreas to produce more insulin than is needed or make it ineffective.

The so called diet soda which contain ASPARTAME- an artificial sweetener in place of sugar.

But recent research has showed that aspartame when taken in is broken down into phenylalanine, aspartate and then methanol. The methanol is further converted to formaldehyde, a carcinogen that causes cancer.
