7 Shocking Effects Of Soft Drinks

2. Premature Aging

Don’t want to look like a 40-year old when you’re only in your 20s? Then stop drinking soda!

All sodas contain a substance called phosphate or phosphoric acid. This contributes to the sharp taste in soft drinks that makes it so addicting, while also helping the drink last longer in it’s packaging. An excess consumption of phosphate has been linked to several health issues related to areas such as the heart and kidney while also causing a decrease in muscle mass, higher risk of osteoporosis, etc. All of this can lead to early aging.

Phosphate is also present in several natural foods like beans, milk, and meat, but these foods provide a lot of health benefits. Considering that soft drinks have zero benefits to provide, we do not think it is worth the risk!
