What does Soda do to your body? + more videos | #aumsum #kids #science #education #children

Sodas contain high amounts of sugar. Within 20 minutes of drinking soda, the high sugar content enters our bloodstream and sends our pancreas into overdrive, thus causing it to produce a burst of insulin. However, overtime, this can lead to insulin resistance or diabetes. Also, as we drink more and more sodas, the high sugar content tricks our liver to convert this sugar into fat which gets deposited around our vital organs, thus causing them to dysfunction.

Sodas also contain various acids. These acids combined with the sugar can erode the tooth enamel, thus damaging our teeth. Phosphoric acid present in sodas is specifically believed to interrupt the process of absorption of calcium by bones, thus making them brittle. Besides this, over-consumption of sodas is also linked to kidney and heart-related diseases.
