Soda's usually list 17-24 grams of sugar on the side of the can, the equivalent of 6-10 teaspoons of sugar in each 12 oz can. Ingesting refined sugar (white sugar) lowers your body's immunity for 4 HOURS.

Soft drinks contain a tremendous amount of PHOSPHOROUS. Large amounts of phosphorous are bad news for the body because they combine with other minerals (like Calcium) and tie them up for eventual excretion. Calcium is a mineral your body DOES NEED in large amounts in your bloodstream for daily use. If your soft drink is yanking the calcium out of your blood stream, where does the body get the calcium it needs for everyday jobs? Why, it gets it from your teeth and bones. Children should not drink soda, their bones are trying to grow and develop. For years soda was not allowed in schools until large monetary donations from soda companies in recent years started building stadiums and other facilities schools could not afford.
