8. It may lead to diabetes

If you are talking about weight gain, it has to come with diabetes. Anything that leads to weight gain increases the risk of diabetes. If you are constantly consuming extra sugar, your body would eventually find it difficult to process it.

Soda has high fructose content which gets absorbed readily and stresses the insulin producing cells more than any other food product. The high amount of sugar in Soft Drinks causes your pancreas to produce an abundance of insulin, which leads to a “sugar crash”. Chronic elevation and depletion of sugar and insulin can lead to diabetes and other imbalance related diseases. When it comes to kids, it disrupts their growth and also creates lifelong problems for them.

9. Soda can cause heartburn

It is not so surprising that highly acidic sodas can lead to heartburn.

10. Harmful Effects on Liver

You could have a liver of an alcoholic without drinking liquor. There is evidence that consumption of too many soft drinks puts you under increased risk for liver cirrhosis - similar to what chronic alcoholics have.

11. Kidney Damage & kidney stones

Drinking 2 or more colas per day is associated with increased risk of chronic kidney disease. Cola consumption results in enhanced kidney stone formation. If you're wondering exactly how soft drinks cause kidney stones, it's because of their acidity and radical mineral imbalances. Your body must buffer the acidity of soft drinks with calcium from your own bones. As this calcium is eliminated through your urine, it slowly forms kidney stones.

12. Your soda likely either contains aspartame or high fructose corn syrup

If you drink diet soda, your pop has some sort of artificial sweetener. If you drink full-calorie soda, chances are it has high fructose corn syrup. There are long debates about these ingredients and studies are not entirely conclusive, but both ingredients are artificial and are definitely not good for you.

13. Impaired Digestive System

Our stomach Is designed to resist acid related damage on its walls and can resist an acidic environment up to pH 2.0. The phosphoric acid present in soft drink reduces the efficiency of the hydrochloric acid of the stomach and affects its functions. 

When the stomach becomes ineffective, food remains undigested causing indigestion, gassiness or bloating (swelling of stomach).

14. Metabolic Syndrome Risk Factor

Drinking soft drink on a regular basis develops a significant risk factor for development of metabolic syndrome, a combination of symptoms such as high blood pressure, obesity, high cholesterol, and insulin resistance.
