Sugary Soda Contains No Essential Nutrients — Just Sugar

Sugary soda is the single largest source of calories and added sugar. It is almost completely devoid of all essential nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Nothing but excessive amounts of extra sugar and useless calories are added to your diet by it.

Soda tends to increase your risk of disease in a dose-dependent manner. This means that the more soda you drink, the higher your risk of disease — even if you only drink small amounts. So many health organizations have published official statements encouraging consumers to consume fewer sugary drinks, and some countries have even gone so far as to impose a tax on sugary soda.
