I was just wondering about what the effects of drinking too much pop can do to your body? Can it endanger you or do something to your heart like create a little hole in it?

3. Mick R Says:

   1. It’s called SODA
   2. Yes, soda has a lot of sugar in it, you can get diabetes.

   Only drink soda in moderation.

   I used to drink gallons of Coke a day and I now have diabetes. That’s one of the health risks all that sugar can bring about.

   You will gain a lot of weight from all that sugar. Even diet sodas with no sugar have been known to eat away at your bones. Excessive caffeine can hurt you heart and sleeping pattern. I like soda but it’s not healthy. Everything in moderation.

   If by pop you mean soda then no it shouldn’t kill you, but if you drink too much the carbonation from the soda will build up in your stomach and you can get fat<– lol

    it’s very much so one of the most dangerous food/drinks that are available…. so many people get fat by drinking soda regularly.

    dark soda is bad…like Coca Cola they use it to wash blood off High Ways, and a nail, put it in a bottle of dark soda wait for some days and I’ll be gone.

13. lawschool_1 Says:
    May 9th, 2010 at 2:51 am

    No I don’t think its life threatening, but it does deteriorate your teeth because of the acid in pops and increase blood sugar level which may lead to diabetes if you drink it in excessive amounts. A hole in your heart? I don’t think that’ll happen lol

14. Julie Says:
    May 9th, 2010 at 3:51 am

    I know people that have drank it all there life. Nothing ever happened to any of them… except one common thing, they all became fat. otherwise, no big. It could dehydrate you and seriously slow you down if you’re an athlete. But if you don’t care about it’s effects on your diet than you shouldn’t have much to worry about. I’ve been clean of it for almost 6 years now. Never felt better

17. God Says:
    May 9th, 2010 at 4:14 am

    well, it can cause health problems because it is so sugary and filled with so much manufactured BS so yes, it can. I knew a kid who had kidney problems because he drank insane amounts of Mountain Dew…that sounded totally like an urban legend haha but really I had economics class with him back in the day. So yeah, drink and be merry, but definitely in moderation.

18. Clae Says:

20. Minty3 Says:
    May 9th, 2010 at 6:11 am

    It’s not going to burn a hole in your heart, or anything dramatic like that. Instead, it’s a slow process of wasting away from rotting teeth, stomach ulcers, and diabetes.

21. guerrero82 Says:

    diabetes, arthritis, and weight gain. it’s something you want to limit.

    well diabetics drink diet pop so u could try that if ur worried about calories and sugar..but i do know for a fact its not good on ur stomach and too much can cause a kidney affection..i know ive had one

24. R Says:
    May 9th, 2010 at 8:27 am

    drinking a lot of pop can rot your teeth and also gives you more of a chance of developing type 2 diabetes. u would probably have to have had drunk a lot of pop to develope type 2 diabetes from just drinking too much pop.

25. Staci E Says:
    May 9th, 2010 at 9:07 am

    well, anything can be bad for you in to large of a dose. I reccomend switching to diet soda, or switching it up by drinking tea, flavored water, snapple, juice, and my favorite, those FUZE drinks or koolaid.

26. Rob Says:

    Kidney stones! My mother drinks a lot of Pepsi and didn’t consume enough water so she paid the price. Aside from that it will ruin the enamel on your teeth. You also have a higher risk for kidney disease. The second link down gives you the ten most common diseases linked to soda consumption.

30. Naughty Puppy Says:
    May 9th, 2010 at 12:13 pm

    Pop isn’t good for you in general. Sugar from regular pop (corn syrup) is horrible for your health in large doses (and even a single can contains large doses). The diet soft drinks aren’t much better as even if you ignore the artificial ingredients, the way they get to be sweet and still 0 calories is to get your body to not absorb them. This also messes with regular digestion and you’ll be weaker.

    Caffeine is also hard on a person. If you are drinking more than a can a day, you can really start to suffer the effects.

31. Gala Says:
    May 9th, 2010 at 12:30 pm

    osteoporosis, cavities and gum disease, diabetes, weight gain, ulcers, hyperacidity/acid indigestion. You need to at least alternate a can of soda with a bottle of water.

    How many are you drinking each day?

32. K Says:
    May 9th, 2010 at 1:07 pm

    you can gain a serious amount of wait and that might lead to a heart Attack or other heath problems.

    Anything can be life threatening in excess; even water (it essentially drowns you from the inside). This goes for soda as well. Also, given the acidic content in soda, it can eat away at the protective coating on your teeth called enamel (thus, a cavity). I’m sure there are many ways soda is life threatening, actually. As far as I know it can’t literally create a hole in your heart, but it can give you a heart attack (the sugar content in sodas is extremely high, which isn’t healthy for the heart and can clog arteries). Of course it can also make you obese, not a healthy thing either. As far as diet sodas are concerned, they can be just as hazardous. Artificial sweeteners have been shown to stunt growth and act as a carcinogen (a caner-causing chemical- but then again everything causes cancer these days, and I don’t think it’s scientifically proven). Hope that helped. All of these, I believe, are potentially life threatening, except perhaps the tooth thing

37. Amy Says:

    Yes, drinking regular pop can have a negative affect on your body. For example, drinking Mountain Dew can rot your teeth, and all other pops (diet or non-diet) can also kill brain cells because of the carbonation. Plus, you can gain weight. However, Diet pop is even worse for you than regular soda. And most sodas these days contain High Fructose Corn Syrup. Which is the worst possible form of sweetener. Your body does not know how to register it as sugar, so it goes directly to your thighs, stomach, face, etc. You can find it in Coke, Sprite, and most other major pop brands. I know this is a little much, but im no doctor. So I advise you to read up on the information I have given you. Hope I helped. -Amy

    you become very happy lol. j/p.

    you most likely will gain weight because of all the unnecessary calories in pop.

    also you may start to develope acne or acne will get worst.

39. formerly_bob Says:
    May 9th, 2010 at 4:43 pm

    The main effects of drinking large amounts of pop are tooth decay/gum disease and building up insulin resistance, which causes Type II diabetes. The acid in pop is not as strong as stomach acid, so it is not much of a risk unless you already have problems with indigestion or an ulcer. There is no direct effect on the heart, but it can affect the heart indirectly if the calories contribute to obesity.

40. Marina Says:

    Theeffects of drinking too much pop can lead to diabetes, weight gain, teeth problems, and much more…and yes, i you drink too much the acid from the pop can create damage to your heart and your body..

    drink juices instead of pop..or a nice glass of lemonade can be amazing..only have pop on special occasions..you have to li yourself on pop..as one said..all in moderation..

    Hope this helps!

    -It has too much sugar.
    -It will make you bloat.
    -It could rot your teeth and wear away enamel.
    -It discolors your teeth.
    -And it won’t cause a hole in your heart, but I think I know what you’re talking about. I read an article in the Week a few years ago that claimed drinking soda was no good for your esophagus. If I remember correctly, it’s because of the carbonation in the soda. When you belch because of the carbonation, you are bringing up stomach acid to your esophagus and causing damage that could create a little hole.

42. misskitty Says:

    Pop will rot your teeth, there is not any nutrition, just loads of sugar & caffeine. Over time it could cause diabetes, and maybe cancer.

43. Novella J Says:
    May 9th, 2010 at 5:48 pm

    No, but it can lead to life-threatening conditions. You could develop sugar diabetes which, if not carefully monitored,you can die from. Youcoul also rot away your teeth, leaving you prone to infections that can reach your jaw, getinto your boodstream and from there, the infecion can get to any part of yor body and kill you.

44. Joe J Says:
    May 9th, 2010 at 6:11 pm

    Look when you drink so much pop you can get heart attack or diabetes or kidney stones you can gain weight and get obese you will definatley get yellow teeth and they will start to decay…. So drinking to much pop can kill you slowly and painfully i don’t know about creating a hole in you heart…very unlikely. But over time so much pop can kill you slowly.

45. Nad _ Says:

    It is highly acidic and loaded with sugar, both which will do a number on your teeth. my teeth are permanently acid etched (they have white marks on them) from too much soda. Not to mention they are falling out of my head and I’m only 28, I’m possibly looking at dentures by 35. Not cool. The acidity will also do a number on your body, your stomach lining, and all the crap in soda puts a heavy workload on your kidneys. Too much soda ruined my teeth, weakened my stomach and probably contributed to my kidney stones as well.

    This is assuming that you are drinking regular soda with normal sugar. If you are drinking diet soda with nutrisweet, aspartame or the like, then you open up a whole new world of harm including cancer.
