Softdrink, bad for kidneys

Is that so?! But what's the reason? Could it be due to the high sugar content in soft drinks?

hi dep drinking to much soda is not good because of the acid, and you should know that if we will going to drink soda we should drink plenty of water

I know it is not healthy to drink the soft drink. However, sometimes I can not help drinking it. Especially when it is in the hot summer, having the cool soft drink makes me feel great. Probably sometimes we shall be free and spoil ourselves as a reward. I love China

Hi, Dep1593. Welcome to myLot! Yes, I have heard about this too. It is the sugar, calories, and the caffeine that makes the soft drink bad for the kidneys. It is always best to limit your caffeine intake. I like soft drinks too, but I only drink it in moderation though. I prefer soft drinks that has no sugar and no calories in it.

yes. not the only the kidney they causing of diabetes because my doctor said to my father dont drink to much softdrink. Yes every thirst in sofdrinks, me also Im so addicted in softdrinks before but when my father got diabetes so my family have history in diabetes so in once week we can drink softdrinks. but i really like softdrinks.

And honestly, every time I drink any soft drink I feel so dehydrated and my back starts to hurt after a bit (my kidneys of course) and then I take a huge glass of water.... Sucks cuz some soft drinks taste so good... but our body's health is more important. :)

I concur..there are MANY negatives to drinking carbonated softdrinks! Just recently, the Canadian Cancer Society released a study regarding the HUGE increase in pancreatic Cancer. I read the article, and can find it for you...but basically what it said is the chemicals used for the carbonization, are destroying all of our SOLID organs, which are Kidneys, Liver, Pancreas and Spleen! Just two normal cans a day, increased the risk..tenfold! In the past few generations, as Carbonated Softdrinks have become the norm, rather than the treat(as a child..I had one, maybe every 5-6 months)pancreatic cancer is on the huge upswing. It saddens me..as these drinks are addictive, and there are so many more healthy drinks. I would caution you, do some serious research, as there are so many chemicals one is exposed to today..WHY choose to add another!

Try to minimize Dep coz too much is bad. Softdrink I think can increase your sugar count that tend to diabetes which destroyed not only your kidneys but all your internal organs and so as your sight and mind.

I knew for a long long time ago that soft drinks are not good for our healthy. it because they contains soda and too much sugar sometimes. fortunately I don't enjoy soft drinks at all because I think the taste is not delicious. it doesn't relief my thirst. I prefer plain water to any kinds of soft drinks. water is much fresher and it could relief my thirst perfectly. and the most important is that water is very HEALTHY..!

I am sure it is right because of the artificial coloring. Our kidneys are just like the filters. it will hurt very much because of those coloring. From my understanding, natural coloring will not be a problem to our kidneys. In the past, one of my relatives was drinking pop or carbonate drink as normal water. Just after few months, this young man's kidneys were having problem seriously. He was lucky to be recovered after resting at home and eating the herbal for a year plus.

I love drinking soda too but I know they are very very very bad for you. If I have a craving for soda then I just go and make me some carbonated drinks. We have this machine that turns fruit juices to carbonated drinks.

hi Dep1593 that true cause softdrink contain something that can harm our lever. better if you leave it and start to drink other that good for your health.

There are several people who love drinking carbonated drinks.Colas are damaging to the kidneys because it's acidic and contains toxic chemicals.Kidneys and liver are two organs which is responsible for filtering our blood,and getting rid of toxic products.In addition carbonated drinks also cause dimineralization of our bones because of it's phosphuric acid content,which release calcium in our blood,causing kidney stones and in advance cases kidney failure.

Yup, I already heard about it. And seeing the ingredients of soft drinks.. oh wow, so much ingredients that is harm for health if we are consuming it frequently! I like to drink soft drinks. But Thank God, I am not so addicted with that. I prefer mineral water now..

I think anything taken excessively will harm the body and cause damages. Softdrinks will hurt the pancreas, and eventually lead to diabetes. I think there is nothing wrong with softdrinks, as long as one does not drink excessively.

Hi Dep1593. That's true. I've been know it for long time. Luckily I'm not into this type of drink and it get worst as my I grown old I dislike it more. I don't know why I'm not into this type of drink. Some of them I feel it's too sweet. Then I hate its taste (the water used which mixed with bicarbonate). It's the colouring and the bicarbonate that makes kidney damage. I have told this to my friends, but none of them care of it.
