periodically the party in power sponges the soft drink companies to shell out substantial sum for election funds. They never go in for an internationally authorised organization for very fication and certification of pesticides in soft drinks and ban them from the country.Soft drinks continue as normal (i suppose once the payment is made)

Pestisides? Wow, what are the Indian factories thinking when they make soft drinks? Definitely stay away from soft drinks in India unless you are ready to be 6 feet underground. High sugar content is synonymous with soft drinks...tooth decay and obesity also. Remind me not too drink anything other than mineral water when in India. Or does mineral water also come with a flavour of pesticides? Just kidding.

I know there is far too much sugars in Softdrinks.I have checked the caloric intake in a can of soda and it is like 120 empty calories most of them come fromthe sugar in the soda.

yes, i do believe, too much of it harms a lot of our body. i dont drink softdrinks, its been two years now.. what makes it harmful are the ingredients, like too much sugar, the carbonated water, we classify carbon as organic, its what we produce when chemical compounds changes to chemical composition, it also have different food colorings, plus people prefer drinking it cold and with ice which is a bad habbit, i believe constant drinking of this may harm us a lot. i hope people will appreciate the concern and makes an awareness to themselves, going back to healthier options, like choosing water instead of softdrnks, making beverages from natural ingredients such as fresh fruits and avoiding adding more sugar to coffee, tea, milk etc.. im used not to have sugar, and if neccessarily, i just put honey pure or brown sugar, i dont consider the rest artificial not natural ones. have a good day.
