I can personally agree 100% with your article. After much stomach problems and bloating i cut out soda drinks which was mainly coca cola and lost weight and the problems cleared up.
I have also had family members who have had kidney stones and were drinking shed loads of coca cola at the time and was pointed out by their doctors.
It's not good at all for our health asides the sugar and weight gain alone, but even possibly worse is the diet sodas with aspartame and neotame which should be banned in use for fizzy drinks.
Good informative post
