What is your biggest health risk?

[mman97]

Sugar and calories are probably the biggest if it's a non diet soda of course, so it can increase obesity risk and diabetes risk which can further increase your risk of cancer and heart disease. It's bad for your teeth, and dental problems have also even been linked to an increase in the chance of heart disease. But even if you're drinking diet, carbonated drinks are bad for your bones and can contribute to bone loss (because of the phosphoric acid and caffeine I believe, but I'm not sure of the reason). We also can't be sure about the effects artificial sweeteners may have on our bodies. Aspartame, a commonly used sweetener, for example contains methanol which actually metabolizes into what includes formaldehyde. It's a very small amount that's quickly processed and further broken down, so health risk is believed to be insignificant if not non existent. But, it makes me question if I'd want to drink it all the time lol I'm not a doctor, but I'm pretty sure what I've included here is accurate.
