Sad part is that the huge consumers of these kind of soft drinks are the youth.
Even after revealing the side effects of these soft drinks, still this generation is not willing to let go of these.
Like said, good habits are easy to get lost. But bad ones are not that ease to let go. Somewhat we are addicted to these soft drinks.
Regular usage of soft drinks will badly affect our liver and it may lead to cancer.
In many areas Cola , pepsi etc.. are used as pesticides , bcoz if its availability and cheap rate. Infact it is good pesticide to kill harmful pests.
But lion share of people are using this pesticide as soft drinks.

The correct Answer:
1. It is not uncommon for soft drinks to have a mix of atleast three to six types of pesticides. These pesticides help to preserve the drinks for along time.
2. These pesticides are no doubt harmful to health. Particularly they damage kidneys, Lungs, Eyes, Teeth.
3. Pesticides used in agriculture too have the same effects. Though they control the pests on crops, the pesticides cause harmful effects to biosphere polluting total air and water. When the air is inhaled where the pesticides are used, Eyes, Lungs and Human organs get damaged.
