All in all, soft drinks do not give any beneficial properties to the human body. What they basically are is carbonated [fizzy] drinks with sugar and food coloring (?). Yes, they may quench your thirst, but if anything, excessive consumption can lead to dietary complications such as an increase in sugar levels which can result in an increase in weight and etc. So yes, in copius amounts they are potentially bad for your well being and also detrimental to your teeth.

== == There's nothing wrong with carbonated OR flavored water. Sure, there are some artificial flavors and stuff in most of them, and obviously its not as good for you as regular water, but there's no problem with adding a little PIZAZZ to your water.

In the early 1990s, Harvard researchers reported study results showing that teenage girls who consumed a lot of cola tended to have more broken bones. In 2003, a study of soft drink (not just cola) consumption among teenagers in Northern Ireland linked high intake to lower bone mineral density among the girls and boys.

The explanation for lesser bone density is that carbonated drinks are acidic in nature because of the presence of carbonic acid and phosphoric acid. When these acids reach the stomach they irritate the inner lining. Stomach secretes a natural antacid in the body which is calcium. This calcium it obtains from the blood flowing through the blood vessels around the stomach. Blood in turn gets it from bones. Thus more the consumption of carbonated beverages, more the usage of calcium by the stomach and thus more the amount of calcium absorbed by blood from the bones. In long run this leads to deficiency of calcium in the bones causing them loose their density and become brittle.

Also most carbonated beverage brands contain caffeine, which increases the excretion of calcium by the kidneys, leaving less to be incorporated into bones. Colas also contain phosphoric acid, which may lower blood levels of calcium by interfering with normal metabolism of the mineral.

But there's no evidence that bones are adversely affected by carbonation itself - the carbon dioxide bubbles in soft drinks, seltzer, and mineral water. In fact, you might get some health benefits by drinking more mineral water, which comes out of the ground naturally carbonated. Some varieties contain magnesium. A Swedish study published in 2005 concluded that high magnesium intake reduces colorectal cancer risk in women and men. Other research hints at cardiovascular benefits.

In the sense that nothing can be absolutely pure... maybe.In the sense that it's a significant and deliberately included ingredient, no.
