A lot of sugar = bad for your teeth
Caffeine = can make you jittery
phosphoric acid = can damage stomach lining and teeth

Anything is fine in moderation though.
At least it no longer has cocaine in it like it originally did.Health Question & Answer

Like you said in your answer, moderation is the key. Drinking a soda once in a while is not bad for your health if you are a healthy person. However, if you have issues with your health such as diabetes or rampant tooth decay then soda is not a good choice for a beverage. Health Question & Answer

Cokes and Pepsi's are healthy only if you don't drink them alot. They have less cholesterol and all but they lots of acids in them. I myself are addicted to soda but I don't drink alot of them! They are healthy unless you drink alot! Health Question & Answer

sodas are not healthy for you. They contain lots of sugars and carbohydrates. Now if you have a coke a day, thats not bad but if you have 5 cokes a day, thats way too much sugar and your body doesn't need all that fat.Health Question & Answer

You are fine as long as you don't abuse it. Soft drinks have plenty of High Fructose Corn Syrup which is not good for you. It's better pure sugar than that. But if you drink it ones in a while you'll be fine.Health Question & Answer

Yes something in soda causes increased bone density. Plus, all of that sugar can not be good for you. One soda a day is the rule I was told. Health Question & Answer

Yes it is bad for your teeth. Coke and darker drinks stain your teeth.
