A soft drink is a drink  that typically contains carbonated water ,   a sweetener ,   and a

natural or artificial  flavoring. Nowadays soft drink become a phenomenon that is very

 popular in Indonesia, even the world. For the example soft drink brand such as Fanta is very

 popular and became a widely consumed beverage. The taste of Fanta is easily accepted and it

available in many varians, including cans and plastic bottles. eside that, Fanta can be served

cold,at room temperature, even over ice cubes.

This is what makes this drink !uickly favored by the Indonesian people and communities

worldwide. "n the other side actually this drink is very unhealthy because it contains many

chemical compounds which is can cause some health problems if we consume it continously.

Fanta contains carbonated water,sugar,acidity regulator #citric acid$, preservative

#sodium ben%oate$,artificial flavoring,and dye #karmoisin &I '()*+, yellow F&F &I '-$.

&itric acid serves to add freshness and

!uality of the soft drink. ut base on the

result of recent studies on the effects of 

soft drink published by the Academy of 

/eneral 0entistry #A/0$, the content of 

the citric acid and sugar inside soft drink 

has the potential to cause dental caries

and erosion of enamel. 0ental caries is

an infectious disease which damages the

structures of teeth. Furthermore soft drink can cause dehydration, this happens because to

 process the sugar inside soft drink our body re!uires a lot of water. eside dehydration, sugar 

content inside soft drink can increases risk of diabetes mellitus because the hormone insulin

in the body is not enough, even incapable to convert this sugar into muscle sugar # glycogen $

and as the result the blood sugar # glucose $ will rise and harm our healthy. 

"ther research

suggests that soft drinks can play a special role in weight gain. 

The human body can only

 process some glucose as energy and the leftover will be turn into fat.

1e can consume soft drink but within reasonable limits, for example we drink it twice

a month. Nevertheless, the fresh water is the best choice to drink. If you feel bored with the

taste of the fresh water, try to consume infused water. This drink is usually made by mixing

slices of fruit or vegetable, such as lemon, orange, or cucumber, into the water to give a fresh

taste without the calories, so that the risk of illness resulting from the consumption of soft

drinks can be avoided.
