Thirsty? Think twice before you drink. You won’t believe what it’s doing to you once it’s in your mouth and body.

Some foods are fine indoderation（适度）, but soda isn’t one of them.”You may not think a soda every day is an issue,” says researcher Frances Fleming Milici, “but just one eight- ounce soda every day increases your chances of becoming obese by 60 percent.” Another problem with soda is that it doesn’t make you feel as full as you’d be after eating the same number of calories. So you end up taking in more calories than your body needs, which leads to extra pounds.

Beverage companies deny that their drinks are to blame for obesity. They say soda can be part of a healthy lifestyle. Coca-Cola has even started an anti-obesity campaign called “Coming Together”. Our goal is to provide education and awareness about nutrition,” says Ben Sheidler, a spokesman for Coca-Cola. “Coca-Cola is committed to helping solve the obesity problem by offering more choices, no and low calorie beverage options, clearly communicating the calorie content of our products, and supporting physical activity and nutrition education programs”.

Public health experts aren’t impressed. “Coca-Cola can’t afford to ignore the problem of obesity; it would make them look bad,” says Dr.David Katz, director of the Yale University Prevention Research Center. “ but they can’t afford to go out of business either. They are looking for a way to take credit for doing good while staying focused on making money.” And what about soda companies claiming that the real culprit（罪魁祸首）behind obesity is inactivity? “Soda can pour hundreds of calories down the throat in a matter of seconds,” says Katz. “It is far easier to out-eat exercise than to out-run all those extra calories.” In fact, you’d need to walk quickly for 60 minutes to work off just one 20-ounce bottle of soda.

These widespread health concerns have had a real impact: Sales of soda in the US have gone flat among both kids and grown-ups. A recent study found that the number of kids drinking no soda at all is now more than 30 percent.
