Cola contains lots of sugar. So when you drink too much of it, these sugars feed the 300 different species of bacteria, living inside your mouth and form acid leading to erosion of the teeth. Not only that, but these bacteria also tend to leave behind waste in the form of plaque, which produces toxic products that enter gum tissues, causing gingivitis or bad breath. Apart from teeth and mouth the excessive intake of sugar will also cause many skin problems. Sugar can dehydrate the skin and accelerate aging making someone look, wrinkly, saggy and dull.

Not only that, but phosphoric acid already present in these drinks are known to strip bones of calcium needed to help make them strong, which over time can lead to osteoporosis, making it prone to factures and arthritis, which is inflammation and swelling of joints. And not just calcium deficiency but vitamins as well. Phosphoric acid, along with caffeine, has a diuretic effect on the body.
