INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
Human beings require food to gro! re"roduce! and maintain good hea#th$
%ithout food! our bodies cou#d not stay arm! bui#d or re"air tissue! or maintain a
heartbeat$ &ating the right foods can he#" us a'oid certain diseases or reco'er faster hen
i##ness occurs$ These and other im"ortant functions are fue#ed by chemica# substances in
our food ca##ed nutrients$
(any academic studies ha'e shon that there is nothing about carbonated
be'erages or soda$ Carbonated be'erages are e##)knon! readi#y a'ai#ab#e and marketed
e*tensi'e#y! es"ecia##y to ado#escents$ Carbonated be'erages contain sugar! artificia#
seeteners! caffeine! "hos"horus and carbon acids hich are harmfu# effects on the body$
Scientific studies sho that carbonated be'erages consum"tion is associated ith
increased fracture risk due to reduced bone mass$ Soft drink a#so increases the incidence
of denta# caries or tooth decay and obesity es"ecia##y among ado#escents and young
adu#ts$ +hos"horus! high fructose corn syru"! caffeine! carbon acids im"air the body,s
ca"acity to absorb ca#cium$ The high #e'e#s of caffeine in the soft drinks cou#d -disru"t
s#ee" and #ead to an*iety and DN. damage and hy"eracti'ity$ The %or#d Hea#th
Organi/ation recogni/ed that consum"tion of soft drinks contributes to the groing
incidence of obesity$ &mergence e'idence a#so suggests that higher consum"tion of
sugar)seetened soft drinks may raise the risk of de'e#o"ing ty"e 0 diabetes and the
metabo#ic syndrome$ Soft drinks contain #arge amounts of sim"#e sugars! hich induce

higher g#ycemic and insu#inemic res"onses$ Soft drinks are an im"ortant source of
g#ycemic #oad in the diet! hich has been associated ith the risk of de'e#o"ing ty"e 0
diabetes and cardio'ascu#ar disease$
Coca co#a is the most "o"u#ar in the +hi#i""ines consumed 121 3)ounce ser'ings
of Coke be'erages "er ca"ita annua##y$ This is ay abo'e the g#oba# a'erage consum"tion
of the Coca co#a soft drink at 44 ser'ings$ The re"ort that Coca co#a is increasing its
in'estment in the +hi#i""ines ith an additiona# of +1 bi##ion and the "#an of the South

e*"anding for soft drinks in the country$ .#though this is great nes in terms of
in'estment but this is not a good for "ub#ic hea#th es"ecia##y for chi#dren$
The benefits of reducing soft drink consum"tion inc#ude reduced o'ereight and
obesity! reduced risk of some chronic diseases and im"ro'ed denta# hea#th$

Significance of the Study

Carbonated be'erages are energy dense foodstuffs that are hea'i#y marketed to
e'eryone$ Carbonated be'erages consum"tion is 'ery 'u#gar not ?ust in teenagers but
a#most of a## ages$
Conducting this kind of study i## aaken the res"ondents on the im"ortance of
good nutrition through a""ro"riate consum"tion of soft drinks$ This study i## a#so

carbonated be'erages are drinks that inc#ude carbon dio*ide hich are disso#'ed in ater$
The "resence of carbon dio*ide on this ty"e of drinks creates bubb#es and fi//ing in the

carbonation$ Darious reasons hy carbonated be'erages are carbonated since many
"eo"#e find the fi//y sensation to be "#easant and the #ike the s#ight#y different taste that
carbon dio*ide "ro'ides$
Cans and bott#es of soda must be ke"t under high "ressure to kee" the carbon
dio*ide disso#'ed$ The bui#d)u" of gas and the s"ray)out of the be'erage hich is cause
by shaking of the container can cause the container to e*"#ode$ The reason a#so hy

Research Design
The "ro"osed study is a quantitati'e designed to cross)sectiona# sur'ey$ It focused
on finding the re#ationshi"s beteen 'ariab#es at one moment in time$ It a#so "ro'ides a
