Thousands of people cannot imagine life without soft drinks. Besides, the usual Pepsi and Coca Cola and their derivatives consumers love Dr Pepper, Cherry Cola, Red Bull and others. These drinks are full of sugar, flavoring colour and caffeine and wreak havoc on your teeth and body. Caffeine is the main reason people get hooked on these drinks as they can build a tolerance to caffeine and need larger amounts to function each day. They also get that fizzy bite from phosphoric, citric, malic and tartaric acids, all kept combined by a controversial additive known as BVO or brominated vegetable oil which is also used as a flame retardant.
