Nothing can quench thirst while tasting delicious like a glass of juice, cola, or sweet tea. Drinking sugary beverages taste great in the moment but hide loads of danger under their unassuming surface. Even beverages that get marketed as “healthy” can present some pretty insidious side effects if you don’t drink them in moderation. While these novelties can brighten our day, they can wreak havoc on our bodies.

While an occasional soda or juice probably won’t hurt your general health, having one too many energy drinks or sodas can cause a wide variety of consequences that you don’t want in your life.
