First off, the carbonation in all sodas including pepsi is comprised of Carbon Dioxide, the same compound that you exhale. Putting something in your body that your body exters energy to get rid of is not a good thing. The combination of the carbonation and the acidity of pepsi can over time eat away at your stomach lining over time. Drinking soda can also inhibit your body's ability to abosrb and metabolize calcium. Another terrible ingredient in pepsi is caffeine. Caffeine acts as a stimulant by tricking your body into releasing sugar (glucose) from intercellular stores. The reason this glucose is there in the first place is because you need it for emergencies. When you are walking around the corner and someone spooks you and you experience a sudden sense of alertness and energy, that is the glucose and adrenaline from your intercellular stores. Your body only keeps a limited amount of glucose handy. The rest is converted into fat. Depleting your body of the necessary stored glucose does NOT end up burning fat, it only results in a sugar crash. I have about five other reasons why soda is bad but that's all for now
