Dear Sir,

Excess of everything is bad. Drinking lot of soda shall deplete your body of calcium and also lead to kidney stone formation.

You should refrain from excess of soda and as you yourself recognize the importance of water you should start drinking water rather than soda.

Take care

Sincerely

Rajiv Goel
