Why do we eat junk food? We eat it because it tastes good and it looks good, am I right? It can’t be harmful to you, can it? Yes it is very harmful to you just like cigarette. It can make you obese and you do not want that! Let me tell you why.

Some of you don’t know what junk foods are. An example would be sugary sodas or donuts.

High fructose corn syrup or sucrose are crazy overwhelmingly the major ingredients added to a one 600 ml bottle of Coca Cola contains an approximate equivalent of 15 teaspoons of sugar. So you would vomit after you drank it, however, the phosphoric acid takes the flavor of the sugar out of the coke. If you still want a coke watch this video.
