This is actually a heating test to find

the amount of residue left in various
soft

drinks

after

heating.

This

ultimately tells us about the level of

sugar present in various soft drinks.
In the test of the sample (5 ml) of
each soft drink is taken in separate
china dishes and heated for sufficient
time to dry it out. Then the residue
left is studied.
It was observed that the maximum
amount of residue was left in the

case of Gold Spot while minimum in

Soda.

Soft drinks provide large amounts of sugars

(mostly high fructose corn syrup) to many
individuals diet. The calories of soft drinks are
likely

to

contribute

particularly

to

overweight

health

and

problems,

obesity.

conditions have become far more prevalent

drink

scientific

studies have provided experimental evidences

that soft drinks are directly related to the
weight gain. The weight gain, in term is a prime
risk factor for type 2 diabetes, which for the
first time, is becoming a problem for teens as
well as adults.

As people get older, excess

weight also contribute to heart attacks, strokes

and cancer.
Frequent consumption of soft drinks may also
increase the risk of osteoporosis especially in
people who drink soft drinks instead of calcium
rich milk. Dental experts urge the people to
drink less soda pap, especially between meals,
to prevent tooth decay (due to sugars) and
dental erosion (due to acids).
Frequent consumers of soft drinks may also be
at a higher risk of kidney stones and a slightly
higher risk of heart disease. More research is
needed in both of these areas.
Researches

around

the

world

has

thus

established beyond doubts that soft drinks

consumption is injurious to health.

CONCLUSION

In the end I would like to mention about the

important results in this interesting and
exciting project.
Most of the brands of the soft drinks are
chemically very similar except the soda
water which is actually carbonated water
and cannot be considered as soft drink.
All the brands have glucose, sucrose and
ethyl alcohol except soda. The difference
lies only in the color, name of the brands
and its flavor. This is the reason why
everyones
favorite
brand
keeps
on
changing and to satisfy the public,
companies keep changing the colors and the
flavors.
