Introduction

At Tautoro School we are doing the Water Challenge. The challenge is to switch our sugary drinks to water for 30 days! Why would anyone want to drink water for 30 days? Well, I am going to explain why sugary drinks are harmful to our health. However wins get to chose between $500.00 worth of sports equipment or $500.00 of doing up your water fountains.

Hidden acid

Firstly, sugary drinks are bad because they have hidden acid inside. Acid is really bad. Here's a fact whatever a acidic drink does to an eggshell it can do to your teeth. This happens because eggshells are similar to teeth enamel (enamel covers the outside of your tooth) Acid can actually break your enamel. This is bad; your enamel on your teeth are very important it helps and protects your teeth from the everyday chewing and biting. Acid is hidden in many drinks including Red Bull Zero. How do I know this? Well in our class we done a science experiment and it showed that Red Bull Zero is really bad.

Weight gain

Secondly, sugary drinks and diet drinks can make you obese and make you gain weight. Obesity is a really big problem. Did you know you gain weight from sugary drinks. One can of sugary drink a day can lead to 6.5kgs weight gain a year. This is a big reason why people are obese. Being overweight can lead to: heart disease, kidney disease, type two diabetes, stroke and some cancers.The reason sugary drinks cause obesity is soft drinks have a lot of calories. Did you know that children should only have 1500-2000 calories and adults should only have 2500-3000 and most people that are obese go over this limit because they drinks liters and liters of soft drinks. To add onto this they might eat big macs which have 257 calories in it. This is so outrageous. So switch to water.

Conclusion

In conclusion you should switch to water because soft drinks are really bad they can lead to early death, rotten teeth and obesity.
