If you like to drink soft drink (eg. coke, cola, 7up, 100 plus, etc), if you like to eat processed food (eg. sausage, snacks, sweet, chewing gum, etc)
Your chances of getting cancers is higher, but I wont say its higher than the people that dont eat processed foods, because cancers also partly determines by individuals genes, but eating them making you more vulnerable to cancers.
Lets take a common example:
Lets see what I found on http://blog.fooducate.com/2009/06/30/11-quick-facts-about-phosphoric-acid-yes-that-chemical-in-coca-cola/
==> 6. Phosphoric acid is commonly used for rust removal.
==>8. Phosphoric acid has been linked to lower bone density in some epidemiological
studies, including a discussion in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
==> 10. Aside from the risk of osteoporosis, cola consumption has also been linked to chronic kidney disease and kidney stones.
And then from http://www.livestrong.com/article/468217-why-is-phosphoric-acid-bad-for-you/
~~>General Side Effects:
When phosphoric acid powders are inhaled or come in
contact with skin and other body tissues, it can cause
dermatitis, pain, tearing, blurred vision, difficulty swallowing
or breathing and gastrointestinal problems.
~~>Bones
A study published in the “Archives of Pediatric and
Adolescent Medicine” in 2000 found that athletic teen girls
who consume colas have five times the risk of bone
fractures as those who don’t consume cola drinks.
~~>Teeth
According to a study published in 2007 in “General
Dentistry,” phosphoric acid in soda causes tooth enamel
erosion, even at low levels.
