In

this

day and age, more and more contemporary attention has been placed on the issue that sugar-based beverages consumption is increasing.

drinks

are appropriate to inhabitants’ taste especially children and youngsters since they taste delicious and people can drink those whenever they want

instead

drinks

companies have invested in many advertisements which have no scene of consequences of consuming those

drinks

drinks

produced, and consumers would choose others especially water which is much cheaper and better for their health.

drinks

such

drinks

as much as they can.

drinks

impact negatively the body to raise more attention of people. In conclusion, despite the rise of sugar-based

drinks
