My speech

For homework, as well as for school we have to do a persuasive speech this is mine.

Why fizzy drinks should be banned

Do you ever get thirsty and go to the shop and buy yourself a fizzy drink and are still thirsty after? That's because fizzy drinks don't quench your thirst. Hi, my name is Lola and today I'm going to be telling you why I think fizzy drinks should be banned.

Firstly fizzy drinks are bad for your teeth, they rot them and give you cavities. They give you cavities because when you drink fizzy the sugars it contains, interact with bacteria in your mouth to form acid. This acid attacks your teeth.

Secondly, fizzy drinks erode your stomach lining which means it eats away at your stomach which may cause it to bleed, make it painful and make it hard for you to eat certain foods.

Thirdly fizzy drinks can increase your risk of cancer. 1oomls of any sugary drink a person drinks a day is associated with an 18% increased risk of cancer risk although it may not sound like much but it is for those people who drink it daily.

Fourthly fizzy drinks can cause damage to your skin. In addition to all the sugar in it, the caffeine found in the fizzy can dehydrate the skin emphasizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Lastly fizzy can make us violent. A study carried out on teenagers that found a link between fizzy and violence. Researchers found that even teenagers who just drank two cans a week were more aggressive towards their friends, and those who drank five or more cans a week were also more likely to have drunk alcohol or smoked at least once in the previous month.

In conclusion, the next time you think about having a sugary fizzy drink just think is it is really worth it? Why don't you go for the healthier option a nice plain fresh drink of cold water.
