An eye-opening simulation has detailed what happens inside your body if you decide to drink some form of soda on a daily basis.

There's no doubt that fizzy drinks are tasty and can often provide a bit of a caffeine boost in the early afternoon when you're flagging at your desk shortly after lunch.

However, health experts have noted they must be enjoyed in moderation, with stats revealing that 63 percent of adults in America have at least one caffeinated soda per day.

So, what can drinking soda do to your body?

Well, as per EatingWell.com, drinking soda regularly is often associated with tooth decay and even tooth loss as Scott Cardall, D.M.D., M.S, said: "Anything really acidic and anything with a lot of sugar can cause tooth 'rot,' or decay. Soda is quite acidic and usually has high amounts of sugar, which gets turned into lactic acid by plaque and microbes in the mouth and starts to dissolve the teeth."

There's also oral hygiene to consider with Ankit Patel, D.M.D., M.S.D, stating: "Saliva plays a crucial role in oral health, as it helps to neutralize the acid in your mouth and wash away food particles and bacteria. However, drinking soda can decrease your saliva production, making it harder for your mouth to fight off harmful bacteria."

Once a soda is consumed, it's 'carbonation and liquid form' means the drink can travel down the esophagus, subsequently reaching the stomach within seconds of consumption, as per a simulation video uploaded by Dr. Boogie on TikTok.

The video went on to explain: "In the stomach, phosphoric acid and caffeine stimulate extra gastric acid production, while massive sugar causes a rapid insulin surge."

As a result of the fizz from the soda, some people may suffer from excessive bloating and burping.

Caffeine from the soda is absorbed fast through the stomach wall, before entering the bloodstream just a few minutes later.

The simulation went on to say that additional sugars and caffeine are absorbed into the bloodstream, providing an initial energy boost and a much-needed pick-me-up.

However, frequent soda drinkers will be well aware a crash out often presents itself later on in the day.

The video notes that caffeine 'triggers a short rise in heart rate and blood pressure', which is important to be mindful of.

The viral clip concludes by saying that while soda does provide a 'fast-energy boost', high intake can lead to blood sugar instability, acid reflux, bloating and excess calories.
