Food Processing: Soft Drink Origins

  • Pop soda started being manufactured in Britain about 250 years ago, as a way to make freshwater last longer for sailors on sea voyages.
  • Water injected with carbon dioxide was marketed as medicated water that could prevent diseases like scurvy.
  • The carbonated water became a huge hit, due to its acidic taste and it not getting stale as fast as normal water.
  • It began to be sold as tonic water in the mid-19th Century and became increasingly processed.

Modern soda is high-sugar and has plenty of additives that are clearly not good for the body.
