If a person eats 10 mangoes in a row, he will suffer loose motions - unless he has the body of a giant. The problem with these western soft drinks is that they do not disclose all the information on the cans (especially the ingredients / formula): they are one of the biggest sources of obesity and its related problems. those containing artificial sweeteners (eg aspartame) fool your body by making you feel full (thereby taking away your appetite) and causing low blood sugar.

You have similar compounds in processed food you wouldn't imagine to have, for example, bread at ASDA [ walmart in the UK ] !!! They make most breads with "enriched" wheat flour. These are NOT natural ingredients. They are procesed chemicals not for our bodies. I say, make roti at home, whole wheat old style.
