How does soda consumption affect the absorption and utilization of antioxidants in the diet?

Soda consumption can affect the absorption and utilization of antioxidants in the diet by introducing high levels of sugars and artificial additives that can increase oxidative stress. This can diminish the effectiveness of antioxidants from fruits and vegetables. Reducing soda intake and focusing on a diet rich in natural antioxidants can improve overall health and reduce oxidative damage.
