The per capita consumption of carbonated soft drink has increased over the years especially among the pediatric population. This review attempts to give an insight of the impact of soft drinks on child's health and suggests some alternative for a healthy life style. Various research studies have shown that children consuming soft drinks have developed various acute and chronic ill effects such as nutritional deficiency, obesity, dental diseases, bone pathologies&psychological illness. As rightly said "an ounce of prevention is better than a pound cure", Government, parents, teachers, health professionals&mainly manufacturing companies should play a crucial role in solving the problems related to soft drink consumption.Keywords

Objective: The objective of the study was to know the difference in the behavioural pattern that appear with painful stimuli in term neonates and also to compare the pain response to venepuncture&heel prick for blood sampling in term neonates.
Method: 70 healthy term neonates between 37 weeks to 42 weeks of gestational age, who required blood sampling for bilirubin or blood sugar estimation within the first week of life, were selected for the study. Selected cases were equally divided into 2 groups. In group 1, blood sampling was done by venepuncture and in group 2, blood sampling was done by heel prick. The state of arousal in neonates was assessed before the procedure with prechtl and beintema score. The pain following the procedure was measured in terms of behavioural pain score. Oxygen saturation, heart rate and respiratory rate were monitored by a single observer. The data collected was statistically analyzed by using Fisher's 'Z' test.
Results: 1. The behavioural pain response scores were increased in both the groups. 2. In response to painful stimuli, there was increase in heart rate and respiratory rate and decrease in oxygen saturation in both the groups. 3. The study revealed that term neonates who underwent heel prick had higher pain score than venepuncture 4. There was no difference in pain response score between male and female babies in both the groups.
Conclusion: Pain response was more during heal prick than venepuncture. Like adults, babies do experience pain. Hence it is necessary to use analgesia during any painful procedures.
