Well, not according to the study conducted by the University of Cincinnati Biology Department:

The amount of sugar found in

Diet 7-up … 0.16 tsp

Diet Pepsi … 1.96 tsp

Coke Classic … 9.15 tsp

Pepsi … 9 tsp

Mountain Dew … 10.47 tsp

Dr Pepper … 19.17 tsp

Diet Coke … 3.37 tsp

A&W Root Beer … 110.25 tsp

According to the National Soft Drink Association o USA, the average 12 ounce non-diet, carbonated soft drink is equivalent to 10 teaspoons of sugar and 150 calories. That amount of sugar can immobilize the immune system by about 33%. About 30 teaspoon can shut down the immune system for the whole day.
