I'm currently reading The Diet Whisperer and in it they call it Fizzy Drink Syndrome.

Too often we see obese teenagers walking along, swinging at their side, a 2-litre (c. 4 pints) plastic bottle of fizzy drink. They keep it close, to continuously fuel the fire of their sugar addiction, what we call fizzy drink syndrome (FDS). The teens don't know why they are trapped in this cycle of ever-increasing obesity. They don't need to eat any food to be trapped. They are not only trapped by increasing weight and fat but are also laying down new fat cells; something unique to children and adolescents. With repeated periodic drinking, insulin circulation is continuously high, locking the fat into the cells. Then hypos trigger more drinking. And the cycle goes on.

Even worse, the HFCS in this fizzy drink bottle directly stimulates ghrelin, our hunger hormone. The HFCS also directly inhibits our satiety hormone, leptin, and builds leptin resistance. This results in further hunger for more fizzy drinks. This is FDS and is the cycle of doom. It is refined carbohydrates addiction; it terrifies me that so many teenagers have it. Undiagnosed and untreated, it will lead to a reduced healthspan and lifespan. In other words, they'll constantly feel terrible, get horrible inflammatory diseases and die early. And remember, fruit juice does the very same thing. Fizzy drinks are more dangerous than cigarettes, and our kids can buy them with impunity. That's not liberty, it's lunacy!
