Fizzy soft drinks contain many chemicals. One of these is citric acid - a weak acid that is naturally found in citrus fruits such as Oranges, lemons and limes. It is added to soft drinks to give a slightly sour taste, to stabilise the 'fizz' and also to serve as a preservative.

No. "Fizzy drinks" contain carbonic acid. Some soft drinks (including some that don't "fizz", like lemonade) contain other acids (for example, many contain small amounts of citric acid, and Coca-Cola contains small amounts of phosphoric acid). However, no carbonated beverage with which I am familiar uses sulfuric acid as an actual ingredient (though it may be present in trace amounts).
What are the effects of drinking fizzy drinks?
Direct causes on health are somewhat unknown and have yet to be defined. Although, fizzy drinks can make certain disorders worse. For example, people suffering from GERD (common disorder known as acid reflux) don't react well to fizzy drinks because they usually contain a lot of acid. Also, fizzy drinks contain a lot of carbonation and, therefore, usually a lot of sodium so that can cause problem in and of itself: bloating, swelling, water retention, poor circulation.
