I think it's just one of those things parents told their kids back then to scare them so they won't drink it too much.
Has nothing to do with being Japanese, everyone knows that sodas have a ton of sugar. From what I have observed, Japanese drink way more sugary sodas than Canadians anyway.. It's hard to find diet versions of most things in Japan. Hong Kong is the same way. If you want diet, you are drinking Coke Zero and that's about it. If you want a Diet Snapple or something, you have to buy something imported from USA and pay like $4 for a bottle.
