 Dr. Hans-Peter Kubis researched the question of how the consumption of sweet carbonated liquids affects the state of our body. After reviewing the results of its work, it is highly likely that you will prefer water to other drinks. The latest scientific evidence shows that the consumption of cola drinks wreaks havoc on literally every organ in our body.
Scientists at Bangor University have found that carbonated soft drinks have a negative effect on metabolic processes, increasing the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Catherine Collin, chief dietitian at St George's Hospital in London, says consumers are unaware of the amount of sugar in soda. “When people consume these drinks, they usually don't think about calories. Meanwhile, one can contains seven to ten teaspoons of sugar. This leads to a sharp increase in blood sugar and the body increases the production of insulin to return to normal. ”The pancreas, which is responsible for the production of insulin, begins to work at an increased rate, which often leads to hormonal disruptions and diabetes.
Excessive consumption of sugary soda contributes to premature aging. Phosphate, a mineral added to drinks to enhance the flavor, can cause dry skin.
Researchers at Tufts University in the United States warn that drinking three or more cans of cola a day increases the risk of osteoporosis. Scientists believe that phosphoric acid, used in both regular and diet drinks, leads to the gradual leaching of calcium from the body, an essential element of a healthy skeletal system.
Gout, which until recently seemed to be an almost obsolete disease of overweight men in the Victorian era, is returning its positions in the modern world. One of the reasons for this phenomenon is the excessive consumption of sweet fizzy drinks. According to researchers at the University of British Columbia, 85% of men suffering from gout drink two cans of soda a day. The presence of fructose monosaccharide in these drinks leads to an increase in the level of uric acid in the blood. And the accumulation of uric acid, in turn, leads to gout.
Even one bottle of sugary drink can influence your behavior. A 2011 study of American adolescents found that youthful aggression increased by 15% with daily consumption of non-alcoholic fizzy. These data also support the relationship between poor nutrition and antisocial behavior.
The British Dental Journal warns that four bottles of sugary soda a day increases the risk of tooth enamel breakdown by a shocking 252%. Switching to the consumption of diet carbonated drinks will not be beneficial in this case. After all, it is not sugar that destroys tooth enamel, but citric acid, also contained in citrus juices.
Not only drinks high in sugar pose a health threat, but so-called "light" dietary options. Experts from the University of Miami surveyed 2,500 people and found that those of us who consume one bottle of diet soda every day are more at risk of developing cardiovascular disease than others.
It may sound like a paradox, but soft drinks have a negative effect on the lungs, contributing to diseases such as asthma.Researchers at the University of Adelaide examined more than 17,000 people and found a high incidence of asthma among those who regularly consume Coca-Cola, lemonade and flavored mineral water.
Soda causes the greatest harm to the pancreas. Two bottles of the drink a day doubles the risk of pancreatic cancer, the disease that claimed the life of legendary Apple founder Steve Jobs.
Are you shocked? However, this is not all. Eating sweet sparkling water during pregnancy increases the risk of developing preeclampsia, a condition characterized by high blood pressure and protein in the urine. Statistics show that in the UK, preeclampsia causes the death of about 1,000 premature babies a year. In expectant mothers who actively consume these drinks, the risk of this condition increases by 27%.
