Let’s take a look at the disadvantages of drinking Coke.

It is harmful for children to drink cola. Coke contains caffeine. One 340-gram bottle of cola-type drink contains 50 to 80 mg of caffeine. Some people have done experiments and found that if adults take more than 1 gram of caffeine orally at one time, it can cause excitement of the central nervous system, accelerated breathing, tachycardia, insomnia, dizziness, and tinnitus. Even if you take less than 1 gram at a time, you will experience poisoning symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, palpitations, and precordial pain due to irritation of the gastric mucosa. Children are more sensitive to caffeine than adults, so do not give them cola-type drinks. Young girls should be careful about osteoporosis when drinking Coke.

cc of cola contains about 35 grams of sugar, equivalent to 140

Calories, equivalent to the calories in half a bowl of rice. However, only the calories are equal but the nutrients are very different, because sugar only contains calories but no other nutrients. It is an empty calorie food or junk food with empty calories. Drinking it frequently will accumulate and cause weight gain. It is also easy to develop bad eating habits of craving for sweets, and people will only like to drink sweetened water instead of plain water. In addition, sugar also has adverse effects on dental health.

Phosphoric acid, another ingredient in carbonated drinks

Phosphoric acid can reduce the body's absorption of calcium, affecting bone growth and normal height development. Causes iron deficiency anemia. Children who are growing and developing rapidly also need enough iron to produce blood quickly. Adolescent girls, in particular, have a higher need for iron because they lose a large amount of iron during menstruation every month. Therefore, girls who like to drink carbonated drinks are more likely to suffer from iron deficiency anemia. The caffeine contained in various types of cola will stimulate the contraction of heart muscles, accelerate heartbeat and breathing; it will stimulate gastric acid secretion and damage the stomach and intestines; it has a diuretic effect and the elderly are prone to the risk of dehydration; long-term drinking will be addictive, and once you stop drinking it, you will feel unwell, listless or have a headache.
