What are the dangers of Coke

Many people like to drink Coke after exercise. Although it gives them a temporary sense of pleasure, it causes great harm to the body. In fact, many people don’t understand what will happen if they drink Coke frequently. There are many disadvantages and harms of drinking Coke frequently. It is very addictive and can have a great impact on your health. This article summarizes the dangers of drinking cola and some ideas.

Drinking cola can easily lead to low blood potassium, which can make the body weak and may also cause various dental diseases, bone softening, and so on. It can be seen that drinking cola frequently is very harmful to your health. Now let me show you in detail the disadvantages of drinking Coke.

1. Coca-cola can induce high blood pressure. After research, it was found that the rate of hypertension in women who drank more than 3 cups of coffee a day was 7%-12% lower than those who drank less than 3 cups a day or did not drink coffee at all. However, the rate of high blood pressure for people who drink more than 4 cans of cola a day is 28%-44% higher than that of those who drink less or no cola.

The harm of drinking Coke does not depend on the type of Coke you drink. Even if you drink low-sugar Coke, it will increase the risk of high blood pressure, but the chance is slightly lower. This shows that caffeine does not cause high blood pressure, but some chemicals in cola, such as sodium, can increase blood pressure.

2. Drinking cola can be addictive. Coca-cola contains caffeine, which is addictive if you drink it for a long time.

3. Coca-cola can cause reproductive problems. Coke's plastic bottles may contain bisphenol A. This substance can disrupt the endocrine system, causing precocious puberty and reproductive abnormalities.

4. Drinking too much cola will damage your teeth. Coke also contains caffeine, which has a decalcifying effect. Therefore, if you drink Coke for a long time, it will cause certain damage to your teeth. Because cola contains carbonic acid formed when phosphoric acid and carbon dioxide dissolve, it has a certain corrosive effect on tooth enamel.

5. Coke can cause obesity. There is no doubt that cola can cause weight gain, which is also one of the disadvantages of drinking cola. Because cola contains a lot of sugar, and this sugar is absorbed very quickly, which can easily lead to excessive calorie intake. If you drink it frequently, it will definitely lead to obesity. Therefore, experts recommend that ladies who want to have a slim figure must drink less cola, or not drink cola in daily life. This will play a big role in helping you maintain your figure.

6. Coca-cola can cause fetal malformation or stillbirth. Coke contains a high level of caffeine, which can be harmful to the brain, heart and other organs of the fetus. It can also cause deformities or congenital diseases in the fetus. Experts warn that pregnant women should resolutely resist drinking cola to avoid causing fetal stillbirth.

7. Coca-cola can cause osteoporosis. People who love to drink cola are five times more likely to suffer a fracture than those who do not drink soda. The phosphoric acid in cola may be the reason for the increased fracture rate, because large amounts of phosphorus can affect the body's absorption of calcium. The caffeine contained in cola also has a decalcifying effect. A study by a university in the United States found that if women drink cola for a long time, it will reduce bone density and increase the risk of osteoporosis.

8. Coke can dissolve nails. Someone once did an experiment in which an iron nail was put into Coke, and the nail actually gradually dissolved. The phosphoric acid in cola is a strong acid and still has a certain acidity even after dilution. Although cola will not dissolve our stomach, it will still put a certain burden on the stomach. People with gastric ulcers should not drink it.

9. Drinking too much cola can easily lead to esophageal cancer. Indian medical scientists have found that people who consume a lot of carbonated drinks such as cola have a relatively high incidence of esophageal cancer. Researchers speculate that the pressure of carbon dioxide may cause gastric acid to reflux into the esophagus, thereby irritating the esophagus and inducing esophageal cancer, but there is currently insufficient research evidence to support this explanation. However, it is certain that people with digestive tract diseases and gastrointestinal dysfunction should strictly control carbonated drinks.

10. Coca-cola can cause asthma. The preservative sodium benzoate in cola can cause rashes, asthma and other reactions in some people.

11. Coca-cola can cause kidney stones. The high amount of phosphoric acid in cola may cause kidney stones. Obese men are at greater risk of kidney stones.

The editor needs to remind everyone that the sugar and caffeine in cola are the causes of hypokalemia. People who drink cola regularly can recover quickly and completely after stopping drinking cola and supplementing with potassium supplements. In daily life, we should not rely too much on such a beverage. To ensure our physical and mental health, it is better to drink more milk.
