Experts believe that a common preservative in carbonated drinks will destroy some important areas of human DNA and seriously threaten human health. It is reported that this kind of harm caused by drinking carbonated drinks is generally related to aging and alcoholism, which will eventually lead to diseases such as cirrhosis and Parkinson's disease.
Diabetic patients should not drink alcohol; It is not advisable to drink carbonated drinks before and after meals; Excessive drinking is not appropriate, because excessive drinking will inhibit beneficial bacteria in the human body and destroy the function of the digestive system; Long-term drinking is easy to cause obesity and other diseases; Excessive consumption of carbonated drinks will also increase the burden on the heart and kidneys, causing symptoms such as palpitation, fatigue and frequent urination. At the same time, the digestion and sterilization ability of gastric juice will also be reduced, which is easy to cause gastrointestinal diseases.
In addition, drinking a lot will lead to osteoporosis, because most carbonated drinks contain phosphoric acid, which will greatly affect the absorption of calcium and cause abnormal loss of calcium; Carbonated drinks may increase the risk of esophageal cancer, because carbonated drinks dilate the stomach and cause food reflux that causes esophageal cancer; It is not advisable to drink too much iced drinks, otherwise it will lead to visceral dysfunction, gastrointestinal mucosal vasoconstriction, gastrointestinal spasm, decreased secretion and other pathological changes, leading to anorexia and other diseases.
I. Osteoporosis caused by phosphoric acid
Most carbonated drinks contain phosphoric acid, which will affect the absorption of calcium and cause imbalance between calcium and phosphorus. If there are not enough dairy products, it is easy to lack calcium. Lack of calcium undoubtedly means slow bone development and osteoporosis. According to the survey data, the risk of fracture of teenagers who often drink a lot of carbonated drinks is three times that of other teenagers. This is very harmful to the physical development of growing teenagers.
Second, too much carbon dioxide affects digestion
Although carbonated drinks have too many flavors, the main ingredient in them is carbon dioxide. Drinking beverages containing carbon dioxide properly can play a role in sterilization and bacteriostasis, and can also take away the heat in the body through evaporation, which is beneficial. But if you drink too much carbonated drinks, a lot of carbon dioxide will inhibit the bacteria in the drinks and the beneficial bacteria in the human body. Excessive carbon dioxide can also cause abdominal distension, affect appetite, and even cause gastrointestinal dysfunction and damage health.
Third, reduce human immunity.
Nutritionists believe that healthy human blood should be alkaline, but at present, many acidic substances such as carbonic acid, lactic acid and citric acid are added to drinks, and because the proportion of animal foods such as meat, fish and poultry that people eat is getting higher and higher in recent years, many people's blood is acidic. If more acidic substances are ingested at this time, such as drinking carbonated drinks, the blood will be in an acidic state for a long time, which is not conducive to blood circulation, and human immunity will also decline, and various germs will take advantage of it and make people infected with various diseases.
Fourth, drinking carbonated drinks is easy to get pancreatic cancer.
A recent study found that if a person drinks more than two carbonated drinks every day, he is likely to develop pancreatic cancer. More and more information shows that carbonated drinks are an important cause of pancreatic cancer. For people who drink a lot of carbonated drinks and fruit juice, the possibility of pancreatic cancer is extremely high. If you drink two cups of this drink every day, the probability of these people suffering from pancreatic cancer is 90% higher than the average person. If people put sugar in food and drink more than five times a day, the risk of pancreatic cancer is 30% higher than that of people who don't put sugar. Therefore, there is only one way to reduce the risk of pancreatic cancer, which is to reduce the dependence on sweets and carbonated drinks.
Fifth, a lot of sugar is harmful to the health of teeth.
Carbonated drinks contain too much sugar. After the excessive sugar in the drink is absorbed by the human body, it will produce a lot of calories, which will easily make people fat if they drink it for a long time. More importantly, it brings a great burden to the kidneys, which is also one of the hidden dangers of diabetes.
Many teenagers, especially children, especially like the sweetness of carbonated drinks, but this kind of sugar is very unfavorable to the development of children's teeth. According to a survey, the tooth decay rate of children who like to drink carbonated drinks will increase by 59% when they are 12 years old, and by 200% when they are 14 years old.
Expansive material
Carbonated drinks (soft drinks) refer to drinks filled with carbon dioxide gas under certain conditions. Carbonated drinks mainly contain acidic substances such as carbonated water and citric acid, sugar and spices, and some also contain caffeine and artificial colors. Except that sugar can replenish energy for human body, aerated "carbonated drinks" contain almost no nutrients. Generally: coke, sprite, soda water. Excessive drinking is harmful to your health.
