We need to know the ingredients of cola and milk. Coke is a carbonated beverage, and its main components include sugar, caffeine and carbonic acid. On the other hand, milk is composed of protein, fat and carbohydrates. When cola is mixed with milk, the acid in cola will react with protein in milk. This reaction will precipitate protein from the solution and form what we usually call milk scale.
In fact, this milk scale is a special chemical substance, which is composed of protein and sugar. This substance will produce a special taste on the tongue. Some people may find it delicious, while others may not like it.
This chemical reaction is also related to temperature. This reaction is usually more obvious at lower temperatures. If you want to avoid this chemical reaction, you can try mixing cola and milk and drinking it immediately, or cooling the mixture before drinking it.
Effect of mixing cola and milk on human body;
1. Digestion burden: After mixing cola and milk, the nature of protein may change, resulting in indigestible substances. These substances may increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, especially for people with digestive system problems or sensitive constitution, which may cause abdominal distension, diarrhea and other uncomfortable symptoms.
2. Nutrient absorption: The mixing of cola and milk may affect the absorption of nutrients such as calcium and protein in milk. This is because acidic substances in cola may combine with calcium in milk to form substances that are not easily absorbed by human body, thus reducing the absorption rate of calcium.
3. Blood sugar response: The sugar in cola may increase the blood sugar response of mixed drinks and may affect the control and stability of blood sugar in diabetic patients. If coke and milk are mixed for a long time, it may lead to weight gain and increase the risk of obesity and cardiovascular disease. Although the mixing of cola and milk will not cause direct and serious harm to health, it is still recommended not to mix.
