Carbonated beverages to quench the thirst of the principle is: carbonated beverages foam and stimulate the taste of carbon dioxide, drinking, due to the temperature increase, so that the carbon dioxide vaporization, resulting in a sense of stimulation and take away the body's heat, so to give the drinker a sense of coolness. Sufficient amount of carbon dioxide in the drink can kill bacteria, antibacterial, but also through the vaporization of heat away from the body. However, carbonated drinks can affect digestion if you drink too much. Because carbon dioxide inhibits the bacteria in the drink, it also inhibits the beneficial bacteria in the body, so that the function of the digestive system suffers damage.
Increase the burden on the kidneys
The main ingredients of carbonated beverages are coloring, flavoring, sugar and carbonated water. It contains no vitamins and no minerals. In addition to calories, there is almost no nutrients. The human body absorbs too much sugar will bring a great burden to the kidneys, which is a major hidden trouble caused by diabetes, and the large number of calories it produces is also the cause of obesity.
Corrosion of teeth

Phosphoric acid causes osteoporosis
The survey shows that carbonated drinks are harmful to human health in the long term. Not only affect the development of children's bones, but also easily lead to osteoporosis in women during menopause. Because the human body needs a balance between the ratio of calcium and phosphorus, according to experts, the ideal intake of calcium and phosphoric acid should be 1:1. Carbonated beverages contain phosphoric acid, which greatly affects the human body for the absorption of calcium, and cause abnormal loss of calcium. When a large number of phosphoric acid into the body, the rapid increase in phosphorus content, resulting in a relative lack of calcium in the blood, in order to maintain a balanced relationship between calcium and phosphorus in the blood, bones, teeth in the calcium will be dissolved into the blood. The loss of calcium in the bones can lead to osteoporosis.
Increased probability of esophageal cancer
The researchers found that countries around the world with a per capita consumption of more than 70 liters of carbonated beverages had more people with esophageal cancer than other countries. They believe that carbonated drinks may increase people's risk of esophageal cancer. This is because carbonated drinks dilate the stomach, which can lead to food reflux, which is linked to esophageal cancer.
Food additives affect the normal secretion of digestive enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract
Some carbonated beverages choose sweeter synthetic sweeteners as food additives, but can only provide sweetness, do not participate in the body's internal metabolism, and do not have any nutritional value. The human body intake of excessive synthetic sweeteners, will reduce the absorption capacity of the small intestine, so that appetite loss, affect the normal secretion of digestive enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract, a short period of time a large number of intake of synthetic sweeteners will also lead to acute poisoning.
The more you drink, the more thirsty you get
Carbonated beverages contain a lot of additives, preservatives, coloring and other substances in the body metabolism requires a lot of water, such as cola contains caffeine has a diuretic effect, which promotes the discharge of water, so drinking carbonated beverages will drink the more thirsty you get.

In addition, carbonated beverages generally contain about 10% sugar, high calorie, easy to make people fat. For those who are traveling, the sugar in them can supplement some energy, but it can't refresh, and in turn, it is easy to cause fatigue, drowsiness and other adverse reactions.
Children's milk teeth and young permanent teeth of the lower degree of calcification, not as good as adult teeth calcification, coupled with dental health care awareness is not strong, often ignoring the teeth cleaning, which leads to an increase in the probability of children's teeth caries. Experts suggest that if you must drink carbonated beverages, you can use a straw, which can reduce the time of contact between the beverage and teeth. After drinking, rinse your mouth with water and then brush your teeth, which helps children prevent caries.
