1. Effects on bones: osteoporosis caused by phosphoric acid.
Most of the ingredients of carbonated drinks contain phosphoric acid, but this kind of phosphoric acid will affect bones subtly, and drinking carbonated drinks often will threaten the health of bones. Because the human body has requirements for various elements, a large intake of phosphoric acid will affect the absorption of calcium, resulting in an imbalance between calcium and phosphorus.
Once calcium is lacking, it will do great harm to the physical development of children during their growth. Lack of calcium undoubtedly means slow bone development and osteoporosis. According to some data, the risk of fracture of teenagers who often drink a lot of carbonated drinks is three times that of other teenagers.
Osteoporosis is a worldwide health problem, which attracts more and more attention. With the increase of age, the absorption rate of calcium gradually decreases, so middle-aged and elderly people are prone to osteoporosis, especially elderly women. Studies have shown that long-term consumption of carbonated drinks, especially milk and dairy products, is insufficient, which is very easy to cause osteoporosis. This is mainly because most carbonated drinks contain phosphoric acid. The intake of a large amount of phosphoric acid will affect the absorption of calcium, resulting in calcium and phosphorus imbalance, which in turn will affect bones and teeth. Because pregnant women are prone to calcium deficiency during pregnancy, they should also drink carbonated drinks as little as possible.
2. Effect on teeth
Scientists in China recently discovered that carbonated drinks are one of the important causes of tooth decay in teenagers.
According to the report, frequent consumption of carbonated drinks will increase the probability of dental caries among adolescents aged 65,438+02 by 59% and that of adolescents aged 65,438+04 by 220%. If you drink more than 4 cups of carbonated drinks every day, the possibility of tooth decay in these two age groups will increase by 25.2% and 5 13% respectively. Among the 1000 adolescents surveyed, 76% of children aged 12 and 92% of children aged 14 drank carbonated drinks. Among the respondents of all ages, 40% drink more than 3 cups of carbonated drinks every day.
Liz Kay, a scientific consultant of the Dental Association, is deeply worried about this: although drinking sugar-free carbonated drinks reduces sugar intake, these drinks are still very acidic and may lead to tooth decay. The British Dental Journal published the research report.
Carbon dioxide gas capacity is a characteristic index of carbonated drinks. Sufficient carbon dioxide gas capacity can keep the acidity of the drink at a certain level, and has certain sterilization and bacteriostasis, and can also take away heat by evaporation to cool down. If the capacity of carbon dioxide gas does not reach a certain content, it cannot be called carbonated beverage. The US Center for Science in the Public Interest recommends using a warning: The US government advises you to drink less carbonated drinks to prevent weight gain, tooth decay and other health problems. Or to protect your waistline and teeth, please consider drinking water or drinking water.
3. Influence on human immunity
In order to be easy to preserve and have an attractive taste, the current drinks are inseparable from food additives. In order to reduce the cost as much as possible, many beverage manufacturers always have a soft spot for additives, even exceeding the standard. Although many labels do not indicate the name of the additive, the test results show that its existence is an indisputable fact.
Nutritionists believe that healthy human blood should be alkaline. At present, carbonic acid, lactic acid, citric acid and other acidic substances have been added to drinks. In recent years, the proportion of animal foods such as meat, fish and poultry is getting higher and higher, and many people's blood is acidic. If more acidic substances are ingested, the blood will be in an acidic state for a long time, which is not conducive to blood circulation. People are prone to fatigue, decreased immunity, and various pathogenic microorganisms take advantage of it, making people susceptible to infection.
4. Effect on digestive function
Studies have shown that sufficient carbon dioxide can play a role in sterilization and bacteriostasis in beverages, and can also take away the heat in the body through evaporation to cool down.
But drinking too much carbonated drinks is not good for the stomach, and it will also affect digestion. Because a large amount of carbon dioxide can inhibit bacteria in drinks and beneficial bacteria in the human body, the digestive system will be destroyed. Especially for young people, if they drink too much at once, the released carbon dioxide will easily cause abdominal distension, affect appetite and even cause gastrointestinal dysfunction. A lot of sugar is harmful to the health of organs. Too much sugar in the beverage is absorbed by the human body, which will produce a lot of calories, which will easily lead to obesity if it is drunk for a long time. The most important thing is that it will bring a great burden to the kidneys, which is also one of the hidden dangers of diabetes.
5. Effects on nervous system
Interfering with the impulse conduction of the nervous system is easy to cause ADHD in children.
Our survey results show that 46% people don't like carbonated drinks, and 29% people realize that drinking carbonated drinks for a long time is harmful to human health. Therefore, we should actively publicize in this regard. Make people realize the adverse effects of drinking too much carbonated drinks on health. Let people drink carbonated drinks as little as possible in their daily lives. Generally, it is best to choose boiled water with specific activity, or drink some fruit juice containing vitamins in moderation. People with hypertension, diabetes and hyperglycemia should try not to drink carbonated drinks. In addition, among teenagers, we can appeal to everyone to save the change for drinking carbonated drinks and do something beneficial to social construction, such as donating money to Project Hope and planting trees in an environmentally friendly way.
6. Drinking carbonated drinks will lead to the influence on the stomach.
You should pay attention to those who love carbonated drinks! Health experts warn that long-term consumption of carbonated drinks can lead to stomach pain at night.
Carbonated drink is a soft drink filled with carbon dioxide gas, which is often called soda in our life. Previous studies have said that drinking carbonated drinks for a long time is very easy to cause obesity and diabetes; Phosphoric acid in carbonated drinks will subtly affect human bones and lead to osteoporosis. This is an article published in Chest, a famous American medical magazine.
Abdominal pain during sleep has been ignored. Poor sleep quality has become one of the important factors that hinder modern people's effective work and life during the day. Experts in the study define that if you have stomach pains twice or more every month when you sleep, then you have the disease of sleeping stomach pains. According to a survey of 153 15 Americans, experts found that drinking too many carbonated drinks can cause stomach pain when sleeping. Because carbonated drinks contain more acidic substances, the acidity in the stomach increases, which in turn produces adverse stimulation and even damages the gastric mucosa; The released carbon dioxide is easy to cause abdominal distension, which may cause gastrointestinal dysfunction. It is also known that experts also found that sleeping pills can also promote stomach pain when sleeping at night, but how sleeping pills have such a negative impact on the human body is currently being further explored by scientists.
