1, leading to obesity:
The sweetness of carbonated drinks mainly comes from sweeteners, that is, high sugar content. If too much sugar is absorbed by the human body, it will produce a lot of calories, which will easily lead to obesity if it is drunk for a long time. Most importantly, it will bring a great burden to the kidneys, which is also one of the hidden dangers of diabetes. Therefore, people who have diabetes themselves should try not to drink it.
2, affect digestion:
Drinking too much carbonated drinks is bad for the stomach and affects 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 can easily cause abdominal distension, affect appetite, and even cause gastrointestinal dysfunction and cause gastrointestinal diseases.
3, damage to dental health:
Too much sugar in carbonated drinks will not only lead to obesity, but also be detrimental to children's tooth development, especially prone to tooth decay. According to a survey, the probability of tooth decay will increase by 59% for children aged 12, and by 22% for children aged 14. Some people may choose sugar-free carbonated drinks because of this, but although drinking carbonated drinks reduces sugar intake, these drinks are still very acidic and may also lead to tooth decay.
4, lead to osteoporosis:
Carbonated drinks, especially cola, mostly contain phosphoric acid. Usually people don't care, but this kind of phosphoric acid will affect your bones subtly, and drinking carbonated drinks often will threaten your bone health. A large amount of phosphoric acid intake will affect the absorption of calcium, resulting in calcium and phosphorus imbalance. Once calcium is lacking, it will do great harm to the physical development of growing teenagers. Lack of calcium undoubtedly means slow bone development and osteoporosis, so some data show that the risk of fracture of teenagers who often drink a lot of carbonated drinks is three times that of other teenagers.
5, vulnerable to kidney calculi:
Calcium is the main component of stones. After drinking too many carbonated drinks containing caffeine, the calcium content in urine will increase greatly, making it easier to produce stones. If you consume more caffeine, the risk is even greater. Magnesium and citrate in human body can help prevent the formation of kidney calculi, but after drinking caffeinated drinks, they are excreted, which greatly increases the risk of lithiasis.
