Coke is a common drink in our life. It tastes fresh and delicious and is deeply loved by everyone. Although coke is good to drink, drinking coke for a long time does great harm to the body. So, do you know the harm of drinking coke for a long time? Let's follow and have a look!
Harm of long-term drinking coke:
1. Coke contains caffeine and is addictive.
2. Coke contains carbonic acid. Drinking too much is bad for your health. Because the human body is in the best state when it is weakly alkaline.
3. Drinking too much Coke hurts your teeth. Because Coke contains phosphoric acid and carbonic acid formed after dissolution of carbon dioxide, it has a certain corrosive effect on enamel.
4. Coke contains a lot of sugar, which absorbs quickly and is easy to cause excessive calorie intake. Long drink will make you fat.
5. Coke contains high content of caffeine. Caffeine in the body will endanger the fetal brain, heart and other organs, and will also cause fetal malformations or congenital diseases.
6. Coke can cause osteoporosis. Coke drinkers are five times more likely to fracture than those who don't drink soda. The phosphoric acid in cola may be the reason for the increase of fracture rate, because a large amount of phosphorus will affect the body's absorption of calcium. The caffeine contained in coke also has the effect of decalcification.
7. Coke dissolves nails. Someone once tried to put nails into coke, but the nails would dissolve gradually! The phosphoric acid in coke is a strong acid. Even after dilution, it still has a certain acidity. Although Coke will not dissolve our stomach, it will still bring a certain burden to the stomach. People with gastric ulcer had better not drink it.
8. Drinking too much coke is easy to get esophageal cancer. Indian medical experts have found that the incidence of esophageal cancer is relatively high among people with large consumption of carbonated drinks such as cola. The researchers speculate that the pressure of carbon dioxide may cause the reflux of gastric acid into the esophagus, so as to stimulate the esophagus and induce esophageal cancer, but there is no sufficient research evidence for this explanation. However, it is certain that people with gastrointestinal diseases and gastrointestinal dysfunction should strictly control inflatable drinks.
