Currently, many types of carbonated soft drinks contain phosphoric, when absorbed into the body will reduce calcium in the bones, over time will cause osteoporosis; bones will be porous and brittle... People who drink too much soft drinks (2 cans per day) are at high risk of the following diseases:

Causes cancer

Carbonated soft drinks contain carcinogens such as methylmadizole. According to scientists, the sugar in these drinks releases insulin, a substance that feeds tumors.

Isabel Drake, a researcher at Lund University (Sweden) also said that people who drink a lot of carbonated soft drinks will have a 40% higher risk of prostate cancer than normal.

According to a new study published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention (USA), postmenopausal women who are addicted to sweet drinks have a higher risk of developing a type of uterine cancer, called estrogen-dependent type 1 endometrial cancer.

Memory loss

Brominated vegetable oil (BVO) is added to most carbonated soft drinks to prevent the flavor from fading. However, this preservative has harmful side effects on mental health. It negatively affects brain function, causing memory loss, neurological disorders and other potential health risks.

Many acids are harmful.

The acids in soft drinks are harmful to your health and beauty. These acids make our skin lose its smoothness, heartburn and increase the risk of osteoporosis. Drinking soft drinks on an empty stomach will disrupt the acid-alkaline balance of the digestive system.

Causes obesity

One of the shocking facts about soft drinks is that they cause obesity. A study by Danish scientists has found that drinking soft drinks every day will increase different types of fat in the body. Soft drinks even increase cholesterol. Not only regular soft drinks but also diet soft drinks can increase the “circumference” of the waist and cause weight gain. The sweeteners in diet soft drinks increase blood sugar levels, which leads to weight gain.

Increased risk of kidney stones

Soft drinks contain phosphates, which have been identified as contributing to kidney stones. A study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology also found that drinking two or more cans of soft drinks a day doubles the risk of kidney disease.

“In canned soft drinks, manufacturers use fructose - also known as fruit sugar - to create sweetness. However, fructose increases the sensitivity of the kidneys to angiotensin II, a protein that regulates salt balance.” This means that salt is reabsorbed into the kidneys, leading to diabetes, obesity, kidney failure, and high blood pressure.

With such harmful effects of soft drinks, would you choose a glass of water or still choose a glass of water?

Damage the digestive system

Drinking soft drinks every day will also damage your digestive system. Soft drinks contain many additives, chemicals and preservatives that damage the surface of the intestines and stomach. Daily consumption of this acidic beverage can also create a prolonged acidic environment and lead to damage to the stomach lining.

Causes diabetes

Soft drinks put us at high risk of diabetes.

The Danish study also found evidence that sugary drinks put us at a higher risk of diabetes. Drinking soda every day for six months can lead to fat accumulation around the liver and skeletal muscles. This can lead to insulin resistance in the body and a higher risk of diabetes.

Uterine cancer

According to a new study published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention (USA), postmenopausal women who are addicted to sweet drinks have a higher risk of developing a type of uterine cancer, called estrogen-dependent type 1 endometrial cancer.

Obesity is a risk factor for cancer, and women who consume a lot of sugary drinks contribute to obesity, which in turn increases their risk of developing cancer, researchers explain.
