Jogged, walked, worked, and feeling tired ? A soft drink
refreshes the body instantly. The magic of the fizz
seems to soothe the nerves and the mind at such times.
And so consequently, according to studies, about 90% of
moderate income population prefers soft drinks like Coca
Cola or Pepsi after a tiring day.

What is this drink?
Coca Cola and Pepsi are such products that have been
scrutinized by the environment and human rights
department for inducing bad and unhealthy food
products. The brands are symbolic of all soft drinks that
are nothing but sugar or artificially sweetened sodas
with color.
The trend of having these beverages increased with the
introduction of Diet versions. These versions claim to
have no added sugar which can keep a check on the
weight factor. Teenagers and women, especially, have
been reported to consume this product ever more than
before.
With a number of more companies coming up with
similar products, the researches done by some of the
universities seem to be undone. However, if you are
reading this article be sure about certain facts before
touching your lips to another can of Coca Cola or Pepsi.

Harmful Effects of Drinking Coca Cola (Coke) or Pepsi

The particulars mentioned here are merely the
reproductions of the results concluded by some of the
known universities around the world. It has been
observed that consumption of soft drinks must be
checked as soon as possible. A glass of cold water can
be less attractive but is much healthier and better choice
in terms of survival. It is always better to prevent than to
cure.

Caffeine, Sugar and Aspartame: These products are
invariably present within the sweetened soft drinks.
Coca Cola and Pepsi have been under lawsuits in
some of the developed countries against using
Aspartame which causes several diseases. Children
should be strictly restricted from consuming products
with Aspartame. Furthermore, caffeine and sugar are
very addictive leading to another set of diseases like
diabetes and a life-long habit of inducing caffeine in
the body.

Kidney Failures: The sweet sugar is definitely not the
reason for a failing kidney but the artificial sweeteners
are. Hence consuming Diet versions of Coca Cola or
Pepsi have proved to produce more impairment than
the sweet versions.

Metabolism Level Decreases: A glass of warm water
can speed up you metabolic rate but may taste awful
after a workout session. A can of Coke can surely be
tasty but it really decreases the metabolism and helps
in destroying the fat burning enzymes in no time. Thus
a can of either Diet Coke or simple Coca Cola after a
rigorous workout or busy day is strictly not advisable.

Obesity and Diabetes: Obesity was never a major
problem when Coca Cola or similar products were not
introduced. But with an advent of these products, a
major portion of the population is turning obese which
includes children and teenagers. Obesity is the root of
diseases that affect heart, lungs, and kidney.
Researches have also been proving that obesity may
be a cause to trigger cancer cells. Similarly, patients
with diabetes must never touch beverages like Coke or
Pepsi since it increases level of sugar in blood by
twofold. Non-diabetic persons should avoid these
drinks in order to keep diabetes away.

Teeth and Bone Damage: The pH level of Coke or Pepsi
is 3.2 which are quite high. This pH level decides the
acidic nature of a liquid. Hence these beverages are
acidic in nature and can dissolve bones and enamels
very quickly.

Reproduction problems: A research has shown that the
cans of Coke or Pepsi are coated with such chemicals
that may lead to reproduction problems with regular
consumption.

obviously, these are all horrible outcomes of Coca-cola and pepsi consumption... but honestly, they're not horrible enough for your average Coca-Cola addict.

Until people see something like- "if you drink coke or Pepsi, you'll die tomorrow"-, they're more likely to continue consumption.

i dont really know o, but what i will tell you is, any carbonated drinks, most are harmful to our health.
a research shows that when u drink coke or pepsi it twice a day, leads to kidney failure.
there was a time i cant do without pepsi then i was getting very fay, it got to a time i have to stop taking this drinks, to God be the glory am no longer fat.
am not saying we should not take this drinks but what am trying to pass across is, should be taking in moderation.

OP If sugar no kill person, alcohol will, if alcohol doesn't, sickness will, if sickness doesn't, armed robbers will, and if armed robbers don't, konji will, if konji no kill person, accident will, if accident no kill person poverty will, even this naija economy and bad govt is big enough to kill..


So live ur life, enjoy urself, and eat everytin moderately, because even too much intake of water can kill... Its all about moderation



Ur topic is misleading.. Coca cola causes harm only wen abused.. Its the same tin with almost every food that enters our body
