I do not know if there is a more popular non-alcoholic drink in the world than Coca-Cola.
Adults and children adore her, men and women, poor and wealthy.
Representatives of different nationalities proudly say to sellers and waiters: "I have a bottle of Coca-Cola, please."
But not everyone is a fan of this drink.
Many people know, than harmful Coke and try not to use it.
In this knowledge, not all - true, because if you listen to the haters of sweet soda, you can believe that Coca-Cola is worse than all existing poisons combined.
Still, the usefulness of this drink, especially for children, is a big question and it's better to know what you're dealing with, so you do not have to regret the spoiled health.
"Yes, okay, and what's harmful about Coca-Cola?"
I do not remember in the monologue of a humorist who played the situation that in McDonald's the public orders from a dozen hamburgers and a dietary Coca-Cola in addition.
I had a friend who did everything exactly the opposite: he ate properly( he practically did not eat meat, loved vegetables and fruits, liked fish, and cooked it all for a couple or in the oven), but he had one weakness: he absorbed coca-coloured in huge quantities.
I just could not live without it.
We already made fun of him, and tried to reason with him, and appealed to his pocket( still Coca-Cola - not an expensive pleasure, if you drink it daily), nothing helped.
We even tried to attract the power of the press - I caught a glimpse of what the Coke is harmful.
I brought it to Sasha, but he just laughed.
And then Sasha got to the hospital with a sharp ulcer.
Who knows if this disease was the result of nervous shocks, love of Coca-Cola or something else, but from the hospital my friend returned another person: no one saw him with a bottle of Coca-Cola in his hands.
And the creators themselves know what is harmful Coke?
Coca-Cola is not only one of the most popular soft drinks in the world, it also has a fairly ancient history, which is more than 100 years old.
The legendary brand was registered by an American entrepreneur Candler in 1893.
But the recipe for Coca-Cola is even more ancient than the trademark, because the medicine with this name was sold in its pharmacy by the pharmacist Pemberton.
The apothecary claimed that his miracle remedy rescues from many diseases, including neuroses and diseases of the digestive tract.
However, the prescription medication was significantly different from the drink that today stands on store shelves.
The first Coca Cola consisted of a syrup based on sugar, a plant leaf called coca( coca bush) and a cola nut.
Hence, in fact, the name of the drink itself.
In the early twentieth century, it suddenly turned out that the cocaine-containing plant was not a safe component for the drink, even if it was medicinal, so the Coca-Cola formula had to be changed.
Today the exact formula of Coca-Cola is the strictest commercial secret.
The main components of Coca-Cola are harmful to the body
Many people may object to me now: "How can you write what harms Coke, even if the exact formula of this drink is not known?"
Let the exact formula to the public and not known, but the main componentsare not a secret to anyone.
Which 5 major Coca-Cola components are harmful?
-
Sugar.
Its there a lot( about 5 teaspoons per mug).
It is clear that such a dose of sugar, even for people who do not have problems with excess weight and diabetes, will not be useful.
-
Carbon dioxide - those are the most magical bubbles.
Carbon dioxide has a bad effect on the digestive tract.
-
Orthophosphoric acid.
This is a big enemy of your stomach( especially if you suffer from increased acidity), tooth enamel and bones( helps wash out calcium).
-
Caffeine.
This is the causative agent and cheer-giver, for which we love coffee.
It seems that this is not a harmful component, but abuse of it can lead to irritation of the nervous system and habituation.
-
Preservatives and flavors of ( yes, albeit identical to natural ones).
From this artificially created muck there is no point at all - one continuous harm.
Although it is fair to say that such harmful additives are contained not only in Coca-Cola, but also in most of the products that we use.

Coca-Cola is harmful, you run the risk of getting sick
Now let's move on to the most unpleasant point of the article - the diseases that Coca-Cola can cause.
I will say right away, 100% of the fidelity that Coca-Cola is terribly harmful and leads to the appearance of terrible diseases, there is not even scientists who are engaged in long-term studies of this drink.
Of course, the learned men in white coats have given coca-cola to unfortunate mice and rabbits, but such studies have not been conducted on people, so all the results are based on "can", "like", "if."
In addition, you can get sick only if you absorb a large amount of Coca-Cola daily: from 3 liters and more.
And yet, despite these reservations, I have to say: many scientists argue that Coca-Cola is harmful, because it can lead to such diseases and disorders:
- obesity;
- diabetes mellitus;
- ulcer and other digestive tract diseases;
- liver steatosis;
- of kidney failure;
- of hypokalemia;
- hormonal failure;
- caries;
- fragility of bones.
From the video below you will find out what happens to the human body after 1 single-drinkable can of Coca-Cola.

And is it really so harmful to Coca-Cola: the basic myths of
You know, writing about Coca-Cola is not too grateful.
If you start to spread some demonic stories about it, then you are bribed by the main competitor of Coca-Cola: the Pepsi trademark.
If you do not say anything bad, you work for Coca-Cola and you do not care about the nation's health.
Particularly difficult in this regard, doctors, I sympathize with them even.
It's impossible to believe all horrors about the harmfulness of Coca-Cola, but it's also wrong to consider it an elixir of life.
Look for the truth in the middle.
3 myths about the dangers of Coca-Cola:
-
This is a poison that is deadly to everyone, especially for children.
Most doctors( among them the boasted pediatrician Komarovsky) are unequivocal in their opinion: the only thing that is bad in Coca-Cola is the high sugar content.
Sometimes a healthy child, not suffering from obesity, can drink Coca-Cola, but it should not be abused.
-
Coca-Cola dissolves the scum on the kettle, imagine what it will do to your stomach.
Actually dissolve the scum under the power of any soda water.
And with this task, soda is very good, which many are bred in water and drink from heartburn.
The walls of the stomach are very different in composition from the scale, so they do not face dissolution from Coca-Cola.
-
Put in a container with a jellyfish coca-cola die.
You might think if you put a jellyfish in a container filled with juice, kvass, compote, mors, or any other useful non-alcoholic beverage, then it painfully rejoices.
Decide for yourself whether to drink Coca-Cola or not.
My business is to warn you, than harmful to the Coke , and there - as you know.
It seems to me that if you sometimes indulge in this drink, then there will not be much harm to the body.
But the abuse of sweet sodas will necessarily harm your health.
