Such sweet, effervescent, tasty and favorite by many, and especially children, fizzy drinks. .. There are many rumors about them, but almost all of them say that such drinks destroy the body, they are suitable only for removing rust or as a stain remover,but drinking them is not very desirable. And for children so even more so. Is this really the case?
What are the popular soda pops
If you consider that such a popular drink as 7-up was originally patented as a cure for a hangover, and in addition it included a drug that has the action of an antidepressant, then what can it be about? Of course, now there are not added medicines, but they have not been replaced by anything good.
Favorite by many Coca-Cola was first a potion that was accidentally diluted with water. So there was a drink. For today, no extract of cola in the drink is present, the whole composition is carbonated, tinted, sweet water, in which there are solid chemical elements. You can verify this easily enough by reading what is written on the label in the smallest font. With the help of such a drink you can get rid of rust, and unscrew the old bolts. It is hard to imagine what is eating the old rust, but the fact remains, these same chemical elements then also eat up the stomach.
In the summer time on the streets you can often see "good" parents who buy and give such drinks to very small children, completely not realizing that they spoil the baby's stomach. Of course, you can refuse such drinks and drink a simple soda, however, the difference is not very much. Carbonated artesian water in the heat can not quench your thirst, it will only strengthen it.
What's harmful about soda
So what's so scary about your favorite soda pop?
- Sweets - an average of one glass of drink accounts for about 5 tablespoons of sugar. If you stop and think, the figure will turn out great, given the number of drinks that are drunk in the heat. As a result - the emergence of problems with the teeth( caries), overweight, and maybe diabetes. Nobody thinks about these consequences when they take a bottle of soda in hands, but it's a pity.
- Flavors - all, of course, understand that no berries and fruits did not smell and close, but in fact the chemical compounds smell so. Naturally, there is no benefit from them, but harm is quite possible.
- Carbon dioxide on the background of all the other factors, we can say, is almost harmless. Unpleasant sensations it will bring only to those who have stomach diseases, it destroys the microflora inside it, and can also lead to bloating, belching and heartburn.
- Citric acid is the most popular preservative used by all manufacturers. He destroys the tooth enamel, and, therefore, helps to develop caries. Another preservative is orthophosphoric acid, it easily cleanses the calcium that bones need.
The combination of all these factors contributes to the formation of kidney stones, this is also worth remembering. The modern world is already full of harmful factors that affect the body, regardless of whether the person wants it or not. But the decision to drink carbonated drinks is taken independently, and, therefore, a person realizes that he is destroying his health. Choosing between pure water and soda, it is better to take a step towards health and happiness.
