Sweet sodas are very popular with both the vast majority of children and adults. They not only quench thirst, but also have excellent taste. Although recently, there are many more opponents of soda than supporters. Especially after it became known that cola corrodes rust.
Cola, like all other sugary drinks, including juices, is very dangerous for the body. Among the main harm of cola, many cite the fact that ordinary cola eats away rust, and quite quickly and without outside interference. Indeed, this fact is irrefutable. Due to the high content of phosphoric acid, cola, among its other features, also has the property of corroding rust. And the sour taste of this substance is clogged with just an incredible amount of sugar.
What is the main harm of cola
Cola is incredibly harmful not only because it can corrode even stubborn rust stains. Some people mistakenly claim that cola eats the stomach. And this is simply impossible. After all, the human stomach contains gastric juice, and it includes hydrochloric acid, which is involved in the process of digesting food. The same cola easily dissolves meat. If you suffer from heaviness in the stomach after eating meat, then a glass of cola will replace your usual enzymes and will allow you to dissolve the meat in your stomach much faster. And to wash down a shish kebab or a steak with cold cola is very tasty and pleasant, no matter what they say! But high sugar content is the main danger of all carbonated drinks. Even packaged juices, which seem healthy at first glance, contain an overestimated amount of regular sugar. Although it seems to many that the high sugar content in cola is a rather insignificant deviation from the normal composition of other sugary drinks.
How to use cola
If you cannot imagine your life without this delicious carbonated drink, remember that a glass of cola every few days will not harm your body's systems. But drinking it in unlimited quantities daily, you are at great risk. Not only stomach diseases, but also diabetes mellitus can develop after a few years of such use of cola. You can limit yourself to this drink, but allow yourself to drink cola on weekends or on vacation, for example. And the rest of the time it is better to give preference to mineral water or fresh natural juices. Also, do not forget about such healthy drinks as fruit drinks, compotes, kvass. After all, they are no less tasty, but the benefits from their use are much more than from cola. Believe me, using cola rarely enough, you will be sure that you will not harm yourself.
