Is this healthy?
The average pH of soft drinks, e.g. Coke, Pepsi is pH 3.4. This acidity is strong enough to dissolve teeth and bones! Our human body stops building bones at around the age of 30. After that it'll be dissolving about 8-18% of the bones each year through the urine depending on the acidity of the food intake (acidity does not depend on the taste of the food, but on the ratio of potassium / calcium / magnesium / etc. to phosphorus).
All the dissolved calcium compounds accumulate in the arteries, veins, skin tissue, organs. This affects the functioning of the kidney (kidney stones).
Soft drinks do not have any nutritional value (in terms of vitamins and minerals). They have higher sugar content, higher acidity, and more additives such as preservatives and colorings
Some people like to take cold soft drinks after each meal. Guess what's the impact? Our body has an optimum temperature of 37 degrees for the functioning of digestive enzymes. The temperature of cold soft drinks is much less than 37, sometimes quite close to 0. This will lower the effectiveness of the enzymes and put stress on the digestive system, digesting less food. In fact the food gets fermented. The fermented food produces bad smelling gases, decays and forms toxins which are absorbed in the intestines, get circulated in the blood and is delivered to the whole body. This spread of toxins can lead to the development of various diseases.
Think before you drink Coke or Pepsi or any another soft drink. Have you ever thought what you drink when you drink an aerated drink? You gulp down carbon dioxide, something that nobody in the world would advise you to do.
Two months ago, there was a competition in Delhi University "Who can drink the most Coke?". The winner drank 8 bottles and died on the spot because too much carbon dioxide in the blood and not enough oxygen. From then on, the principal banned all soft drinks from the university canteen.
Someone put a broken tooth in a bottle of Pepsi and in 10 days it is dissolved! Teeth and bones are the only human organ that stay intact for years after death. Imagine what the drink must be doing to your soft intestines and stomach lining!
In no way, shape or form.
WAAY to much sugar in her diet.
is she diabetic?
if not, its likely she will be soon
Nope. Too much sugar. Bad for the teeth too. Thats terrible for your friend.
ya
No.
haha not at all. If you've ever seen the experiment of a tooth in a glass of cola you'd understand, after a few days the tooth literally disolves...but a friend of mine has been drinking nothing but Pepsi all his life and he's still around so I don't think it causes any major damage.
What do you think? Read the back of the can.
No. Cola leeches calcium out of your bones causing them to deteriorate and have holes. It increases your risk of MS and rots your teeth. When drinking coke, your muscles also slowly rot away. Tell him/her to STOP!
No! Soda has more sugar than you are supposed to have in a whole day, which is 15 grams. You should tell him/her to try to drink at least flavored water, that is healthy enough.
nope. it's not healthy. not only is your friend wasting all of her/his daily calories and fat on that cola, but he/she is ruining their teeth!!!! even if they decided to switch to diet cola which is slightly better from a "diet" point of view, still all of that caffeine is bad for you. it dehydrates you! and can eventually rob you of energy. tell your friend to drink a glass of milk or juice with breakfast, water in between, juice, or decaf. tea with lunch, water in between, and treat themself to a cola at dinner time. they do make caffeine free diet coca cola, i've seen it in the grocery store.
