Is regularly drinking Cola dangerous if you have heart problems?!


Question: Is regularly drinking Cola dangerous if you have heart problems?
Yes, I've heard countless times that drinking coke isn't healthy, but is it really that risky?
I have mitral valve prolapse along with tachycardia and drink around 1 ltr cola daily (it turns to 2 sometimes though)
Other than cola I'm avoiding caffeine, I don't drink coffee at all. (I'm 19)
So is regularly drinking coke that dangerous?

Thanks in advance.

How regular is regular? I think once can a day is ok, but honestly, I wouldn't recommend it either. I try to avoid cola as much as possible and have it like once or twice a month only. For best results, talk to authority persons for this kinds of queries.



Soft drinks have long been suspected of leading to lower calcium levelsand higher phosphate levels in the blood. When phosphate levels are high and calcium levels are low, calcium is pulled out of the bones. So for your health avoid drinking too much Soft drink. I liter drinking of cola everyday is too much.

Hey man i think u would be ok, i mean just dont drink more than the one liter, cuz that may be a bit too much caffiene? Another thing i reccomend is if u can down sprite and like it then sprite is caffiene free and then u wont have to worry

I drink alot of soda mainly diet but i think u will be fine if u just cut back a little but to be absolutely sure i would ask the doctor, hope i helped



Well, Cola is a caffeine drink, so if you're avoiding caffeine you should avoid cola (unless you find caffeine-free cola somewhere). Besides, regularly drinking Cola is not very healthy for another reason: high sugar content.



Yes! ofcourse..It does effect your health.

Just avoid all drinks which could spoil your health..

Switch yourself to some natural drinks like lemon water,fres juices with out any added preservatives!



There is 35mg of caffeine per 8 ounces of Coca Cola. Caffeine is a stimulant and can raise your heart rate.



talk to your doctor. do NOT rely on medical advice from places like this.

BTW, Coca-Cola makes a no caffeine soda.
