in our previous post, we discussed about ingredients being used in coca-cola soft drinks. let's look at the effects of the ingredients to our health. remember, we are not criticizing any product, rather we are only bringing awareness to what we eat on daily basis especially our eating habits. there some who take soft drink like coke on daily basis up to two or more bottles per day. what we are saying is to know the effects it will have to your health by consuming some of these products in large quantity. moderation is the best. i drink coke but not daily and i do not take more than a bottle. the question is what about you? how often do you drink coke?
Carbonated Water:
Carbonated water
appears to have little impact on health. While carbonated water is somewhat
acidic, this acidity is quickly neutralized by saliva.
Carbonated water may increase irritable bowel syndrome symptoms of
bloating and gas due to the release of carbon dioxide in the digestive tract.
It does not appear to have an effect on GERD. There is tentative
evidence that carbonated water may help with constipation
among people who have had a stroke. Some carbonated waters have added sodium, so they may
be an issue for those on low-sodium diets.
