It is rumored that drinking soda every day will hinder the body's absorption of calcium. What is the truth? From 65438 to 0997, the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences found that the composition of soda water had no substantial negative effect on calcium absorption. For healthy people of most ages, there is no direct relationship between soda intake and calcium absorption obstruction. Drinking soda properly will not affect calcium absorption, nor will it directly or additionally affect bone health. In addition, scientific research also found that the three main reasons affecting bone health are: insufficient intake of calcium and vitamin D in diet, changes in female hormones and lack of physical exercise. There is no sign of coke or any soft drinks.

Soda is not the deadly enemy of "slimming"

Some "slimming controllers" are worried that the food and drinks on the table will destroy their slimming achievements, so they often become very "reserved" at the table, and all soda, meat and cream cakes are rejected. In fact, generally speaking, it is not a single food or drink that directly leads to obesity. As the saying goes, there is no bad food, only bad eating habits and lifestyle. Stay away from obesity should remember to keep good eating habits and a balanced diet.

All kinds of foods we eat every day can provide the necessary energy for the body, and the energy of many so-called fattening foods is actually not as high as people think. For example, 100 ml of Coca-Cola contains 43 kilocalories, while 100 g of tofu contains 8 1 kilocalories. As long as we pay attention to exercise, such as increasing walking time, taking fewer elevators and taking more stairs, the energy we consume every day can be completely consumed.

Coke does not affect fertility.

During the period of 1985, Dr. Sharee A. Umpierre from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Harvard Medical School and her colleagues mixed sperm with cola in vitro, detected the number of live sperm, and concluded that cola had a certain spermicidal effect. 1987, Hong Chuanyue and others in Taipei Veterans General Hospital tested whether sperm still have transmembrane migration activity in the presence of cola, and concluded that cola did not affect sperm activity. These two studies with completely opposite conclusions both won the Ig Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2008.

From 200 1 to 2006, Danish doctor Zhan Sen investigated the sperm quality and caffeine intake of 2554 young men. The results showed that drinking coffee (the total amount of caffeine is less than 800mg) and drinking cola (two bottles of 500ml a day) had no effect on the number, vitality and morphology of sperm. Do you really drink at least two bottles of coke and at least seven cups of coffee every day? If not, then don't worry too much about all kinds of rumors about whether coffee and coke kill sperm. For a very small number (3%) of young people who drink cola or caffeine, some of them do have the problem of declining sperm quality. Dr Zhan Sen believes that these people not only drink more cola, but also have other unhealthy eating habits. In other words, drinking "a lot" of coke is only one aspect of bad eating habits. So there is no evidence that drinking a lot of cola leads to a decline in sperm quality. Especially for those who drink a lot of cola, although the total sperm count has dropped by 30%, it is still within the range of normal sperm count given by the World Health Organization.
