Being absolutely commercially- covered and thus on the top of worldwide brands, Coca – Cola is the most popular drink in the world.
As ironic as it may seem, in the majority of countries on our planet, you can buy a Coke even more easily and less expensive than a bottle of clear water.
No matter how hard the Coca- Cola Company tries to convince customers that it is an environmentally and socially conscious company, the cruel reality is that it is connected to pollution and water shortages.
Another important fact is that its consumption is related to long- term health consequences, due to toxicity issues caused by its acidity, since its pH rating is one point higher than the pH rating of battery acid.
Namely, a study discovered that people have a 48% increased risk of stroke or heart attack when drinking one or more soda cans per day, in a comparison to those that don’t drink it every day.
The consumption of soft drinks has also been related to respiratory disorders like COPD and asthma.
The findings of another 4-year study conducted by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute discovered even more devastating results.
The crew studied 2,400 and more middle aged white residents of Framingham, Mass, especially focusing on more than 1,600 people, who were tracked by the team for at least 4 years.
Those persons who consumed minimum one soda a day had a 44 percent higher risk of developing metabolic syndrome during the duration of the study. All participants in the study haven’t shown signs of metabolic syndrome when the study started.
Furthermore, those people who drank minimum one soda can per day also had:
a trend toward an increased risk of high blood pressure
a 30% higher risk of getting a larger waistline
a 32% higher risk of having low levels of good cholesterol
a 25% higher risk of having low good cholesterol levels
a 31% higher risk of becoming obese
10 Uses of Coke in Household
As previously stated, this drink possesses an extreme acidity which is extremely harmful for the body, but makes it more suitable for an amazing cleaning product.
To prove this, here are some important facts: the pH of 0 to nearly 7 is acidic in the scale, while from 7 to 14 is alkaline on the pH scale. The pH level of the battery acid is 1, while the pure water has a pH of 7. In the test done on the acidity levels of Coke, it was discovered to have 2.5 pH levels.
Consequently, it has the same potential to clean surfaces just like many toxic household cleaners.
Below are ten household uses of Coke in household causes that prove that it is everything but beneficial to human health:
1. Toilet cleaning: pour the Coke and leave it for a while, then flush it.
