| Soda is bad for your health? | | |  Dr Rashi
When consumed in excess, added sugar can adversely affect your health . Some sources of sugar are worse than others – and sugary drinks are by far the worst. This primarily applies to sugary soda but also to fruit juices , highly sweetened coffees , and other sources of liquid sugar . 1. Sugary Drinks Do Not Make You Feel Full and Are Strong Linked to Weight Gain :- The most common form of added sugar – sucrose or table sugar – supplies large amounts of the simple sugar fructose. Fructose does not lower the hunger hormone ghrelin or stimulate fullness in the same way as glucose, the sugar that forms when you digest starchy foods. 2. Large Amounts of Sugar Are Turned in to Fat in Your Liver:- Sugary drinks are the easiest and most common way to consume excessive amounts of fructose. When you consume too much, your liver becomes overloaded and turns the fructose in to fat. Some of the fat gets shipped out as blood triglycerides, while part of it remains in the liver. Over time, this can contribute to non alcoholic fatty liver disease. 3. Sugar Drastically Increases Belly Fat Accumulation : - High sugar intake is associated with weight gain. Excessive belly fat is tied to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Those who consumed glucose had an increase in skin fat – which is not linked to metabolic disease – while those who consumed fructose saw their belly fat significantly increase. 4. Sugary Soda Contains No Essential Nutrients – Just Sugar :- Sugary Soda contains virtually no essential nutrients – no vitamins , no minerals and no fiber . It adds nothing to your diet except excessive amounts of added sugar and unnecessary calories. 5. Sugary Soda May Be Addictive:- It is possible that sugary soda is an addictive substance. In rats , sugar bringing may cause dopamine release in the brain , giving a feeling of pleasure. Bringing on sugar may have similar effects in certain people, as your brain is hardwired to seek out activities that release dopamine. 6. Soda Drinkers Have a Higher Risk of Cancer :- Cancer tends to go hand in hand with other chronic diseases like obesity , type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Sugary drinks are frequently associated with an increased risk of cancer . Postmenopausal women who drink a lot of sugary soda may also be at greater risk for endometrial cancer or cancer of inner lining of the uterus. 7. The Sugar And Acids in Soda Are a Disaster For Dental Health: - It is a well – known fact that sugary soda is bad for your teeth. Soda contains acid like phosphoric acid and carbonic acid. These acids create highly acidic environment in your mouth which makes your teeth vulnerable to decay. Sugar provides easily digestible energy for the bad bacteria in your mouth. This combined with the acids , wreaks havoc on dental health over time. 8. Sugar Consumption Is Linked to an Increased Risk of Dementia:- Dementia is a collective term for declines in brain function in older adults. The most common form is Alzheimer’s disease. The higher your blood sugar , the higher your risk of Dementia. Because sugar – sweetened beverages lead to rapid spikes in blood sugar, it makes sense that they could increase your risk of Dementia. Drinking high amounts of sugar – sweetened beverages- such as soda can have various adverse impacts on your health.
These ranges from increased chances of tooth decay to a higher risk of heart disease and metabolic disorders like type 2 diabetes. Regular consumption of sugary soda also appears to be a consistent risk factor for weight gain and obesity. If you want to lose weight , avoid chronic diseases , and liver longer consider limiting your intake of sugary drinks. |
