Coca-cola is a well-renowned brand in the world and one of the most well-known brands among the people. It is an irony that in many places it is easier to get a coke than clean water to drink.
Coke portrays itself as an environmentally and socially conscious company, but the reality is different. The company is connected with water shortages as well as pollution.
The acidic nature of the product has led to questions in minds of consumers. It has led to confusion as to the effect of the product on consumers’ health, as the pH rating of the product is just one point higher than that of battery acid.
It has been found in the latest study that people who consume at least one soda daily have a 44% higher risk of suffering from metabolic syndrome.
People who consume soda daily also have other risks such as:
- A risk of more than 30% developing a larger waistline
- Risk of becoming obese
- A higher than 25% risk of developing high blood sugar.
- Lower levels of good cholesterol
- Higher risk of increase in blood pressure
- People who consume soda daily also face a risk of stroke or heart attack
