Biological scientist Dr Hans-Peter Kubis, who's just led a study into what soft drinks do to our bodies, has reached some shocking conclusions. When you read what he discovered, you may well choose never to touch the fizzy stuff again.
Hey, it's Marco! Well, it’s no surprise to learn that our consumption of soft drinks has more than doubled since 1985, from ten gallons per person a year to more than 25 gallons.
We know this is not entirely good for us, but could sugary soft drinks be so dangerous that they should carry health warnings?
This may sound alarmist, but new medical studies have produced worrying results.
Even moderate consumption, a can a day, or just two a week may alter our metabolism so that we pile on weight. The drinks also appear to increase the risk of heart disease, liver failure and hypertension.
In children, soft drinks have been linked to addict-like cravings, as well as twisting kids’ appetites so they hunger for junk food... Damn! What's left to drink? Water? I'm okay with that!
