Coca Cola is one of the most popular beverages in the world. Personally, I drink 3 cans of Coca Cola per week. Some people drink Coke whenever they eat foods. However, people start to avoid drinking Coca Cola and many people have heard that Coca Cola is an unhealthy beverage. Even the Owner of Coca Cola family does not even drink Coca Cola. In this blog, I will describe why Coca Cola is bad for our health and show the change of body after drinking Coca Cola.
First, the Coca Cola decay teeth and bone of your body. It causes cavities. Enamel of our teeth is decayed and destroyed by the acidic pH and many sugars inside the Coca Cola. This causes enamel erosion and our teeth start to decay faster. After drink a Coke, Coke reduces the calcium inside the bones. Phosphoric acid in the drink also reduces the amount of calcium. Furthermore, caffeine from the Coa Cola causes bone loss. Caffeine disrupts the calcium absorption and increase in the amount of calcium in the urine. Therefore, our body will lose many amount of calcium.

Secondly, Coca Cola increase the
heart disease. Coca Cola increase the risk of developing
metabolic syndrome. Therefore, the insulin level decreases and the sugars inside the blood will increase. Also Coca Cola itself contains many sugars. All these sugars and decreasing insulin level will cause the cholesterol increase inside the blood. Finally, our heard will have damage from these effects.

Finally, I want to talk about the
diabetes. Diabetes type 2 is caused by the high level of blood sugar and insulin resistance. However, Coca Cola contains both issues. As I stated above, Coca Cola decreases the insulin level. Also many sugars are contained inside the Coca Cola. Therefore, the poor blood flow and high amount of sugars causes the Diabetes faster than normal people who do not drink Coca Cola.
