Provocative thesis: Only stupid people drink cola
It sounds bold and provocative: only dumb people drink cola? Sweet soft drinks like cola or lemonade are by no means healthy. They damage the body and do not contribute to the nutrition of humans. And yet, the sugary drinks are consumed in bulk, although they are responsible, for example, for diseases such as diabetes, heart attack or obesity. The renowned US scientist Walter Willett has again warned in an interview before the dangers of soft drinks.


High sugar content promotes overweight and diabetes
Whether Cola, Fanta or Mezzo-Mix: Again and again, health experts warn against the excessive consumption of carbonated soft drinks. The reason: In addition to the many sugars, the popular drinks contain other ingredients such as phosphoric acid and caffeine, whose regular consumption in high amounts can lead to hypertension and heart disease. Already months ago, for example, the pharmacist Niraj Naik had shown in his blog on "The Renegade Pharmacist" what happens in the body after drinking a can of coke.

Soft drinks make you addicted and sick
Now, Harvard professor Walter Willett, in his conversation with the women's magazine "Brigitte", once again pointed out the risks. Accordingly, the sugar contained not only make you fat, but also dependent and sick - which is why Cola, Fanta and Co. should be avoided. "Smart people do not drink Coke," says the world's most influential nutritionist in conversation with the women's magazine.

That conversely, only "stupid" people consume the soft drink, so certainly can not clarify. What is certain, however, is that one liter of coke with more than 35 cubes of sugar (a total of 106 grams) contains lots of sugar. If you take a bottle of the sweet drink, it has already exceeded the recommended daily amount of sugar or just barely reached. Because according to the association of the European food industry, this is 90 grams for women and 110 grams for men. (No)
