ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF COCACOLA
Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink sold
in stores, restaurants, and vending
machines in more than 200 countries. Cocacola is one of the most
popular soft drink in the world, so I will mention some of advantages of
drinking cocacola for our life.
1)
Psychological
enjoyment of the taste. It is because the taste is good and make us
relax.
2)
To clean a toilet:
Pour a can of coca-cola into the toilet bowl. Sit for one hour, then flush
clean. The citric acid in coke removes stains from vitreous.
3)
To remove rust spots
from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a crumpled-up piece of
reynolds wrap aluminum foil dipped in coca-cola.
4)
To clean corrosion
from car battery terminals : Pour a can of coca-cola over the terminals
to bubble away the corrosion.
5)
To loosen a rusted
bolt : Apply a cloth soaked in coca-cola to the rusted bolt for
sometime.
6)
To remove grease from
clothes : Pour a can of coke into a load of greasy clothes, add
detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The coca-cola/ pepsi will help
loosen grease stains.
7)
It will also
clean road haze from car windshield
Beside of the advantages, it also has disadvantages for our life, such
as:
1)
Diabetes. soda
and sweetened drinks are one of the main source of calories. It can be harmful
if consumed excessively. (Interestingly, women who consumed a lot of fruit
juice--which is high in natural fructose--were not at increased risk of diabetes,
leading researchers to speculate that naturally occurring sugars may have
different metabolic effects than added sugars. They also speculate that
vitamins, minerals, fiber, and phytochemicals in fruit juices may have a
protective effect against weight gain and diabetes, counterbalancing the
adverse effects of sugar).
2)
Weakened Bones And Risk Of Osteoporosis. Studies have shown that regular soft drink users have a lower
intake of calcium, magnesium, ascorbic acid, riboflavin, and vitamin A. It also shown
between long-term regular cola intake and osteoporosis in older
women (but not men). This was thought to be due to the presence of phosphoric acid.
3)
Dental Caries And Erosion. The
acidity can dissolve the mineral content of the enamel, making the teeth
weaker, more sensitive, and more susceptible to decay. Soda's acidity makes it
even worse for teeth than the solid sugar found in candy.
4)
Kidney Damage.
It's because of their acidity and radical mineral imbalances. Your body must
buffer the acidity of soft drinks with calcium from your own bones. As this
calcium is eliminated through your urine, it slowly forms kidney stones.
5)
Increased Blood
Pressure. Experts have reasons to believe that overconsumption of fructose,
particularly in the form of soft drinks, leads to an increase in blood pressure
6)
Dehydration. Another
problem with sodas is that they act as dehydrating diuretics. Both caffeine and
sugar cause dehydration. Caffeine is a diuretic and causes an increase in urine
volume. High concentration of sugar is drawing off water because your kidneys
try to expel the excess sugar out of the blood. When you drink a caffeinated
soda to quench your thirst, you will actually become thirstier.
