A can of soda reduces life by 12 minutes

Daily habit of millions of people shortens life: shocking discovery about a popular drink. Pharmacist Alvaro Fernandez in a conversation with the publication 20minutos revealed the alarming truth about the impact of sweet soda on the human body.

A study conducted by scientists at the University of Michigan led to an astounding conclusion: each can of sweet soda takes away 12 minutes of a person's life. Specialists discovered an irrefutable connection between the consumption of carbonated drinks and a significant increase in the risk of developing obesity, diabetes, and dangerous cardiovascular system pathologies.

The scientific team also established that sweet soda has a detrimental effect on metabolic processes in the body, provokes rapid insulin spikes in the blood, and increases overall inflammation, which is a precursor to various oncological diseases.

Additionally, researchers found that artificial colorings and preservatives contained in carbonated drinks cause irreparable damage to the intestinal microflora.
