The Most Dangerous Drinks in Hot Weather - Expert Opinion

Medical professionals sound the alarm: sweet drinks in hot weather can become a real threat to the body, causing dangerous glucose spikes. Professor Marina Moiseyak from Rosbiotech University issued such a serious warning.

As reported by TUT.AZ with reference to Vechernyaya Moskva, chilled sweet carbonated drinks dull the sensitivity of taste receptors, causing consumers to not realize the true level of sugar in the product they are drinking.

Expert Marina Moiseyak emphasized that such unconscious sugar consumption provokes a rapid rise in blood glucose levels, causing a short-term energy surge that quickly gives way to exhausting fatigue.

According to Moiseyak, cold sweet sodas seriously damage the stomach and significantly increase the likelihood of developing type II diabetes. The specialist recommends choosing lightly carbonated drinks with natural sugars (5-7 percent) containing juice. Such alternatives are better perceived by the body, give a feeling of satiety, and help control appetite. However, plain water remains the undisputed leader among safe drinks, reports Lenta.ru.

Dietitian Mikhail Ginzburg takes a similar position, sharing advice on rational nutrition during hot periods. He also emphasized that in summer heat, simple water is the ideal solution for combating thirst.
