The combination of acids and sugars in carbonated drinks creates an environment conducive to the destruction of tooth enamel. Phosphoric and carbonic acids attack the enamel, and sugars feed the bacteria, which produce more acids. Regular consumption significantly increases the risk of tooth decay and infections.
Risks to the cardiovascular system
Long-term use of carbonated beverages has been linked to high blood pressure, “bad” cholesterol (LDL), and cardiovascular disease. Studies show that daily consumption of one serving of carbonated water increases the risk of heart attack or death from heart causes by 20%.
Alternatives for healthy bones
Replacing carbonated drinks with calcium-rich beverages – such as milk or fortified plant-based alternatives – supports bone health, especially in children and teenagers. Carbonated mineral water with a high calcium content is also an excellent choice, providing hydration without harm.
Risk of gout
Sugary drinks increase uric acid levels, a major risk factor for gout. Fructose stimulates its formation, and regular consumption of soda increases the risk of gout by 75% in women and almost 50% in men.
