Too much Coca Cole can damage the kidneys

kidney stones
Even if we talk about light variations of cola, over-consuming coca Cole may affect the kidneys. According to a U.S. study published in the journal Epidemiology consuming daily amounts of too much coca Cole increases the risk of chronic kidney diseases, and improves the makings of kidney stones. It is already known that consuming carbonated drinks in large quantities, or potions that are fattening, can cause diabetes. When it comes to coca cola, we are starting to talk about kidney injuries which support the opinion that it contained ingredients more harmful than soda. Attention is therefore transferred to the phosphoric acid, which in large quantities is in the drinks and generally is associated with the emergence of kidney stones.


Scientists with the National Institute of Health compare the food habits of 465 respondents with chronic kidney diseases with the habits of 465 healthy subjects. Bearing in mind the different risk factors of each, scientists have come to the conclusion that drinking two or more cans of coca Cole a day, even in the light version, doubles the risk of chronic kidney diseases. For deeper understanding the role of phosphor acid it will be need to do further research, but for now it is known that it affects the extraction of calcium from bones, increasing the risk of kidney stones and other causes of chronic diseases such as reduction of kidney function.
