Is it Safe Drink Soda for Healthy?
What you are addicted to drink soda? Now you should be careful. Recent research indicates that drinking a can of soda every day can increase the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Carbonated beverage / soda usually use additional materials:
1. Carbohydrates.
Impossible, if there is a soft drink company says that its products without additives. If there is not a soft drink company to use additional materials would continue to use the sugar and carbohydrates. Only the amount of carbohydrates in soft drinks is quite high. While other important substances such as proteins, vitamins and minerals, a rare soft drinks. And whose name carbonated beverages / soda almost no nutrition in it. This sugar facilitates the disbursement of calcium from the body, so it easily happened bone fragility.
2. EDTA.
Carbonated beverage / soda contains a lot of extra material starts from a flavoring, coloring up to the preservative. In order to drink his soda can still be issued, no special materials are added, the EDTA which serves to extend the durability of soda in the drink. However, if the body of excess consumption of this material, can disrupt body functions. The first one, can inhibit the absorption of vitamins in the body. Then, also affect the balance of calcium, needed for growing bones of children will be disrupted. Worse, if this imbalance when prolonged and continuous, will interfere with kidney function.
3. Citric acid.
Carbonated drinks / soda, sometimes sour / acidic. I think this is actually not the original, but the result was given additional material. Purpose of the acid in the drink to give a sour taste. With the sour taste, the sweetness of sugar will be more tempting.
As published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine, researchers from the University of Miami United States to monitor the soda drinking habits of more than 2,500 people and look at possible risk for vascular disease, heart attack and stroke over a period of 10 years.
After taking into account existing factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure, BMI, and others, researchers found that those who drank diet soda every day, 43 percent higher risk of having problems in blood vessels than those who did not drink it. However, those who consumed about 6 cups of diet soda per week and 1 glass of diet soda per month to have the same risk to people who never drink soda.

Researchers said that while there is a relationship between diet soda consumption on the risk of heart attack or stroke, but this finding does not necessarily indicate a diet soda cause heart attack or stroke. Because according to them, no studies have found an association between soft drink consumption and heart attack, so that further research is needed, explains lead researcher Hannah Gardner, PhD, of the Miller School of Medicine, University of Miami.
Researchers suspect that the risk of heart attacks in more soda drinkers because of the risk of weight gain caused by the soda itself, thereby triggering a heart attack. Other considerations, soda drinkers may have a poor diet.
