I read this article on a website on health and decided to share with our readers, after a lot of people are still unaware of the absurd as a refrigerant can be extremely harmful to health. Enjoy that we are beginning a new year (2009) and follow as a resolution.

Wanting to lose weight, save money, or help the environment? Leave the soda can help achieve these goals and more.

1. Extra pounds. According to a 2005 study by a University of Texas, drink one or more cans of soda per day increases the risk of being overweight or obese by 32%. And if you think that drinking diet options is something better, think again: The researchers found that those who drink one or more cans of diet soda per day increases to 54% the risk of obesity.

2. Risk of diabetes or heart disease. In 2007, The American Heart Association (American Heart Association) published in its journal Circulation, a study indicating that people who drink soda every day, whether regular or diet, increase by 44% the risk of developing metabolic syndrome - a condition that increases the risk of heart disease and diabetes.

3. It damages the environment. Believe it or not, most people still do not recycle the cans you use. In fact, it is estimated that about 50 billion cans and soda bottles are thrown in the trash every year. Even if you recycle, you still need a lot of energy spent to collect and process.

4. The seat remains. When it comes to quenching thirst, water is always the best option, but some natural juices and teas may also help. Soda, on the other hand, will only increase your thirst because caffeine is a diuretic and sugar interferes with the body's ability to absorb liquids.

5. Worsening digestion. The effect of the refrigerant in the digestion is continually debated, but experts say that the phosphoric acid that soft drinks have to change the balance acid alkaline present in the stomach. The result of this imbalance, for users of soft drink would be the risk of developing stomach problems such as reflux, inflammation, intestinal erosion and others.

6. It's an addiction. A recent study published in Archives of Family Medicine (Archives of Family Medicine) showed that the soft drink companies include caffeine in their drinks for only one reason: to vitiate the consumer. Even though this type of addiction may sound good, experts are quick to point caffeine as a stimulant, and so addicted, symptoms: fatigue, depression, irritability, tremors, sleeplessness, headaches, among the most reported.

7. No feeds. 600 ml of soda contains 250 calories on average, and now look at the packaging of soda, and you will not find vitamins or minerals. In fact, the only things that have a soft drink are sugar and caffeine, two ingredients not recommended for daily use by various health agencies.

8. It damages your teeth and bones. According to a recent study by Tufts University, women who drink soda every day have at least 5% of bone density than women who do not drink soda. As explained by researchers, phosphoric acid, present in the coolant, prevents the calcium is absorbed by the body. Of course, the teeth are also affected: A study published in 2006 by General DENTRISTRY reported that citric acid and / or phosphoric acid present in refrigeranrtes are corrosive to the teeth.

9. Increased risk of cancer. In the heat of controversy, scientists say the refrigerant increases the risk of cancer. A 2006 study by the Karolinska Institute (Sweden) supports the theory: Respondents who drink large quantities of syrup-based drinks (colas), 90% increase in the chance of developing pancreatic cancer than those who do not drink.

10. It's expensive. Compared to the juice or milk may seem cheap, but when you consider the absence of nutritional value, soft drinks look more like a robbery. And keep in mind that the cost of drinks rockets. The average cost of a soda is $ 2.70, and if you consume two cans per day, in a year its spending will be approximately U.S. $ 1970.00.
