Everyone has heard about the dangers of soda, that it can cause obesity or diabetes, but recent research by scientists has confirmed that in just a month of regular use, a fizzy drink can completely change the well-functioning metabolic system in the body.

As a result of joint research by specialists from the universities of Bangor and Utah, it was found that the constant use of carbonated sweet water leads to the fact that carbohydrates, rather than fats, become the main energy supplier for muscles.. There is a cardinal restructuring of the consumption system in the body and adaptation to new conditions.

For the experiment, 11 20-year-old volunteers who do not consume carbonated drinks in everyday life were selected.. For a whole month they were given sweet water to drink.

As a result, a noticeable deviation of metabolism from the norm was revealed, in particular, an acceleration of carbohydrate metabolism was noted, while the changes were long-term. The process turned out to be a muscle response to an increase in blood glucose levels, which led to a decrease in metabolic efficiency not only at the time of the experiment, but also in the future..

However, the loss of the body's ability to burn fat inevitably leads to obesity..

One of the participants in the development, Hans-Peter Kubis, explains that absolutely all non-alcoholic drinks containing sugar in large quantities have this effect.. These include fruit juices.. According to Dr. Kubis, it is necessary to inform consumers of sweet carbonated drinks about their harm and conduct campaigns that help minimize their consumption..
