An endocrinologist told us what fatal mistake every second Russian makes.
Many people prefer to quench their thirst with sweet drinks, claiming that they do not get drunk with ordinary water.
As endocrinologist Ekaterina Yang wrote on her Telegram channel, the consequences of drinking sweet sodas in the heat are real.
For example, the composition of the intestinal microbiome is destroyed and the good bacteria that are in it are suppressed as a result.
This leads to putrefactive processes inside the intestines.
It is even worse if people consume such drinks with ice. In addition to bloating and heartburn, cramps and pain in the stomach area may also occur.
However, one of the most dangerous consequences is that sugary soda actually makes you feel even thirstier, which makes you want to drink more and more.
And this, in turn, causes a strong jump in blood sugar. The endocrinologist also warned that sweet drinks contain a lot of hidden sugar and dyes that are harmful to the body.
