Harmful effects of cold drinks on human body

According to many studies consuming cold drink on a regular basis can damage your body without you even noticing it. Healing Hands Advanced Physiotherapy Clinic made a list of harmful effects of cold drinks for human body.

1. Kidney Problems:

Consuming cold drinks on a daily basis can give you the Kidney Stone. Even diet coke or diet Pepsi is not safe. Coke zero may not contain sugar but it contains artificial sweeteners which is very unhealthy for your kidneys. Especially if you are drinking it daily.

2. Obesity:

Healing Hands is not saying that drinking coke and other cold drinks will give you cancer. But, did you know that benzene molecules are present in cold drink bottles which can cause cancer. No good doctor will tell you to drink these soft drinks but if you really want it so badly then doctors suggest to stick to one can of cold drink  a week to reduce the risk of cancer.
