| Cool drink effects the health |
A new research study has said that drinking
excessive amount of cola and eating honey made from the pollen of Rhododendrons
can cause unusual syncope (fainting) and symptoms of arrhythmia.
Some common causes of drinking cool drinks are arrhythmia,
such as stress, caffeine, tobacco, alcohol and certain medications, including
some diet pills and cough and cold medicines. Not all arrhythmias are dangerous
but if you think you have one, you should get it checked by a doctor. Symptoms
include palpitations or awareness of your heartbeat, tiredness, dizziness and
fainting.
Soft drink consumption become a highly visible and
controversial public health and public policy issue. Soft drinks have been
banned from schools in Britain and France, and in the United States, school
systems as large as those in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Miami have banned
or severely limited soft drink sales. Many US states have considered statewide
bans or limits on soft drink sales in schools, with California passing such
legislation in 2005.
Soft drink consumption also has been
examined in relation to a variety of other foods, macro nutrients, and
micro nutrients. In the case of many of these outcomes, there were only.
a small number of
studies. Therefore the aggregated effect sizes across all studies without
examining the impact of research design or any other potential moderator
variables. Thus, these aggregated effects should be interpreted with caution. A
complete list of the nutritional variables investigated is available from the
authors.
Soft drinks are viewed
by many as a major contributor to obesity and related health problems and have
consequently been targeted as a means to help curtail the rising prevalence of
obesity, particularly among children.
Soft drinks are very hard on our
health. They contain little to no vitamins or other essential nutrients.
However, it is what they do contain that is the problem:
caffeine, carbonation, simple sugars — or worse, sugar substitutes — and often
food additives such as artificial coloring, flavoring, and preservatives.
