What are the dangers of drinking Coke for men?

If a newly married man drinks cola, his sperm will be directly damaged, thus affecting his reproductive ability. If the damaged sperm combines with the egg, it may cause fetal malformation or congenital deficiency. Well, different people have different opinions on this statement. So, what are the harms of cola to male sperm? Let me give you a detailed introduction.

According to a report by Overseas Chinese News, experts from Harvard Medical School conducted tests on three different formulations of cola drinks on the market and concluded that they killed sperm. As soon as this report came out, domestic experts expressed different opinions.

It is currently difficult to prove that Coke has a spermicidal effect.

"The experimental results cannot directly show whether Coca-Cola can kill sperm, because it contains too many possibilities."

Professor Xin Zhongcheng, deputy director of the Men's Center of Peking University First Hospital, explained after learning about the experiment that sperm production is regulated by a variety of complex mechanisms, with spermatogonial stem cells gradually differentiating and developing into sperm. Normal men can produce a large number of sperm every day, but usually only the best sperm can combine with the egg to fertilize and conceive.

The differentiation and development of sperm is affected by a variety of internal and external factors. Studies have shown that a variety of environmental pollutants can affect sperm differentiation and development as well as its fertilization function.

Environmental pollutants include estrogen drugs, pesticides, food additives, cosmetics, automobile exhaust, and incineration smoke. They can damage sperm differentiation and development as well as sperm motility through targets at the pretesticular, testicular, and posttesticular levels, causing male reproductive dysfunction. Adolescents in the differentiation and development process and couples who have recent fertility plans should stay away from environmental pollutants, including various beverages.

Some studies have suggested that cola may have negative effects on sperm. If we want to verify whether the ingredients in cola drinks will have an impact on sperm, we need to design a reasonable research method based on the principles of evidence-based medicine to verify whether long-term oral intake of cola and other beverages has a negative effect on the occurrence and function of sperm. At the same time, we must also pay attention to the impact of other factors on sperm occurrence.

However, this kind of experiment requires the use of a large number of samples, and then a comparative analysis. In addition, during the experiment, the population must be strictly divided into two groups: those who drink cola and those who do not. After obtaining the experimental data, a sample sampling survey is conducted, and the scientific method of mathematical statistics is used to finally draw the experimental conclusions.

Pregnant women who often drink cola can cause fetal stillbirth

In addition to men, cola also has a great impact on pregnant women. Dr. Zhao Tianwei, a member of the Beijing Haidian District Maternal and Child Health Technology Expert Group, introduced to us: "The caffeine in cola is a stimulant. Pregnant women will become nervous and hyperactive after drinking it. If they drink it for a long time, it will directly lead to an increased chance of the baby suffering from ADHD, and severe cases will cause fetal stillbirth.

Children should avoid drinking cola as much as possible.

Regarding whether cola affects the growth and development of adolescent boys, Xin Zhongcheng said: "Spermatorrhea in boys indicates that they have reached sexual maturity. Boys have sperm 3-4 years before spermatorrhea, but cola does not have a big impact on sperm. However, food chemicals and environmental chemicals can still affect reproductive function and unborn babies."

Dr. Gao Huiying from the Chinese Nutrition Society said: "Cola is a carbonated beverage that contains high levels of sugar and caffeine. If children drink it for a long time, they will become obese and their intellectual development will be affected in serious cases."

In addition, the editor also needs to remind everyone that the caffeine in cola will indirectly enter the baby's body through the mother's breast milk, thus affecting the baby's health. In addition, if the child is not yet born, caffeine will easily enter the fetus through the placenta, endangering the normal development of the brain and lungs.
