Romanians are among the top 10 soda consumers in Europe.
Sodas are extremely popular in our country, with Romania ranking 7th in this category, consuming over 3.7 billion liters of these beverages, according to data from the European association representing producers in the industry.
However, doctors warn that these drinks are extremely harmful to our health, calling them "chemical bombs."
"It's a good thing we banned energy drinks, even though there are big question marks. However, there are other products that are real chemical bombs for our health.
These sodas have high amounts of sugar, they come in plastic bottles with a short shelf life. We're talking about a cocktail of additives and colorants, and we can't know the cumulative effects," said Dr. Tudor Ciuhodaru, according to Adevărul.ro.
Moreover, doctors warn that these sodas increase the risk of obesity, gastritis, and dental problems.
"They say that the number of young people with cancer has increased. We should think about all these misfortunes sold as food products. Their doses are the recommended ones, but the mixture can be a bomb, which can have a real chain reaction.
We're talking about the risk of obesity, diabetes. Gastritis and dental problems also occur. Moreover, neuroendocrine disorders should not be neglected," the doctor added.
