A heart surgeon has raised the alarm about one of the world's most consumed drinks, calling it "liquid death" and advising that it be avoided completely.
Dr. Jeremy London, who specializes in general, vascular, and thoracic surgery, often shares health tips on social media. According to him, there are four things he categorically avoids: smoking, alcohol, refined bread and pasta, and carbonated drinks.
He emphasizes that smoking is the greatest danger to the body, damaging the lungs and significantly increasing the risk of cancer, heart attack and stroke. Alcohol, too, according to him, is toxic to every cell in the body and removing it from his personal life has been one of the most transformative decisions he has made.
However, his strongest criticism is directed at carbonated drinks, which he describes as extremely harmful and advises against consuming them at all.
In a later interview, he admitted that the term "liquid death" was used to attract attention, but stressed that the main problem lies in the high calorie content and large amount of sugar, which people often consume without realizing it.
Other experts share similar concerns. Dr. William Li points out that high consumption of carbonated drinks is linked to metabolic diseases, cardiovascular problems and an increased risk of cancer. He emphasizes that the problem is not only the sugar, but also other ingredients such as additives, colorings, flavorings and preservatives, which over time can have harmful effects on health.
In conclusion, experts suggest that limiting these drinks and choosing healthier alternatives can have a major impact on long-term well-being. /GazetaExpress/
