I drink too much cola a day. How harmful?

I am drinking 5 liter of cola today. Yesterday I drank 3 liters. I sometimes may drink as little as 1.5 liters in a day.

Drinking diet soda 🥤 is not the answer because it is artificially sweetened and containers Aspartame which is a neurotoxin and bad for your health. Aspartame goes by other names but it is still very bad for your body.

After reading the other opinion's I thought you might get the idea to switch to diet soda.

You know drinking that much cola is bad for you. My guess it has a flavor enhancer which keeps you addicted to it.

I guess you are the only one that can control what you put in your body.
Have you at least tried any healthier drinks. My goodness, the grocery stores have aisles with just drinks. You'll probably find healthier drinks in other sections of the store.

Drinking that much cola every day isn't good for you, bro. Here are a few reasons why:

- Sugar overload - There's a ton of sugar in soda. All that liquid candy is packing on the pounds and wreaking havoc on your teeth.

- No nutrients - Soda has empty calories without vitamins/minerals. You're missing out on good stuff your body needs.

- Caffeine crash - All that caffeine buzz will fade fast and leave you dragging ass. Not great for school/sports.

- Diabetes risk - Piling on weight from soda ups your chances of getting type 2 beetus down the line.

- Pop belly - All the carbonation can bloat you up like you're pregnant, dude. No bueno.

I'd cut back big time if I was you. Maybe switch to water or milk most of the time instead. One can a day max if you gotta have pop. And no more than a liter at once - pace yourself, man! Staying fit and healthy now will serve you well later on.

It is not good for you. Sugar in those quantities can result in diabetes and it certainly will result in unwanted weight gain.

Thanks for the MHO😎

Very bad since it has high sugar and acid. It increases weight gain by a lot, puts you at higher risk of type 2 Diabetes, makes it harder to fall asleep at night, causes tooth decay and caffeine addiction which it looks like you already have the latter.

It's also bad for your metabolism, blood pressure, cholesterol, liver, and increases the risk of heart disease.

Just cutting soda and exercising you'd probably a big change in your body, but it would be better with an altogether healthier diet in general.

It still creates a lot of other health problems
