Patient's question:
Hello everyone.I heard from a friend that drinking too much soda can cause infertility. Is there any evidence for this? Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
If it is said that Coca-Cola has a contraceptive effect or causes infertility, then so far there is no evidence to support this claim. The main component of Coca-Cola is carbonic acid, with the remaining ingredients being some formulations. These substances can currently pass national food safety inspections, so it cannot be proven to have a contraceptive effect. Therefore, it is suggested that the claim of Coca-Cola being contraceptive lacks scientific basis and is merely rumour. However, long-term consumption of carbonated beverages can easily lead to osteoporosis.
