Drinking Coca-Cola increases the risk of cancer! The World Health Organization (WHO) has confirmed this. WHO has issued a warning regarding this. He said the artificial sweetener aspartame, which sweetens Coca-Cola and other drinks and foods, poses a cancer risk.
WHO has warned that artificial sweeteners added to food and beverages can invite diseases like cancer. Food and beverage companies use artificial sweeteners in place of sugar, most of which contain aspartame.
Aspartame contains no calories. cold drink
Contains approximately 95% aspartame. WHO has warned that these artificial sweeteners in food items can invite diseases like cancer. Diet Coke or chewing gum are full of artificial sweeteners. To avoid the deadly disease, it is important to know in which products the artificial sweetener aspartame is used in the highest quantities.
A study conducted on the effects of aspartame on more than one lakh people revealed that the risk of cancer is highest among those who use the artificial sweetener.
Aspartame is a popular artificial sweetener that has been declared a probable carcinogen by the WHO.
The daily intake limit for aspartame has been set at 50 mg per kilogram of body weight per day, while the European Union has set a limit of 40 mg per kilogram per day.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) also sought to declare it a carcinogen. This sweetener will be placed on the list of possible causes of cancer. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved aspartame for human consumption in 1981. But it has been amended five times since then. More than 90 countries including India have approved its use. The artificial sweetener aspartame has no calories, but it is about 200 times sweeter than table sugar. FSSAI has mandated that products containing aspartame must clearly mention the name of the sweetener. The increasing use of artificial sweeteners has raised concerns around the world.
In July 2023, an assessment of the health effects of the non-sugar sweetener aspartame was released by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and a joint expert committee of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization. (FAO).
Partially responsible for carcinogenicity in humans. IARC has classified aspartame as carcinogenic to humans. In which the daily intake of 40 mg/kg was confirmed. The committee confirmed that it is safe for a person to consume this limit daily. Intake was recommended according to body weight.
Various food and beverage products since the 1980s
The two are used widely, including in diet drinks, chewing gum, gelatin, ice cream, yogurt, breakfast cereals, toothpaste and dairy products such as cough syrups.
Every year 1 in 6 people die from cancer.
Both organizations conducted independent but complementary reviews to assess the potential carcinogenic risk and other health risks associated with aspartame consumption. This question
This was the third time IARC had evaluated aspartame and the third time JECF had evaluated it.
Specifically, hepatocellular carcinoma, a type of liver cancer, has led to aspartame being classified as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B). There was limited evidence of cancer in experimental animals and evidence of possible mechanisms of cancer.
The evidence for an association between aspartame consumption and cancer in humans is not strong.
The IARC and JECFA evaluations of the effects of aspartame were based on scientific data collected from multiple sources, including peer-reviewed papers, government reports, and studies conducted for regulatory purposes. The studies were reviewed by independent experts.
Truth
Aspartame is a non-nutritive sweetener (NNS). It has not been conclusively linked to any serious side effects or health problems, but people with certain conditions should use caution when taking it.
It is claimed that consumption of aspartame causes adverse side effects.
As the body processes aspartame, some of it breaks down into methanol. Consumption of fruits, fruit juices, fermented beverages, and some vegetables also produces methanol.
A 2015 study showed that aspartame was the largest source of methanol in the American diet. Methanol is toxic in large amounts, although even small amounts may be of concern when mixed with free methanol due to increased absorption.
Free methanol is present in some foods and is also formed when aspartame is heated.
An infographic by British pharmacist Neeraj Naik shows how much harm 330 ml of Coca-Cola can do to the body within 1 hour of consumption. The pungent sweetness makes a person vomit as soon as it enters the body. However, the phosphoric acid present in the drink reduces the sweetness. Blood sugar levels increase dramatically within 20 minutes of drinking cola, causing increased insulin levels. The liver then converts the extra sugar into fat.
heroin like effect
Within 40 minutes, the body absorbs all the caffeine from the cola. This caffeine increases blood pressure. Coca-Cola blocks adenosine receptors in the brain, which prevents drowsiness. Its effects are comparable to heroin. This makes the person want to drink another can.
After one hour of drinking the drink, sugar will start decreasing, which will cause irritability and drowsiness. Vital nutrients from the body as well as water from the cola will be released through urine.
The infographic applies to all caffeinated fizzy drinks, not just Coca-Cola.
Coke not only contains high fructose corn syrup, but it is also full of refined salt and caffeine. Its regular consumption can lead to high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and obesity.
According to a 2018 study, these drinks increase levels of certain compounds and chemicals that interfere with brain activity, increasing the risk of stroke and dementia.
Regular consumption of sugary beverages can affect the quality and duration of a person’s sleep cycle. Some compounds also affect memory and motor coordination, which may contribute to the development of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children.
Sugar-sweetened beverages like cola play a role in the development of this chronic disease.
A 2016 study on rats found that rats that drank Coca-Cola showed signs of decreased kidney and liver function compared to rats that did not drink soda.
This drink rapidly increases blood sugar levels and affects the pleasure centers of the brain in a similar way to heroin. Recent research has added evidence of the link between sugary beverages and diabetes and has confirmed the adverse effects of these beverages on brain, kidney and liver activity.
