Cold drinks like Coke and Pepsi can increase the testosterone level of men. You might be shocked to know this! But this thing has come to the fore in a recent study. Researchers from Northwest Minzu University in China conducted a study to determine how carbonated drinks affect fertility. Also, it was discovered that these beverages can improve men's general sexual health and testicular development. Its results were released in the journal Acta Endocrinol.
In a recent study, researchers tested different groups of male rats. Other groups were given Coca-Cola and Pepsi in varying amounts, while the first group was given only cow water. The researchers measured the weight, measured the diameter of the testicles, and took blood tests. By day 15, it was found that the group of rats that only consumed the fizzy drink had grown significantly. In addition, it was discovered that male rats given large doses of the fizzy drink had improved testosterone secretion. Researchers believe that doing so can help prevent male prostate problems.
If past studies are to be believed, drinking soda can lead to a decline in reproductive health and sperm quality. But when it came to testosterone, the researchers of this most recent study found just the opposite. The researchers found that the results of the recent study completely refute the earlier studies.
Know this thing
Before downing, a Coke bottle, be aware that this study requires extensive research on the effects of fizzy drinks on the human body. According to the authors of the study, their findings lay a scientific basis for fully understanding the effects and their mechanisms on human development and reproductive processes. The need for additional research to prove the link between soda and fertility was also addressed.
