Is Coca-Cola harmful to children? Answers Dr. Komarovsky

"Doctor! Your opinion is very interesting. I live in Europe, and it amazes me that everyone here believes that Coca-Cola is not harmful, everyone drinks it all the time, and they even say that it helps when your stomach hurts. What do you think about this?"

Answers E.O. Komarovsky:

KomarovskyJudging by their life expectancy and their infant mortality, Coca-Cola does not really affect them ... I’ll immediately notice that there is no particular desire to write about Coca-Cola, primarily because any mention of the brand will immediately cause a flow letters. If you say that it’s good, then you bought Coca-Cola, if you say badly, it means that you sold either Pepsi-Cola or lemonade in general.

Nevertheless, I don’t see anything wrong with Coca-Cola. Except for one: huge amounts of sugar. The child receives concentrated energy in the form of easily digestible carbohydrates and this energy must be spent. It is clear that the safe use of Coca-Cola (like any other sweet drink) requires two preconditions: firstly, the absence of excess weight and, secondly, the availability of opportunities for physical activity.

During illness, in the presence of dehydration, in the development of an acetone state, in the absence of opportunities for good nutrition, the child will not be disturbed by “concentrated energy in the form of easily digestible carbohydrates”. Of course, an oral rehydration agent is more effective and safer. But if the child refuses to drink this useful powder, but I agree with Coca-Cola! So why not ...

And it turns out that for a child with a high level of acetone, a timely drink of a glass of Coca-Cola may well turn out to be a medicine that will allow avoiding a hospital and droppers. Just have to strain, read about this very acetone and figure out what's what. In general, do not go too far. Create conditions so that children go in for sports and let themselves drink Coca-Cola.And parents are needed for that in order to limit children's “want” to adult common sense.

    Coca-Cola is a harmful drink, which clean the toilets and sinks from scale. Normal parents will not give this poison to their child. But Komarovsky is wrong, since he advises her to drink.

    ? Helen, he did not advise. Read the article again)

    Coca-Cola is a very healthy liquid. If there are leaks in the engine cooling system, pour a couple of liters into the antifreeze tank, unzip it, and passing through the system it seals all cracks. Then you won’t even bite off the water. But what happens when this rubbish passes through the intestines, I’m afraid to even guess ..
