Scientists have discovered many harmful effects of carbonated beverages on the human body. However, the effect of this beverage on children has not been fully understood.

Researchers at the University of Sydney track the health of about 2,000 children aged 12 in 21 Primary schools in Sydney under the influence of carbonated beverages and carbohydrate sugars (bread, rice and noodles). tube), continue the great project on modern children's health research. Last year they studied the phenomenon of watching television too much.

Carbonated drinks are harmful to children's hearts and eyes.

In the new study, scientists found that in 12-year-old children, drinking one or more carbonated soft drinks a day had blood vessels in the back of their eyes shrinking. This abnormality does not affect vision but is the symptom that causes the risk of heart disease and high blood pressure in later life.

The diameter of blood vessels on the retina is a predictive sign of future cardiovascular and high blood pressure in adults. Australian scientists discovered the association between this syndrome and the use of carbonated carbohydrates and sugar at school age.

There are plans to study the health situation of children aged 12 still being implemented. First of all, scientists are interested in protecting small blood vessels for children in the future, until they are 17 years old. Clearly, for these children in the supply of nutrients, they are consuming too much carbohydrate and carbonated beverages.
