Coca-Cola does horrible things to your penis
Whether it’s because they cause weight gain, tooth decay or sugar addiction, health experts have been warning us of the dangers of drinking too much Coke for years.
But despite warnings, we just can’t seem to resist the stuff – with the British Soft Drinks Association reporting that 55 percent of fizzy drinks sold in 2014 were cola.
However, this potential consequence could put you off for good – if you’re a man, that is – as scientists have revealed that drinking four cups of cola per day could reduce sperm count by up to a shocking 30 percent.
In a study of 2,554 young men, researchers at Copenhagen University Hospital in Denmark found that knocking back cans of Coke in large quantities – anything from 4 cups per day – can have a dramatic effect on a man’s sperm, with cola addicts indicating a sperm count of 35 million per millilitre, compared with 56 million per millilitre in moderate consumers.
And even though that’s still within the normal range, a reduced sperm count raises the risk of eventually becoming infertile.
