Do carbonated drinks kill sperm? The answer is yes!

In life, carbonated drinks are loved by many people, especially men. However, excessive drinking of carbonated drinks can kill sperm and easily cause male infertility, so it must be consumed in moderation.

1. Carbonated drinks kill sperm. The caffeine contained in some carbonated drinks can kill sperm, so it is not advisable to drink carbonated drinks often.

The differentiation and development of sperm is affected by a variety of internal and external factors. Studies have shown that a variety of environmental pollutants can affect sperm differentiation and development as well as its fertilization function. Environmental pollutants include estrogen drugs, pesticides, food additives, cosmetics, automobile exhaust, and incineration smoke, etc. They can damage sperm differentiation and development and sperm motility through targets at the pretesticular, testicular, and posttesticular levels, causing male reproductive dysfunction. Adolescents in the differentiation and development process and couples who have recent fertility plans should stay away from environmental pollutants, including various carbonated beverages.

2. Pregnant women who often drink carbonated beverages can cause fetal stillbirth

In addition to men, carbonated drinks also have a great impact on pregnant women. Experts say: "The caffeine in some carbonated drinks is a stimulant. After pregnant women drink it, it will cause nervous excitement and become hyperactive. If they drink it for a long time, it will directly lead to an increased chance of the child suffering from ADHD, and severe cases will cause fetal stillbirth. In addition, the caffeine in some carbonated drinks will also indirectly enter the baby's body with the mother's breast milk, thereby affecting the baby's health. In addition, if the child is not yet born, caffeine will easily enter the fetus through the placenta, endangering the normal development of the brain and lungs. Experts say, "Couples who want children should not only quit smoking and drinking, but also drink less caffeinated beverages. Pregnant mothers should move less and eat more high-protein foods. They should also eat more high-calorie foods when they are close to delivery to ensure that they can replenish the energy they consume during physical exertion.

3. Children should avoid drinking carbonated beverages as much as possible

Regarding whether carbonated drinks affect the growth and development of adolescent boys, experts said: "The occurrence of spermatorrhea in boys indicates that they have reached sexual maturity. Boys have sperm 3-4 years before spermatorrhea, but carbonated drinks do not have a great impact on sperm. However, food chemicals and environmental chemicals still affect reproductive function and unborn babies.
