Drinking a litre of cola a day could reduce male fertility

Baack · Apr 2, 2010

On average, these men's sperm counts were almost 30 per cent lower than in men who didn't drink cola.
While most of the sperm counts would still be considered normal by the World Health Organization, men with fewer sperm generally have a higher risk of being infertile

The link is unlikely to be due to caffeine, the researchers say, because coffee did not have the same effect, even though its caffeine content is higher.
Instead, other ingredients in the beverage or an unhealthy lifestyle could be involved.
"It's important to note that the men who drank a lot of cola were also different in many other ways," said Dr Tina Kold Jensen at Copenhagen University Hospital in Denmark.
Kold Jensen, who led the new research, said only a few studies have looked at caffeine's impact on reproductive health in men. The participants have generally been a very select group, such as infertile men, and the results have been conflicting.
Because Danish youth has been upping their consumption of caffeine-containing soft drinks over the last decades, the researchers decided to study how this might affect their reproductive health.

I'm not so sure its fertility thats the problem
After drinking that much soda the guy is so busy going back and forth from the bathroom he doesn't have time for sex

I've drank more than that and no medical problems to show for it. However, when I started drinking more water and milk I suddenly have health problems show up within a month.

There are some pretty gross chemicals in cola.
I use it to unblock drains, works far better that the so-called corrosive cleaners!

that's because of the acidity of colas. Works great for cleaning battery terminals too.
