If you’ve been keeping distance from your favourite fizzy drinks for the sake of your protruding tummy, here’s a reason to sip on them for a spiced up sexual life.


According to a recent study, these beverages may raise men’s testosterone levels. Sure, we share your shock. Researchers from Northwest Minzu University in China undertook a study to determine how carbonated beverages affect fertility. Also, it was discovered that these beverages may improve men’s general sexual health and testicle growth. The results were released in the Acta Endocrinol journal.

If past studies are to be believed, soda drinking was connected to declining reproductive health and sperm quality. But when it came to testosterone, the researchers of this most recent study discovered the exact reverse. In fact, the researchers found that the results of the most recent study completely defied those of earlier ones.

During the course of 15 days, the researchers (of the most recent study) tested various groups of male mice. The other groups received varying amounts of Coca-Cola and Pepsi, while the first group received simply water. The researchers assessed weight, evaluated testicle diameter, and performed blood tests during this time.

By the fifteenth day, it was discovered that the group of mice who had only consumed the fizzy beverages had “substantially risen.” Also, it was discovered that male mice with large doses of the drinks had improved testosterone secretion. The researchers believe that doing so may further aid in preventing male prostate problems.

You got to hold your horses before you gulp down the entire bottle of cola. This study requires extensive research on the effects of cola on human bodies. According to the study’s authors, their findings “gave the scientific basis for completely comprehending impacts and their mechanism on human development and reproduction processes. The necessity for additional research to prove a connection between soda and fertility was also addressed.
