A popular soft drink that many people consume daily can significantly reduce life expectancy. Pharmacist Alvaro Fernandez, in an interview with the publication 20minutos, revealed the shocking truth about the impact of sugary soda on human health.

According to a recent study by scientists from the University of Michigan, each can of sugary soda consumed reduces life expectancy by a whole 12 minutes. Experts have established a direct link between the consumption of carbonated beverages and an increased risk of developing obesity, diabetes, and serious cardiovascular diseases.
