“After a Decade of Fizzy Drinks, This Man’s Health Scare Will Leave You Speechless – Find Out What Happened!”

Imagine downing a jaw-dropping seven liters of fizzy drinks every single day for a decade—sounds more like a feat of endurance for a soda champion than a recipe for good health, right? That’s precisely the case one doctor encountered, shedding light on the stark consequences that an extreme love for sugary beverages can have on the human body. With TikTok and YouTube influencers like @chubbyemu sharing bizarre and cautionary tales from their medical escapades—think self-surgery enthusiasts and chronic alcohol consumers—it begs the question: just how far can we push the limits of our bodies before they wave the white flag? In a world where moderation often seems to take a backseat to indulgence, this alarming story serves as a jarring reminder of the havoc that excessive consumption can wreak on our well-being. So, buckle up for an eye-opening journey into the health scares that can arise when fizzy drinks become a daily staple. LEARN MORE.

A doctor has spoken about a patient’s case they encountered where a man had been drinking up to seven litres of fizzy drinks a day for 10 years.

YouTuber @chubbyemu does plenty of this, reciting cases they or their colleagues have seen during their careers, including the case of a man who tried to cut out his own skin cancer with a pocket knife, and someone who had been drinking three litres of rum every day since they were 13.

As for this particular man, he’d been drinking so many fizzy drinks each day that he started feeling unwell after about a decade of this (probably even sooner).

After about a week of struggling to stand up and urinating a heck of a lot, he called an ambulance.

Doctors noted that his muscles were particularly weak, and that he had diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.

Blood tests showed that he had lots of sugar in his blood and nowhere near enough potassium. His kidneys were also shutting down and not doing their job properly.

His muscles were also breaking down, putting his life in danger.

Feeling incredibly thirsty and nursing one hell of a headache, he was calling his wife to bring him more drinks to have in his hospital bed.

Doctors saw how much he had been drinking, and later told him to stop, as well as telling his wife to stop bringing the drinks in.

They found that his body recovered a bit after he stopped drinking the fizzy drinks.

The doctor explaining that if ‘consumed reasonably and sparingly’, you’ll probably be alright, but that ‘if you don’t need to put it in your body, don’t put it in your body’.

He’s not the only one who ended up suffering from this sort of thing.

A Buckinghamshire bloke who was dubbed ‘Dr Pepper Man’ because he drank so much of the stuff explained that his attempts to quit the fizzy drinks without help failed almost immediately.

Tom Bowey would go for a can of fizzy drink as soon as he woke up, another for his morning commute to work, and then two each in the morning and afternoon at his job, along with whatever he could drink when he got home.

It was giving him headaches, contributing to a weight gain, and with all that sugar and caffeine in his system, he was having serious trouble sleeping.

His dentist also told him that his teeth had decayed to the point that they looked more like they ought to belong to someone old enough to be collecting a pension.

Moral of the story is, it might be best not to drink really sugary drinks in huge quantities – remember the virtue of moderation.
