Drinking Coke, Pepsi could increase testicle size, testosterone level: study

A study by the Northwest Minzu University in China has revealed that drinking Coca-Cola and Pepsi can lead to larger testicles and higher testosterone levels.

The university was determining the impact of carbonated beverages on fertility and sexual organs in men.

The study looked at five groups of 30 mice drinking different kinds of beverages for 15 days.

One group drank water, another drank 50 percent Pepsi mixed with tap water, and a third group drank pure Pepsi.

Then a fourth group was given Coke mixed with tap water, and the fifth group drank pure Coke.

The rodents were tested on days one, five, seven, 10, and 15 by weighing their testicles and drawing blood.

The researchers discovered that the mice that drank pure Coca-Cola and Pepsi Cola had higher levels of the male hormone than those that drank water.

Thus, the researchers concluded that drinking Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola could promote testis development and enhance testosterone secretion.

They also noted that their findings provide the scientific basis for fully understanding the effects and mechanisms of carbonated beverages on human development and reproductive functions and how they benefit the prevention of prostate dysfunction and cancer.
