Scientists Claim Drinking A Cola Will Shorten Your Life Span By This Exact Amount

Sometimes there’s nothing better than cracking open a cold soda, especially on a hot day, but a study focusing on the impacts of individual health choices might make you think twice the next time you’re craving something fizzy.

The study, conducted by researchers Katerina Stylianou and Olivier Jolliet, analyzed a variety of individual foods based on their composition to help calculate the net benefits or impacts that come with consuming it.

Through their findings, the researchers developed a ‘Health Nutritional Index’, which breaks down exactly how many minutes of life might be lost or gained per serving of each food.
