The TikTok trend called “What does soda do to your stomach” has taken over the platform and left many users upset.
People often choose soft drinks as an addition to their meals or to cool off during the hot summer months.
But the recent trend on TikTok has left a number of people divided after they faced the disadvantages of regularly consuming soda in their diets.
TikTok’s ‘What Soda Does to Your Stomach’ trend takes over
A recent video titled “What does soda do to your stomach” has taken over TikTok. The clip has garnered 1.5 million views and nearly 350,000 likes since it was posted on Sunday.
The video includes a picture of a person looking somewhat upset when they stand up and leave a table in a restaurant. “I’m after you saw what soda does to your stomach,” the video caption reads.
Some users seem to have used similar gifs and images to share their reactions after experiencing the side effects of having too many sodas in their diets.
So, what does soda actually do to your stomach?
The way soft drinks interact with your stomach comes down to individual levels of stomach acid.
According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, drinking soft drinks moves more air into the digestive system, which can cause bloating and belching.
While sodas are refreshing options for the summer, they can also cause gas and gradually cause stomach bloating.
Research has also shown that soda can cause gastroesophageal reflux disease, one of the most common illnesses in the United States.
People diagnosed with acid reflux are advised to eliminate this type of beverage as it may further upset their stomach.
TikTok users are reacting to this trend
It is safe to say that the trending video has infuriated some users after they came across a search for soft drinks.
One person commented: “I don’t want to see, I drink a lot.”
Another user wrote: “I usually feel like vomiting when I drink any soda, I want to know why.”
Another wrote: “I stopped drinking it because every time I started drinking soda my stomach started to burn.”
Another person noted: “I drink one like once a week and sometimes once every two weeks.”
