Need another reason to kick the cola habit? The phosphates in colas and other soft drinks that give them their tangy bite can cause premature aging. Researchers at Harvard University found that phosphates accelerate aging by causing skin and muscles to shrivel, and also damage the heart and kidneys.
"Humans need a healthy diet, and keeping the balance of phosphate in the diet may be important for a healthy life and longevity," M. Shawkat Razzaque, M.D., Ph.D., from the Department of Medicine, Infection and Immunity at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine, said in a statement.
