A man in his 40s from India had to undergo surgery after doctors discovered he had developed 35 kidney stones—an outcome linked to his long-term habit of drinking about 3 liters of Coca-Cola daily. Medical experts attributed the condition to excessive intake of sugar and phosphoric acid, ingredients known to interfere with the body’s mineral balance and encourage the formation of calcium oxalate stones.

This case highlights the potential dangers of consuming large amounts of soft drinks over time. Habitual intake of sugary sodas can contribute to dehydration and disrupt metabolic functions, occasionally leading to severe health consequences that require medical intervention.
