As we know drinking soda is not good for health. Please remember that there are a number of foods and drinks that should not be consumed together with soda. Either mixed or enjoyed with soda.
The Step to Health page states that consuming soda with food and drinks can cause digestive disorders and internal imbalances in the body. People are also well aware that soda is not included in the category of healthy drinks because it contains a lot of sugar and fructose syrup.
If you consume too much soda, it will affect the liver's function. This occurs due to too much sugar content in soda. What happens to the liver when you consume soda?
Dangers to the Liver When Consuming Soda

According to Healthline, consuming soda will not make you full and interfere with your diet program. The liver itself helps the body's metabolism and eliminates toxins from the body. The liver can also break down the carbohydrates, proteins and fats consumed, and convert them all into glycogen, vitamins and minerals for use.
There are four dangers that occur to the liver when Beauties consume soda, as reported by CNN Indonesia, including:
The artificial sugar content in soda makes it difficult for the liver to filter toxins and causes fat to accumulate. If left unchecked, it will cause cirrhosis of the liver, varicose veins, and even the risk of liver cancer. Drinking excessive soda can also increase the risk of liver insulin which can lead to type 2 diabetes and kidney failure. Soda containing high fructose corn syrup causes damage to the intestinal wall barrier and liver inflammation. Consuming too much soda increases the risk of scar tissue growing in the liver, known as cirrhosis. This condition can interfere with the liver's work to filter toxins or other dangerous substances in food.
So what foods and drinks should not be consumed directly with soda? Here's the complete list.
1. Pizza

Usually restaurants that provide a pizza menu always accompany it with soda as a drink of choice.
Quoting detikFood, when eating pizza, Beauties' mouths are full of layers of cheese and also the savory taste that comes from the pizza toppings, soda can be considered to be able to rinse the mouth clean. It seems that the two are the perfect combination, but that doesn't apply in terms of health.
Health advisor Colin Zhu revealed that the combination of soda and pizza contains high fructose corn syrup and refined carbohydrates. These two ingredients can increase false feelings of hunger and reduce feelings of fullness.
2. Spicy Food

Spicy foods that contain warm spices such as chilies, curry and cumin seeds will automatically raise Beauties' body temperature. That's what makes Beauties want to drink immediately. However, it is not recommended to consume soda.
A glass of soda does not quench thirst or cool the stomach, but it can increase the amount of acid in the stomach.
3. Pastries

Mint candy is also considered not good to consume with soda. If Beauties try it, there will be a dangerous reaction for the body and the pain can be unbearable. When you consume both, it will trigger stomach acid to rise into the esophagus.
5. Milk and Foods Made from Milk
