High sweeteners contents are mainly responsible for the side-effects of soft drink consumption. Soft drinks might be the source of mitogenic unknown agents. The contents of soft drinks are usually hidden and protected by law; therefore, unknown substances might have an impact on cell proliferation. If this assumption is correct, an excessive intake of soft drinks could increase obesity, type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, metabolic syndrome, liver fibrosis, as well as cancer and angiogenesis.
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE:
The aim of the presented study was to check differences between 'Diet' and 'non-Diet' soft drinks on cell proliferation.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
Coca Cola and Pepsi Cola of different origin and their dietetic versions were examined at concentrations of 2% and 4%. Fructose and glucose as well as medium alone (control) were examined.
RESULTS:
Cell number was higher in media supplemented with soft drinks, compared to control. Proliferation depended on the soft drink concentration and its origin, but not on sugar and calorific content.
CONCLUSIONS:
An unknown factor is responsible for the increase in proliferation.
In the presented study, sugar-free soft drinks cultured in media and labeled as ‘Light’, ‘Diet’ or ‘Zero’ were characterized by high mitogenic activity (Coca Cola), similar to sugarsweetened ones, not commensurate with the calorific level. Coca Cola ‘Diet’ and ‘Zero’ have 1.0 and 0.7kcal/240ml, Pepsi Cola ‘Light’ has no calories at all; therefore, the cell number in these cultures should be similar to the control. This observation is very interesting and suggests that actual lists of ingredients can vary, or that same ingredients may contain additional substances not mentioned on the labels.
