Our mothers here swear directly in the sense that cola saves their children and the whole family from rotavirus. And for prevention and treatment. The type of phosphoric acid in cola penetrates the cells of the gastrointestinal tract and kills viruses.
This is stupidity. Children are not allowed to use a cola at all. And other lemonades too. All children.
Let's go further. If phosphoric acid penetrated the cells of the gastrointestinal tract and killed the virus, then your own stomach acid would also penetrate there. But then your gastrointestinal tract would turn into a continuous ulcer. Fortunately, it doesn't work that way.
Everything is simpler here
When your child is nauseous and vomiting, his blood glucose levels quickly drop. The small organism tries to resist and injects many so-called contrainsular hormonesthat should raise your sugar levels. These hormones cause nausea and vomiting.
Until the baby starts eating, the nausea will not go away. Vicious circle. Therefore, it is often necessary to inject him with glucose intravenously.
And then the child vomits, and you pour Coke into his mouth. And he vomits again, but with cola. And you again pour Coke into his mouth. While this soda travels to the stomach and back, the famous American corn syrup with glucose is absorbed from it, which can actually be absorbed even in the mouth. Gradually, the child's blood sugar level rises, he becomes more cheerful, and he is less sick.
In fact, this is a sure sign that the child should have been taken to the hospital. Those mothers who managed to pump out the child in such a barbaric way are screeching about it all over the Internet. But you will not hear those mothers who killed the child in this way.
And of course, until you feel sick, you don't need to pour anything into anyone. Because it's just sugar that raises your blood glucose levels.
