Human blood is a liquid that maintains a pH between 7.3 and 7.4. A change of just 0.2 in pH can be fatal. The substance responsible for regulating blood pH is carbonic acid. When carbonic acid dissolves in the blood, it creates a cooling sensation, contributing to the appeal of drinking soda. Humans convert food into glucose through digestion for energy, and this glucose combines with oxygen in a process called breathing to generate carbon dioxide, water, and ATP, which are essential for energy production. A significant amount of carbon dioxide is produced in this process. To meet a daily energy requirement of 2,560 calories, one needs to burn 640 grams of glucose with oxygen, resulting in the production of 938 grams or 552 liters of carbon dioxide. When carbon dioxide dissolves in water, it forms carbonic acid, which circulates in the bloodstream and exits the body through the lungs. While some argue that soda is unhealthy, especially for individuals with specific conditions, it is es...
