The 25-year-old Australian was convinced of how harmful one of the world's most popular carbonated drinks - "Coca-Cola", is. A young man who drinks soda every day lost all his teeth.
William Kennewell, who works at a hotel in Salisbury, Australia, was not a fan of Coca-Cola, but simply preferred the drink to water.
“I don't really like drinking water, so I am trying to replace it with another drink. I work in the hotel business and have unlimited access to Coca-Cola, so I chose this kind of substitute for regular water. I drank six to eight liters of soda a day,”says William, who is forced to wear dentures.
The guy's hobby for "Coca-Cola" did not pass without a trace: one by one, teeth began to fall out. By the age of 25, the Australian has only 13 teeth, which are solid carious cavities.
“My health began to deteriorate, and I could hardly fulfill my official duties. When I went to the doctor, I learned that pulpitis had formed in the remaining teeth, which caused sepsis (blood poisoning). Therefore, I had to remove 13 teeth, which are a kind of breeding ground for infection,”says Kennewell.
The dentists explained to the guy that the only way out for him is to wear removable dentures, which will take over the function of primary mechanical processing of food and allow him to pronounce words normally.
Now William sadly contemplates a glass of Coca-Cola with a removable denture on it.

“Dentists have repeatedly warned me that if I do not give up the soda, I will be left without teeth, but I thought their words were fiction. By the way, my health improved as soon as I started using removable dentures,”says the 25-year-old owner of the false jaw.
Australian health experts have begun to cite Wilm's story as a good example of why sugary sodas should be avoided.
“I did my own research with 16,800 Australian children and adolescents between the ages of five and sixteen. It found that 56% of them consume sweet soda every day. I believe that the labels of these drinks should contain a warning about the possibility of caries,”said Dr. Jason Armfield.
