Soft drinks have long been criticised for their high sugar content and lack of nutritional value. Doctors have repeatedly linked excessive consumption of sugary beverages to obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and other health concerns.
Now, another question is grabbing attention online: could your daily cold drink habit also be affecting your hair?

According to a TOI report, hair transplant surgeon Dr Abhishek Pilani recently discussed the topic on Raj Shamani's Figuring Out podcast. During the conversation, he explained that regularly consuming sugary beverages may create conditions within the body that are not ideal for healthy hair growth.
