Getting Sores On The Head After Drinking Soda. Reason?

Hello, I am 55 years old male. I eat very healthy food. lean meat and a lot of veggies. However I sometimes like a soda. I have noticed every time I drink one, the next day I get small sores on my head. If I dont have one for a few days, they go away.. I also had another friend tell me the same thing.. Any Idea what causes this?

Hello,
Welcome to health care magic.
As such, there is no relation between soda and sores. From your description, I am presuming the sores to be a condition called as folliculitis which is a bacterial infection of the hair follicle. Soda has a high glycemic index. It rises the blood sugars very fast. So I suggest you to get your blood sugars checked as diabetics have a tendency to get infections faster.
Other than that, I do not see a direct relation between them.
Hope this helped you.
Take care.
