Cold and Coke

  • I have had a sore throat since yesterday, so I could have caught a cold.

    風邪とコーラ


    At time like this, I found the information that a Coke is good for a cold.
    昨日から喉が少し痛いので、風邪をひいてしまったかもしれません。

    According to the Internet, this information is common in the West (especially France), but I think most Japanese people don’t know this.
    そんなとき、風邪にコーラが効くという情報を見つけました。

    Originally, the Coke had been released as a cold medicine.
    ネットによると、欧米(特にフランス)では常識とのことですが、日本人は知らない人が多いと思います。

    Medical evidence has not been proven, but it seems to have effects, such as relaxation of headache and throat inflammation, and improvement of indigestion.
    そもそもコーラは、風邪薬として発売されていたそうです。

    Today, I will buy and drink a Coke.
    医学的根拠は立証されていませんが、頭痛・のどの炎症の緩和、消化不良の改善などの効果があるそうです。

    By the way, in Canada, a cold sufferer seems to drink Ginger Ale.
    今日はコーラを買って飲もうと思います。
