How Soda is Destroying Your Health
SCARY



As much as we Americans love our soda, the drink is detrimental to our health. Here's why. Know any other reasons soda is bad for us?

1. SODA = VINEGAR: Soda is the most acidic beverage you can buy with a pH of 2.5, about the same as vinegar.
Acid oxidizes whatever it comes in contact with. If you put soda or vinegar on metal, it will rust it quickly.

2. DRINK SODA, LOSE CALCIUM: Drinking soda, which contains high levels of phosphorous, you leach calcium from your bones.

3. BYE BYE TOOTH ENAMEL: The high sugar content of one soft drink was able to damage the white blood cells’ ability to ingest and kill bacteria for seven hours. Sugar and acid in soft drinks so easily dissolve tooth enamel.

4. ONE SODA = 1.6x INCREASE IN RISK FOR OBESITY: Weight gain! Drinking 1 soda a day causes an 80 percent increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes also.

5. KIDS + SODA = BROKEN BONES: Adolescents who consume soft drinks display a risk of bone fractures 3 to 4 times higher than those who do not. Children don't realize they are drinking a mixture of phosphoric acid, sugar, caffeine, coloring, and flavoring matter. Excess liquid calories inhibit the ability of older children to compensate at mealtime, leading to caloric imbalance and, in time, obesity.

6. DIET SODA JUST AS BAD: One liter of an ASPARTAME (Equal)-sweetened beverage can produce about 56 milligrams of methanol. When several of these beverages are consumed in a short period of time, as much as 250 milligrams of methanol are dumped into the bloodstream, or 32 times the EPA limit. You’re poisoning your body, too.

7. CAFFEINE AS HUMAN KILLER: Caffeine withdrawal can strike people who drink a single cup of strongly brewed coffee or drink caffeinated soft drinks everyday and symptoms include headache, fatigue, mild depression, muscle pain and stiffness, flu-like feelings, nausea and vomiting. Women are more prone to PMS.

Just one caffeinated soft drink per day is associated with a reduced monthly chance of conception of 50 percent.

8. ASTHMA & RASH: Sodium benzoate is used as a preservative (microbial control) in foods, including soft drinks. Sodium preservatives add sodium to the diet and reduce the availability of potassium. Some reported reactions to sodium benzoate include recurring urticaria (rash), asthma, and eczema.

9. SACCHARIN (Sweet n' Low), which is a noncaloric petroleum derivative estimated to be 300 to 500 times sweeter than sugar. Carcinogenic effects of saccharin in the bladder and other sites and in some instances at doses of the equivalent of 1-2 bottles of diet pop daily.

With diet soda, you’ve gone from high calories to poisonous levels of methanal and an increased chance of developing cancer.

10. ALL OVER BAD: Increased soft drink consumption contributes to osteoporosis. Tooth loss, periodontal disease, and gingivitis can be problems also.

"...if used in moderation...", she says as a quick aside.

I use corn glutten in the spring time - put it on dandelions and they die.

Beware ALL corn-based products...

here is another one of heir commercials


I found funny spoof of that commercial

That's it, i am done with all pop

not only that, check what caffeine is :)

I don't have a flatulence problem, but thanks lol, or should I say BUTT thanks heh.

I gotta say though 'plenty of safe stuff you hope' lol not much response from all the health conscientious people on here as to what ya'll drink instead.

I'm admitting it, I basically have been addicted to Soda, in particular Pepsi for my whole life, (yes I actually drank soda as a kid daily due to an allergy to Milk)

And I can't drink ONLY water...... and as I established previously I'm not much on teas, so I'm looking for genuine advice on what glp'ers drink if not soda.

I think I would have ran out of that dentist's office as fast as I could have after seeing his son with the black teeth.

Not a good reflection on his dental skills I would say.
