Is A Soft Drink Like Battery Acid?

 

Before you drink another soft drink or diet soft drink, please read

the following article on wellness.

 

Scientists have found that healthy people have body fluids that are

slightly alkaline, 7.1 to 7.5 pH. Scientists and doctors have also

found that over 150 degenerative diseases are linked to acidity,

including cancer, diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, gall stones,

kidney stones, and many more. All diseases thrive in an acidic,

oxygen poor environment.

 

Keep in mind that a drop in every point on the pH scale is 10x more

acidic than the previous number--i.e. from 7 to 6 is 10x, from 7 to

5 is 100x etc. From 7 to 2 is 100,000x more acidic, colas are in the

approximate 2.5 pH range. Almost no soft drink is higher than 3.0.

Diet soft drinks are the worst as they have the highest acid

content. The best liquid to drink is clean water ( tap water YUCK! ).

 

Almost everything we do including our life styles and the food we

eat push us into the acidic range: proteins, carbohydrates, and fats

are all digested down to acids. Even metabolic functions and

exercise create some acids (lactic acid). Body fluids range between

4.5 and 7.5 pH. Your blood must maintain an alkaline range of 7.35

to 7.45 pH. So even our natural functions produce acids, and if we

do not get the proper minerals in the proper forms, our bodies will

begin to degenerate. When you drink soda, the deterioration

will be much faster. For more information on pH see our article on

Blood Rouleau. Do you want wellness? Does this make sense to you?

 

Over the long term the effects of soft drinks are devastating to the

body. Acidity, sugars, and artificial flavors and sweeteners can

shorten your life. It would take 32 glasses of alkaline water at an

alkaline pH of 9 to neutralize the acid from one 12 oz. cola or soft

drink. When you digest a soft drink, the body will use up reserves

of its own stored alkaline buffers, mainly calcium from the bones to

raise the body's alkalinity levels, especially to maintain proper

blood alkaline pH levels. There are enough acids in one soft drink

to kill you if you didn't possess a mechanism to neutralize them.

But your mineral buffers can be used up.

 

Lets stop and think about this for a minute. Ok I know that this is

allot of information and it may seem a little different than what

you thought before. What if a person changed their life style and

removed soft drinks from their eating habits for just 1 month and it

helped would that be worth the effort? Others have done just that

and by removing soft drinks from their life and creating a better

life style they started getting their health back. Heck I used to

drink lots of soft drinks myself. Now I don't even like the taste of

them. Lets get back to the information on soft drinks and how to

improve your wellness.

 

The reason it is so bad, is that soft drinks, like water and other

liquids, pass very quickly through the stomach into the small

intestine where it is quickly assimilated into the bloodstream

through the openings in the villi in the walls of the intestines.

They can also be absorbed right through the stomach's lining

directly into the blood. Liquids do not stay in the digestive tract

like solid food does. All liquids go into the bloodstream,

is filtered through the liver and the kidneys, and what is not

needed is sent to the bladder and urinated out. The liquids that you

drink including soft drinks come in contact with virtually every

cell in your body.

 

When a substance is an acid, it means that there are a large number

of positively charged hydrogen ions in it. These positively charged

ions are lacking electrons and steal electrons from other atoms in

the body which themselves become electrically unstable and seek

other electrons from other atoms. Acids are free radicals and what

you've just created is a chain reaction of electron stealing. The

problem with this is that whenever an electron is torn from an atom

a little spark is produced, and this is what damages cell membranes.

It's called free radical damage and can be seen under a microscope

in a live blood cell analysis.

 

If you have enough minerals the body can stop the process. But when

you use up the supply of available minerals to neutralize the acids,

at that point you may get a very serious degenerative disease. Every

soft drink that you consume will contribute to this acidity. Even

without soda our bodies naturally produce acids, and minerals are

needed in our diets to stop the deterioration process.

Unfortunately, most of the food that we eat no longer contains the

minerals that we need. This may be the reason for all the

degenerative diseases that are so prevalent today. Work to have

eating and drinking habits for wellness.

 

Most degenerative diseases we call " Old-Age Diseases " like memory

loss, osteoporosis, arthritis, diabetes, hypertension, and many more

are actually life style diseases caused by acidosis, the lack of

supplements, what acids we ingest, what nutrients we don't ingest,

or toxins we don't properly eliminate.

 

The way I see it, soft drinks are like drinking from a car battery.

You create a low pH condition in your body and cause health problems

by putting soft drinks in your body. Isn't it better to remove soda

from your life style to live a better life. Please don't put soft

drinks in your body. Make your eating and drinking habits for your

wellness.

 

Be well,
