FW: Is A Soft Drink Like Battery Acid?

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.
