Another Article on the Damage Caused by Soda Pop

[Guest guest]

The below S-A repost is worth memorizing. It explains

what just one can of soda pop does to your body and

why it is so damaging.

 

Who's to say how much better a person would feel if he

stopped drinking all soda pop and carbonated

beverages?

It might be an interesting experiment.

 

Can you drive to the countryside where the water is

clean and untreated and bring back fresh water in 3-4

large jugs to drink? This is preferable to drinking

the treated drinking water or commercially bottled

water.

 

150 degenerative diseases are linked to acidity

 

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 and 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 is10x 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 soda(pop) is

higher than 3.0.

Diet sodas are the worst as they have the highest acid

content.

Actually diet sodas cause you to gain weight because

they alter the

blood chemistry, making changes in your metabolism,

leading to a

slower metabolic rate. See our article on Aspartame.

The best liquid

to drink is water.

 

Almost everything we do including our life styles and

our diets 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.

 

Can Cola & Sodas Kill?

Over the long term the effects of colas 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

soda. When you

drink a cola or soda, the body will use up reserves of

its own stored

alkaline buffers, mainly calcium from the bones and

DNA, to raise the

body's alkalinity levels, especially to maintain

proper blood

alkaline pH levels. Acidic blood levels cause death!

There are enough

acids in one soda to kill you if you didn't possess a

mechanism to

neutralize them. But your mineral buffers can be used

up.

 

The reason it is so bad, is that soda, 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. But these liquids 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

soda that you drink 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.

 

 

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.
