THE FACTS

It is well known that too much soda can increase the risk of _diabetes_

(http://health.nytimes.com/health/guides/disease/diabetes/overview.html?inline=n\

yt-c

lassifier) and _obesity_

(http://health.nytimes.com/health/guides/symptoms/obesity/overview.html?inline=n\

yt-classifier) . But when it comes to kidney

problems, is there a difference between colas and other kinds of soda?

Colas contain high levels of phosphoric acid, which has been linked to

_kidney stones_

(http://health.nytimes.com/health/guides/disease/kidney-stones/overview.html?inl\

ine=nyt-classifier) and other renal problems.

Much of this conclusion stems from anecdotal and circumstantial evidence. So

last year, a team of scientists at the _National Institutes of Health_

(http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/n/national_in\

stit

utes_of_health/index.html?inline=nyt-org) took a closer look.

In a study published in the journal Epidemiology, the team compared the

dietary habits of 465 people with chronic kidney disease and 467 healthy people.

After controlling for various factors, the team found that drinking two or

more colas a day — whether artificially sweetened or regular — was linked

to a

twofold risk of chronic kidney disease.

But drinking two or more noncola carbonated drinks a day, they found, did not

increase the risk.

The authors of the study say more research is needed, but their findings

support the long-held notion that something about cola — the phosphoric acid,

for example, or the ability of cola to pull _calcium_

(http://health.nytimes.com/health/guides/test/serum-calcium/overview.html?inline\

=nyt-classifier) from

bones — seems to increase the risk of kidney stones, _renal failure_

(http://health.nytimes.com/health/guides/disease/acute-kidney-failure/overview.h\

tml?inl

ine=nyt-classifier) and other conditions affecting the kidneys.

THE BOTTOM LINE

There is good evidence that cola beverages can increase the risk of kidney

problems, more so than noncola sodas.

Which of these links supports the claim that too much cola can cause

Another list, I think, but I started a Coca Cola thread ( and I was accused of

being a plant for Coca Cola (ha)) however there were LOTS of responses.It may

have been a high blood pressure group but anyway-

No one could document anything bad about Coke. I drink diet Coke (or Pepsi)

almost everyday but if I KNEW it was harmful, would stop. Water or lemonade

would probably be better cause we are told you can't hydrate with Coke but that

does not make sense to me at all. When I did Chemo I was told to take my body

weight, divide by 2 and then drink that many ounces of WATER every day. Coke or

Pepsi did not count. Sports water was OK. Lemon in the water was OK. Carbonated

water was not an option either. Or any soda. So is it the carbonation that is

" bad " ?

Dehydration damages the kidneys, so if you drank Coke and never drank water

that could cause kidney damage. Just a thought.

Zolette, diet Coke and diet Pepsi are sweetened with aspartame, a very potent

neurotoxin. Please check out http://www.dorway.com for more information.

Hi Z

 

Ingesting excessive Carbonation will cause a higher PH.. .more acidic

condition in

the body and thereby encourage a bio-terrain that is friendly to things we don't

want.

 

But more crucial to many individuals who have tendencies toward various neuro

problems and challenges, the " Sweetener " used in various " Diet " Drinks can cause

and encourage various issues there as well.

It would be good to do some study on the subject noting how much artificial

sweetener you may be ingesting and what harmful effects can be found in others

because of it.

My mother refused to quit smoking because she did not believe it was

bad for her. She died of lung cancer.

 

Caffeine is a diruretic, so drinking coke is *more* harmful than not

drinking anything.

Phosphorous in the carbination can cause hair loss.

Diet coke contains harmful fake sugars.

 

I used to be in denial about the harmfulness of carbs until I was

diagnosed with diabetes. Now I have a very limited low carb diet.

I always counsel people to not wait for absolute proof of harmfulness.

Big industry covers up and obfuscates health dangers of what they

sell. Both the FDA and Congress are owned by big industry.

 

The choice is yours, but I would far rather be safe than sorry with

regard to questionable dangers like coke, cellphones, Aluminum pans,

etc. My intention is to live a long time while being clear of mind

and healthy of body when I am old. To me, that is fsr more

reasonable than becoming a statistic when I die.

Wow i didnt realize that drinking cola would be that much of a health

factor in helping diease infect your body. I wonder how teens would

feel about hearing this since they are the primary drinkers of the

cola industry. this is so horrible! makes me glad im cutting down my

caffine habit
