Soft” Drinks

More like soft-core Poison!

The typical cola drink recipe includes sugar, caffeine, phosphoric acid, carbon dioxide, artificial color and flavorings, plus the aluminum can — all toxic.

• Sugar — 50 feet of cane (11 teaspoons) in a typical 12-ounce soft drink are enough to reduce the immune system by 1/3 — three cans will wipe it out for an entire day.  When sugar is processed it becomes a white, addictive drug that can “upset the minerals in the body; cause hyperactivity, anxiety, difficulty concentrating; produce a significant rise in triglycerides; cause kidney damage; lead to chromium deficiency, cancer of the breast, ovaries, intestines, prostrate and rectum; increase levels of glucose and insulin; cause hypoglycemia, copper deficiency; interfere with absorption of calcium and magnesium; weaken eyesight; raise serotonin level; produce an acidic stomach; cause arthritis, asthma, candida, gallstones, appendicitis, heart disease, MS, hemorrhoids, varicose veins and periodontal disease; increase cholesterol, migraine headaches, cause toxemia during pregnancy, cataracts, emphysema, atheriosclerosis; can cause free radicals, hunger pains and overeating”, notes Nancy Appleton, M.D., author of Lick The Sugar Habit.  In case you’re thinking “diet” sodas are better — no such luck!  Artificial sweeteners are worse.

• Caffeine — an addictive drug that artificially stimulates metabolism and linked to higher incidences of bladder and stomach cancer.  It also increases blood pressure and heart rate, aggravates diabetes, damages stomach lining and contributes to birth defects.  It causes nervousness, irritability, anxiety and disturbances in the heart rhythm, according to a 1980 report in the FDA Consumer.  Having no nutritional value, caffeine contributes to osteoporosis by leaching calcium from bones to neutralize its very high acidity.  Space doesn’t permit more of the facts but there are many more — none good.

Did you know that cola will dissolve a baby tooth or 10d nail in just a few days and if poured over a frozen windshield will melt the ice, or that aluminum gravitates to the brain and may cause Alzheimer’s?  There are studies and much more documented information about these 5 culprits:

• Phosphoric acid
• Carbon dioxide
• Artificial color
• Flavorings
• Aluminum can

One could hardly imagine a more seductive and gruesome concoction with which to poison our bodies.  Each of its ingredients and the container itself are toxic; all injurious and with no redeeming health value.  The marvel is not so much that unregenerate man creates these lethal products labeled “food”.  It’s that they’re so packaged and presented to the public to cause us to pay for them ... it’s like Hitler charging admission to a gas chamber!
