Carbonated beverages or soft drinks is something young and old enjoy especially in the summer. It seems refreshing the moment we drink it, but the hazard it poses is something worth knowing.
1. Caffeine and high amounts of sugar in soft drinks can seriously interfere with the digestive process. This means the body does not absorb nutrients from food completely eaten, and even eaten a few hours earlier.
2. Drinking soft drinks while having fever or flu will make it difficult for the body to fight disease.
3. Soft drinks are very acidic, especially Cola and it depletes the body of water. In order to neutralize a glass of Cola, it takes 32 glasses of pure filtered water. It is well known by the medical profession that disease loves acid. If we could get our cells to maintain a normal pH (slightly alkaline), cancer could not grow in our bodies. Cancer can't live in an oxygen-rich environment. Cola drinks make our bodies poor in oxygen
4. The bubbles and fizz in soft drinks can potentially burn human insides. This is caused by the phosphoric acid and carbon dioxide. The phosphorus in the acid upsets the body's calcium-phosphorus ratio and dissolves calcium out of the bones. This can eventually result in osteoporosis
5. Sugar in Cola Soft Drinks will cause an increase in "empty calories" that offer little or no nutritional value. This causes people to eat more because they always feel hungry. Their body is telling them that they need to feed the cells. Never finding the proper nutrients, the hunger becomes a vicious circle resulting in obesity
6. A diet high in Sugar, such as that found in Cola Soft Drinks, will cause blood sugar levels to skyrocket. The pancreas works to level out the high sugar levels by producing insulin. If Soda and Cola Soft Drinks are consumed at a high level on a daily basis, this will cause the pancreas to "wear out", resulting in diabetes.
7. Caffeine in Cola soft drinks artificially stimulate the body and increase the heart rate. This artificial stimulation temporarily arouses the intellect and fatigue seems to disappear, but shortly the "sugar high" dissipates. Caffeine raises blood pressure, increases heart rate, and cause plaque to form in the arteries (cholesterol).
8. Due to the higher sugar content, acidic content, additives, preservatives and dyes in Cola, the functioning of the digestive enzymes in our stomach is reduced. Less food is digested the rest gets fermented. The undigested fermented food creates odors, gas, and poison, which is absorbed by the intestines, and these toxins lead to diseases.
9. Phosphorus found in Cola Soft Drinks (pH 2.5) renders hydrochloric acid (pH 4.5) in the stomach ineffective. This promotes indigestion, bloating and gassiness. Carbon dioxide is a waste product exhaled by humans, but they ingest it when they drink Soda and Cola Soft Drinks.
10. Olyethylene Glycol is an ingredient used in soft drinks. Glycol is used in anti-freeze in automobiles and as an oil solvent. When Cola Drinks are poured on your windshield in a snow or ice storm, you will discover that it will keep the windshield from freezing over with ice.
