Are you among the almost half of all Americans who drink at least 1 soft drink per day? A Gallup poll found that the average daily consumption is almost a quart of soda per day! Common consumers are non-white people, men, and adults between ages 18-34.

Let's take a look at the health effects of most soft drinks (sodas). Top 10 ways that drinking sodas can harm your body:

1. Soda is worthless nutritionally. It is filled with sugar or high fructose corn syrup, and flavorings. We'll discuss "healthy" sodas, sparkling water, and diet sodas later.

    

2. Sodas contribute to diabetes and obesity and metabolic syndrome, a condition that includes expanding waist size, increased blood pressure, elevated Triglycerides, lower HDL, and high fasting blood sugar levels.

    

3. An Australian study of more than 16,000 South Australians who drank soft drinks had a significantly higher chance of asthma and COPD than those who didn't.

    

4. Soda isn't good for your heart or blood vessels. It has been linked to chronic kidney disease, fatty liver, and heart disease risk factors.

    

5. Soda weakens your tooth enamel and can cause increased cavities.

    

6. It has been linked to osteoporosis. The phosphoric acid and carbolic acid in most soft drinks can weaken your bones, cause free radical damage to your red blood cells, and make your body's pH acidic - increasing cancer risk .

    

7. It can make your children and teens aggressive and violent. A study of 1878 Boston area high school students found that those kids who drank 5 or more sodas per week were more likely to be violent toward family and friends, to carry a gun or knife, and to drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes than those teens who didn't drink soft drinks.

    

8. Diet sodas can cause you to gain weight. A San Antonio Heart Study found that the more diet sodas you drink the greater chance that you will be overweight. Each diet soda increases your chances by 65%! Rats at Purdue University that were fed artificial sweeteners gained more weight than rats fed normal sugar.

    

9. Diet soda has been linked to depression by a National Institutes of Health report.

    

10. Diet soda increased premature birth risks in pregnant women. The researchers speculated that the premature birth link probably came from pregnant women consuming artificial sweeteners, and the lead researcher note that that there is evidence that aspartame (NutraSweet) was a factor in preterm delivery in animals.

    Okay, so now you say, "But what if I only drink organic, stevia-sweetened soft drinks? And what about drinking sparkling water? The answer is that they should be an occasional treat, rather than a daily drink, due to the carbolic acid that they contain. If you doubt their effect, then you should go to have a live blood analysis. You will see the damage to your red blood cells.

     

    The reality is that you and your children should consider all carbonated beverages to be an infrequent treat. What you and your family should be drinking more of is water - "Water like a mountain spring™" from our Ideal Earth Water under sink or whole house Fluoride water filters.

    One of our recent customers exclaimed, "Now my kids want to drink water! They have stopped drinking sodas or juice!"  

     

In the pursuit of good health, sharp thinking, and good energy to perform our daily jobs, one of the most prudent investments for one's family and personal health is the removal from the water of the most reactive elements on the periodical chart - Chlorine and Fluoride compounds.

Did you know that Prozac is made from Fluoxetine, which is pharmaceutical-grade fluoride? Do you want to be made more compliant, but have a possibility to go postal? Or do you want clarity of thinking?

Do you want brittle bones and mottled teeth? Or do you want healthy teeth?

Do you want a future of cancer or Alzheimer's? Or do you want to be vital and sharp into your 80's and 90's?

If you want health, vitality, and sharp clear thinking, then you need to own my fluoride removal under the sink water filter, which also removes chlorines, chloramines, chlorine by-products, arsenic, and heavy metals.
