Diet Soda - A Great Way to Drink Yourself Sick!

There are sooo many studies out on diet soda.  It's a huge multi-million dollar industry so do not expect any glowing truths to be revealed by the manufacturers.  They are too busy counting their money at YOUR healths expense to care.  Here is a sampling of the information - there are volumes out there - on the studies done showing the dangers of drinking diet soda.  Do not fool yourself into thinking you are managing your weight with it.  You are only managing your future potential disease.

Walter Reed Army Medical Center - showed that diet soda leaches calcium from our bodies.  Over the course of two days 20 healthy women drank 24 ounces of diet soda, while the control group drank only water.  Three hours after the diet-soda-drinking group had their last soda, their urine was analyzed.  The diet soda group lost (on average) 6.85 milligrams more calcium and 41 milligrams more of phosphorous than the water-drinking group.

So maybe you aren't a chemist or a doctor, but I can assure you this loss is NOT good.  The average person is more than likely not too concerned - or aware - that calcium and phosphorous are important to bodily functions.  Their loss will take its toll over time and it will not be pretty!  A steady diet of diet soda (or any soda for that matter) is an invitation to develop so many issues with your health that if you knew about this you would never, ever, drink this crap.

University of Texas Health Science Center - The short term effects of the synthetic sweetener aspartame, which is used in many diet sodas, can include headaches, mood swings, dizziness and memory loss.  But the long-term effects may be devastating.  Studies have linked high intake of aspartame to developing lymphoma, leukemia, cancerous tumors of the liver and peripheral nerves and a nerve-cell death within the brain.

See what I mean, folks?  Do you really, really want to go on consuming this?  Seriously?  Drinking diet soda increases the risk of developing metabolic syndrome by 34% - this is a group of symptoms that include extra weight gain around the midsection, elevated insulin levels and increased blood pressure.  When these symptoms occur together, they put a person at greater risk for diabetes, heart disease and other illnesses.

Diet soda will not help you to lose weight but it sure has the potential to muck up your health.  I didn't even get into the osteoporosis angle and it's huge!   If you look at the sales volume of this stuff being sold and consumed and compare that to the outrageous increases in the illnesses these days, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see a connection.  Every time I see the smiley little logo for coke, I imagine the manufacturers smiling.........all the way to the bank!  I watch people, young people, kids, drinking this soda like there is no tomorrow - oh no worries, it's fine, I feel great etc. etc.  except there is a tomorrow and you may not feel so great then.  To often people get to middle age, start experiencing health problems and wonder why.  Is it just old age?  Hell no.  It's what they have been consuming for years with nary a care in the world.  Kinda creeps up on you!  Many symptoms and diseases can be reversed thru consuming a healthy diet.  I help people do that all the time.  It is rarely too late to correct problems, but why would anyone knowingly create them?

If you need further information on the dangers of consuming this, try looking up what Dr. Russell Blaylock has to say about the neuro toxic effects on the brain.  It is chilling!  You will not find any of the health advocate doctors - Dr. Mercola, Dr. Oz, Dr. Hyman, Dr. Andrew Weil, Dr. Ben etc - ever endorsing the consumption of ANY product with artificial sweeteners, let alone the calcium/phosphorous leaching sodas.
