To lose weight

Soda - Do You Really Know What You Are Drinking?

Some people refer to them as a soda, others call it a pop. Whatever you want to call it, it is making you fat. There are a number of health problems associated with these drinks. First, they are empty calories. People are drinking more calories during a day than they should consume with combined meals during an entire day.

Second, the sugar contained in each drink is enough to mess up anyone’s blood sugar levels not to mention the type of sugar it really is (which is an entirely different subject).

Third, Do you know what the ingredients in these drinks are doing to your body?

If you want to lose weight you must stop drinking these drinks. Oh, you drink Diet Soda and think you are making a healthy choice, wrong. Diet sodas are worse for you than regular sodas.

The truth about the ingredients in sodas. The active ingredient in most sodas is phosphoric acid. Clear sodas such as 7-UP and Sprite do not contain phosphoric acid which makes these a slightly better choice. Phosphoric acid leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase in osteoporosis. For commercial trucks to carry the Cola syrup concentrate they must use a hazardous material placard reserved for highly corrosive materials. Do you really want this in your body?

Diet sodas not only contain phosphoric acid, but they also contain asparteme. Asparteme, in scientific research studies has been linked to several health problems. The least concerning health problem is that asparteme makes people gain weight. Yes, drinking diet sodas that have 0 calories, 0 sugar are actually making you gain weight. The chemical sweetener Asperteme has zero calories and therefore can be included in a beverage and labeled as such (zero calories) however, due to the chemical makeup it has been proven to cause rapid weight gain, this is one of the greatest marketing schemes of all time. The major health problems that asparteme has shown in studies is; causing brain tumors, neurological disorders, MS and other health problems.

Did you know that the flavored waters that contain vitamins, such as Vitamin Water and other drinks are just as bad as drinking a soda. These flavored waters contain as many calories as a soda. They try to trick you, but each bottle contains more than one serving. If you are eating a healthy diet you’re usually getting enough of your vitamins. Don’t drink your calories. The obesity problem is growing, don’t become a statistic.

In conclusion, if you are trying to lose weight or start a healthy lifestyle you should stop drinking sodas.
