Maybe I should say YOU are destroying your body by drinking soft drinks since you’re making the decision whether or not to drink the stuff, right?

Anyway, this post comes directly from my emails newsletter I sent out today.  Enjoy!  Oh and one more thing, if you have a soft drink story I would love to hear it.  Such as if you used to drink it a lot and now have completely given it up – something like that, please share in the Comments section.  Thanks!

======================================

I read an article yesterday about the harmful effects of
soft drinks.

Let me summarize the main points of the article, and if
you are a soda drinker, maybe this will help change your
ways.

1) Soft drinks contain little to no vitamins or other
essential nutrients.

2) What they do contain: caffeine, carbonation, simple sugars —
or worse, sugar substitutes — and often food additives
such as artificial coloring, flavoring, and preservatives.

Heck take a can of soda and read the ingredients outloud.
Look how many chemicals are in there.  Do you REALLY want
to put that in your body?

3) The USDA recommendation of sugar consumption for a 2,000-
calorie diet is a daily allotment of 10 teaspoons of added
sugars. Many soft drinks contain more than this amount!

4) When sugar enters your body, the pancreas is called upon to
produce and release insulin.  Raised insulin levels weakens your
immune system, which weakens your body against fighting illnesses.

5) Most of the excess sugar ends up being stored as fat in your
body, which results in weight gain and elevates risk for heart
disease and cancer.

6) Diet soda is NOT the answer.  One study discovered that
drinking one or more soft drinks a day — and it didn’t matter
whether it was diet or regular — led to a 30% greater chance
of weight gain around the belly.

Diet soda contains artificial sweeteners such as aspartame,
sucralose, or saccharin which pose a risk to your health.

7) Think of your kids.  This is sad but a lot of research has
found that consumption of soft drinks in high quantity, especially
by children, is responsible for many health problems that include
tooth decay, nutritional depletion, obesity, type-2 diabetes, and
heart disease.

Now, if you drink several cans or bottles of soda each day, you
may not be able to stop cold turkey.

Start slowly and give up one can a day.

A week later, give up a second can a day.

But eventually, you’ve GOT to get this stuff out of your system.

It’s poison to your body.

Replace it with water or some green tea.

By the way, the article I read yesterday about soft drinks
was written by Dr. Maoshing Ni.  I want to make sure I give
Dr. Mao credit.

Have a great day!
