Smoke and mirrors of sports and vitamin drinks
Hello my friend,
We've talked in the past about the dangers of soda--It's
no secret that that sugar-laden caramel water infused with
phosphoric acid is no good for you.
To quickly refresh your memory: Two of the big killers in
soda are sugar and phosphoric acid.
In addition to the weight gain it creates, sugar increases
insulin in your blood and can cause or worsen:
- asthma
- diabetes
- heart disease
- gallstones
- high blood pressure
- arthritis
- mood swings and personality changes
- mental illness and nervous disorders
- concentration and learning difficulties in children
And when the phosphoric acid from soda gets into your
system, it throws your delicate balance of minerals way out
of whack.
There should be a 2 to 1 ratio of calcium to phosphorus in
your body. When you drink soda, you get deluged with extra
phosphorus. In reaction, your body releases extra calcium
into the bloodstream, trying to restore the 2 : 1 balance.
You may ask, "Where does the body get the extra calcium?"
The answer: From your bones.
That's right--every soda you drink leeches calcium from
your bones and organs.
Is it any wonder why the US has more osteoporosis than
anywhere in the world?
We lead the world in osteoporosis, in part, because we
lead the world in soda consumption at 600 12-ounce servings
per person per year--that's nearly 60 gallons for each man,
woman and child each year.
Here's a neat factoid: It takes 32 glasses of water to
neutralize the acid from just one glass of soda in your
body. That's a lot of acid!
Some people with good intentions think that instead
they'll be healthier by drinking sports drinks, energy
drinks, vitamin-enriched waters or similar beverages.
Don't be fooled by the "health" claims made by the
manufacturers of these drinks. You'd be better off
drinking dirty dishwater. No joke.
These "health" drinks are NOT healthy. They are just
marketed that way for one reason and one reason alone:
Profits.
Here are some "healthy" drinks and their major ingredients:
* Gatorade G2: Water, sucrose (sugar), high fructose corn
syrup (the worst form of sugar on the planet) and citric
acid (another bone-brittling form of acid for your body to
expend minerals to neutralize).
* Aquafina Alive Wellness Water: Water, white grape juice
concentrate (mainly sugar), phosphoric acid (just like soda).
Listen, my dear friend, don't let the beverage giants
trick you with their multi-million dollar marketing
campaigns and brainwash you into thinking their sugar and
acid creations are actually good for you.
These drinks boast that they're fortified with vitamins
and minerals (to make them appear healthy). But since your
body can't possibly neutralize all the acid they cause, it
can't even use any of those added nutrients. Ironic, huh?
So the claim that these drinks are healthy because of
added nutrients is just a joke and a marketing ploy.
The beverage giants are led by their marketing divisions
whose sole purpose is profits. And there are people in
these organizations who know what I'm telling you now.
So the answer to the question is yes, they knowingly
jeopardize and harm the health of billions with their
drinks--getting kids (and adults) addicted to the sugar--
and sleep like babies at night while sweet visions of
dollar signs dance in their heads.
If you want to be bursting with energy, be oxygenated
and enjoy a long life, you must learn the drinks that
ARE truly good for you.
You'll have all the energy you need, your body will be
less of a host to sickness and disease, and if you do get
sick, you'll heal faster because your immune system won't
be compromised by all that acid.
Your skin will be healthier, digestion will be a whole lot
more comfortable, and without all that excess sugar, there
will be less of you to love, if you know what I mean.

Hi Sherry,
I've been following your pain-free way of eating for ten
days now and I feel great! I am completely amazed at the
difference made just by changing the way you eat food.
After only one day, I had no more bloating or those "I
feel fat" feelings. Before this, after some meals and for
sure by the end of the day, I had to unbutton my pants and
I felt like I needed a bigger size.
I was miserable and now I can be comfortable all day and
all night. It's truly wonderful.
I didn't have a lot of digestive pain, but I did suffer
from lots of gas and bloating and constipation. Now, I
have no bloating, significantly less gas, and am becoming
more regular each day.
And, to top it off, I lost 4 pounds and an inch off my
waist and hips. Since I'm only about 5-10 pounds from my
ideal weight, that's a big deal!
Thanks so much for your dedication to health and for
sharing your research.
