With consumption of a product, SHOULD come content knowledge. MOST people DO NOT read labels, have NO IDEA what is in the foods and drinks they consume, and have the "If it were bad for me, it wouldn't be sold in stores" mentality. This mentality KILLS people! You need to be a PARTICIPANT in your health, and not just an observer!

I haven't had po or soda as some call it for over 2 years. Ever since I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I then stopped cold turkey, and unfortunately I liked the flavor. But now I only drink water, with organic lemons at times, I bring my own lemons with me to restaurants! and sometimes almond milk. I am a vegan and only eat raw natural foods. I know how hard it is to quit something but the results are so worth it!

Anyone who dislikes drinking plain water should try different varieties. I found I prefer Evian to other water and when I compared the chemical analysis of the water on the sides of two bottles they were suprisingly different. Evian is a soft water, but some people prefer to drink a water with more iron in it. I find I drink a lot more water if it's really cold or has ice in it. Sometimes when I have guests I add a dash of some old-fashioned elderflower cordial to fizzy water to make Elderflower Presse and everyone says what a nice drink it is.

Just wanted to talk further about how acidic Coca-Cola is; it's used for cleaning engines, and most state troopers keep a few liters of it in the trunk because there is nothing better at removing blood from pavement. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its Ph is 2.8, at a time when we are learning to try and keep our bodies more alkaline for optimum health, with a target Ph of about seven. It will completely dissolve a nail in about four days, and strip a raw steak to bone in around two. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the Hazardous material placards reserved for Highly corrosive materials.

Mmm delicious; I can't wait to slurp one down!

All kidding aside, even having said that, when I learned the above facts I just stopped drinking the crap. We vote with our wallets and hopefully we will wake up to the harm some products do to us and stop buying them. Just like with cigarettes. But when everyone realizes how bad the product is for them, we will stop buying them, right?

Oh yeah; we also need to get past our physical dependence on sugar and caffeine!

I'D LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE FOR THEIR COMMENTS ON SODA'S. WHEN I WAS YOUNGER AS A CHILD MY MOTHER DID NOT BY SODA'S. SHE WOULD ALWAYS BY KOOL-AID AND TEA. AS I GOT OLDER AND ON MY ON I STARTED TO BY THE DEADLY SODA'S. I HAVE DID SOME RESEARCH MYSELF AND FOUND THAT THEY ARE BAD FOR YOU AND THAT IT DEPLEATS YOUR BODY OF CALCIM AND OTHER NUTRIENTS; AND I ALSO FOUND THAT IT WAKENS YOUR BONES. THAT WAS IT FOR ME. I DECIDED 6 MOTHS AGO THAT I WAS GOING TO STOP , AND DRINK MORE WAATER AND HERBAL TEAS. ALSO I WANTED TO KNOW HAS ANYONE HEARD ABOUT THAT WATER PEOPLE ARE DRINKING THAT WAS FOUNDED BY A JAPANEESE GUY? I THINK IT'S CALLED KANGEN WATER. IT'S SUPPOSE TO BE GOOD FOR YOU BECAUSE IT BALANCES THE ACID IN YOU BODY AND MAKES IT MORE ALKALINE.

Thanks, Dr. Mercola, for re-posting our article on your website!! Since we ran this story on nutritionresearchcenter.org, thousands of people have written to us expressing their amazement that soft drinks can be so destructive. But, honestly, this is the tip of the iceberg. Refined sugar is one of the most disease-causing substances known to modern civilization. The average person consumes almost their weight in refined sugar every year! Meanwhile, the soft drink industry, especially Coca Cola, not only makes a disease-causing product, but it is also involved in many nefarious projects around the world, seen as one of those bully corporations impinging on the rights of people in other nations.

Hydrochloric Acid in your stomach has a PH much lower than Phosphoric Acid. At any rate the high fructose corn syrup is not sugar, the Japanese ( no offense to them) invented it in 1971 and this poison is not digested and goes straight to your gut as bad fat. It allowed the soda companies to sell for a third of the price, but at the expense of the health and obesity of anyone consuming this garbage. The diet sodas have the toxic nutrasweet and splenda will make your thymus gland ( immune system gland under chest bone) shrink by 50% in size!

The addiction of this soda is a huge problem. Senators need to stop worrying about steroids the baseball players are taking and put their efforts into not just anti-smoking, but anti-sugar, anti-corn syrup.

I know a kindergarten child who gets Mtn Dew for breakfast (with a Pop Tart). Lunch consists of Chef Boyardee microwaveable spaghetti (eaten cold), Vienna sausages (nitrites, fat, sodium) Pringles pototo chips (acrylamide city!), Capri Sun, red Jello or chocolate flavored pudding, gummy fruit snacks, and a Hershey bar. This is EVERY DAY! Primary & significant caregivers work in the health industry. I feel so sorry for this poor child.......... How can I tactfully let caregivers know what they are doing to this child's health?

I gave up sodas a few years ago. that is not to say I don't have one on very rare occasions, then regret it shortly afterwards. When I worked in the grocery store business, I would see people come through my line and buy busloads of soda. I would ask them if they were having a party, and they would say, "No, this is what I buy every week." I would be quick to tlel them that there were no sodas in my home. they would ask me how I did that, and I told them...I am the mom, I am the one who buys the groceries, end of story. And then they hem and haw about the kids would go crazy if she stopped buying soda. Ya think?

My wife would drink a lot of Coke. She gave it up for one year and after that year started drinking Pepsi One. She drank that for about a year and then quit drinking anything for another year and then started drinking Diet Coke. Drank that for less then a year and was diagnosed with uterine cancer. To this day she attributes the cancer to drinking the diet stuff!!!!! Water is her drink of choice now.

i don't drink soda any more, i drank a lot for like 10 years, i was addicted to it after being falsely diagnosed as having bi polar disorder at 15 and put on lithium. i wish someone had told me about the side effects of lithium were and what i could expect by taking it. i think maybe they didn't tell me because they had such a hard time getting me to take it in the first place when i got off lithium i pretty much lost my taste for soda, but the damage had been done, i had gained 150 pounds and my teeth had become brittle. i found out later that lithium by itself causes teeth issues, then add 10 years of drinking a least a two litter of coke or pepsi a day and now i have lots of dental bills and more to come. when i quit drinking soda i immediatley lost 30 pounds and was able to quit taking all heartburn medicine.... i've managed to lose 85 pounds but i love to drink carbonated water i drink about 4 1/2 litters a week, is that ok?

I was having trouble posting the other night, so I posted again about vitamins in soft drinks because the first post didn't show up and now it's there. Sorry for the double post. (=^_^=)

Have you heard about Diet Coke Plus? Pepsi is doing it too. The plus is they are adding vitamins. How funny is that! Here, have some synthetic vitamins with your aspartame. It's sad that some actually fall for this. (=^_^=)
