3 Reasons to Avoid All Soda
That innocent-looking can of soda pop – no matter what it’s sweetened with – may be taking a toll on your immunity. Here’s why:
- People who drink sodas instead of healthy beverages are less likely to get adequate vitamin A, calcium, and magnesium. What’s more, soda contains phosphoric acid that depletes calcium and magnesium. These two nutrients help keep your immunity operating at peak efficiency.
- Sodas containing high-fructose corn syrup also contain high levels of free radicals linked to tissue damage, the development of diabetes, and diabetic complications. Plastic soda (and water) bottles contain a toxic chemical called bisphenol A (BPA) that can leak from bottles into soda…into you. Emerging evidence links BPA to a myriad of maladies, including immune system depression. Public health experts recommend that we protect children from exposure to products containing BPA – especially those they consume or use every day.
- Diet soda actually contributes to weight gain. A study of 1,550 people concluded that people who drink diet soda have a 41 percent increased risk of being overweight or obese – for every can or bottle they drink per day! Turns out, any sweet taste signals body cells to store fat and carbohydrates, which makes you hungrier. Sweet tastes also promote insulin release, which blocks your body’s ability to burn fat. The hard truth: No published study has ever proven that drinking diet soda will help you lose weight.
Bottom Line: Start replacing diet soda and other artificially flavored drinks with pure water today. Flavor water with lemon, lime, mint or berries. You can also incorporate seltzer to add carbonation to your drink.
