The Wonder Beverage

Yup, Soda, again. What's with this stuff? There are more and more reports coming out about the "Side Effects" of Soda caused by long term consumption as well as consuming large amounts. From a business standpoint, this product has had unspeakable success. From the cute little Christmas Polar Bears skating on ice to Olympic Athletes on the sides of the cans...great marketing plan. However, lets look at the damage shall we?? You know there has to be something wrong with it for me to write about it right?

So here's the scoop. Soda is made up of three great, wonderful ingredients known as Glucose, Fructose and the almighty Caffeine. Continued consumption of this wonder Burp beverage causes an unhealthy drop in potassium and unless you also have an addiction to Bananas, this is going to cause a problem. The effects you may see range anywhere from mild weakness to paralysis. The other damage is an obvious one, Tooth Decay, and the not so obvious, bone demineralization, Diabetes, development of Metabolic Syndrome and Hypokalemia. Hypokalemia is caused by the low potassium levels.

So if TV commercials showed reality, you'd see those cute Polar Bears nudging each other around in wheel chairs and smiling with missing teeth. So Drink UP!! Soda is SOOO Good you can clean the corrosion off your car battery with it, so there is no way its harmful to the body right??

  2. Sorry I can't figure this comment thing out yet...add/delete. Great article. Diet is best on batteries the Trucks run dual lead acid batteries and corrosion is a constant. Diet is cheaper & better than the chemicals they sell at auto stores! I will put it on film for you....But hey how about some suggestions on alternatives, my kids consume gallons of fluids daily at this time of year and there is no soda in our house. Thanks
