![]() Sugar gives nothing of value and takes away a lot. Yes, the combination of sugar and caffeine and other chemicals are not good, but if you eat/drink sugar in anything (or on it's own of course), it will make your blood acidic and your bodies minerals will go towards counteracting the negative effects of sugar that would otherwise be used to maintain your health (as people here have already explained). I see some of you have written about teeth or bone problems being related to soda specifically. Remember it's not just soda that's the problem. This girl is healthier now with two major illnesses because of giving up bad chemicals that I used to eat and drink, several times a day. We need water! And always choose real, raw sugar or honey to sweeten food or beverages. ![]() Most Americans are chronically dehydrated. Going out to eat, it is what most people drink, always. It is scary to me that it is so normalized in our society. I changed my life just in time to, in my opinion, save my life. I suffer from these symptoms, dizziness, numbness, memory loss, chronic fatigue, and many others. I don't think at that point there would be any way to come back from that, but it would still be important to stop further damage to keep quality of life. There are even preliminary studies that shows that aspartame is so toxic, that it can create the brain lesions that occur in MS. It is true that large doses of aspartame can and does cause MS symptoms, so if one were to remove that from the diet after many years I am sure those symptoms would improve. I gave up both a soda and coffee with fake sweetener addiction after being diagnosed four years ago. I'm not saying soda really benefits anyone, and the report in this blog is perfectly credible, but a lot of people will believe anything they read, especially if it's on the internet. That's about as ridiculous as telling someone fruit is bad for you. It's the high fructose corn syrup that's the issue, not fructose. Some have even been proven safe to consume during pregnancy.Īs for fructose - no one would be appalled if you gave your kid an apple, right? Well fructose is sugar that comes from fruit. Of course you'd see negative effects in that case! That would be like an average adult eating gallons of pure aspertame a day!Īrtificial sweeteners are generally ok when eaten in moderation. The researchers gave mice the amount a 250 pound man would get. My dietician explained that the studies involving the effects of aspertame were so far away from daily dosing that they're pretty much a pile of crap. Time to grab another?Īctually, the amount of aspertame/formaldehyde in a diet soda is nowhere near harmful. You may become irritable and/or sluggish. Your body has eliminated the water that was in the soda, and in the process, it was infused with nutrients and minerals your body would have otherwise used to hydrate your system or build body cells, bones, teeth. And you will also flush out the sodium, electrolytes and water. (You have to GO!) Your body will eliminate the bonded calcium, magnesium and zinc that was otherwise headed to your bones. The caffeine’s diuretic properties come into play. High doses of sugar and artificial sweeteners compound this effect, increasing the urinary excretion of calcium. > 60 minutes: The phosphoric acid binds calcium, magnesium and zinc in your lower intestine, which boosts your metabolism a bit further. This physical neuro response works the same way as it would if we were consuming heroin. 45 minutes: Your body increases dopamine production, causing you to feel pleasure and adding to the addictiveness of the beverage. Adenosine receptors in your brain are blocked preventing you from feeling how tired you may actually be. 40 minutes: As your body finishes absorbing the caffeine, your pupils dilate, your blood pressure rises, and your liver pumps more sugar into the bloodstream. Your pancreas attempts to maximize insulin production in order to turn high levels of sugar into fat. 20 minutes: Your blood sugar skyrockets. You'd normally vomit from such an intake, but the phosphoric acid cuts the flavor. 10 minutes: 10 teaspoons of sugar hit your system, which is 100 percent of your recommended daily intake.
