So we have all heard the buzz about how bad soft drinks are for your health. So here are the top 10 reasons why the drinks are so bad for you:
1.Soft drinks steal water from the body.
2. Soft Drinks never quench your thirst, certainly not your body's need for water.
3. The elevated levels of phosphates in soft drinks leach vital minerals from your body.
4. Soft Drinks can remove rust from a car bumper or other metal surfaces.
5. The high amounts of sugar in Soft Drinks causes your pancreas to produce an abundance of insulin, which leads to a "sugar crash".
6. Soft Drinks severely interfere with digestion.
7. Diet soft drinks contain Aspartame, which has been linked to depression, insomnia, neurological disease and a plethora of other illness.
8. Soft Drinks are EXTREMELY acidic, so much so that they can eat through the liner of an aluminum can and leach aluminum from the can if it sits on the shelf too long.

I believe soft drinks are not all terrible. Of course anything that you take advantage of is eventually going to catch up with you. But soft drinks in moderation I don't think are going to kill you...hopefully!

It is good to see all the bad things about coke. It reminds me why I very rarely drink them.
ReplyDeleteWell I agree that there are many better things you could be drinking... but everything in moderation.... all this talk about how soft drinks are the worst thing you could put in your body…. This reminds me of a conversation I had with one of the guys that worked with me on the farm one summer. Somehow the subject came up about the comparison between the effects of coke and heroin or cocaine or whatever the most shocking drug is at that time. The older man made the comment “I have been in and of jail most of my life, and I have never heard of anyone stabbing or shooting anyone in order to get another coke fix….I can’t say the same for the other drugs”…. Don’t believe everything you read….
