Can a can of soda pop kill you?

Today the timely message about health is by my great friend and health motivator, Steven Jenkins. Steven is also an incredible health coach, and has affordable life-changing seminars and body "cleanses."

Take it away Steve.....

"Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. " -- 1 Corintheans 10:31.

Would you like to improve your health and save money at the same time? I have a healthy suggestion. Avoid drinking soft drinks! This can be a challenge, because it's easy to drink 4-5 a day without even thinking about it! They are really hard on the bones and the rest of the body.

Phosphoric acid gives drinks the bubbles along with C02. Though it tickles going down, phosphoric acid is no laughing matter. It robs the body of calcium and can contribute to osteoporosis. The lack of calcium causes the bones to be porous and prone to fractures.

A study from Harvard showed athletic teenage girls who drink soft drinks are five times more likely to suffer bone fractures. My 18 year old daughter used to consume soft drinks like I consume water and her weight gain was evident, not to mention the ravenous effects from the acid and sugar. Fortunately, she no longer is "addicted" to them, but she is still dealing with being over weight.

The average cola has 12 teaspoons of sugar in each can. This gives it a sweet taste, but at a high price. The over consumption of sugar can lead to diabetes or hypoglycemia. In children, studies show an increase in both tooth decay and obesity.

In an attempt to be healthy, many people start drinking sugar-free products. Splenda is not a good substitute for sugar. According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, Splenda has been linked to a number of toxic side effects including shrunken thymus glands (up to 40 percent shrinkage), enlarged liver and kidneys, reduced growth rate, aborted pregnancy, and diarrhea.

Aspartame (Nutra-sweet) is another popular substitute. It is an artificial sweetener with bitter affects on the body. Based on the research of Russell Blaylock, MD and H.J. Roberts, MD some possible problems are:

• Muscle aches


• Headaches


• Dizziness


• Numbness


• Depression


• Hyperactivity


• Seizures


• High blood pressure


• Brain tumors

Caffeine stimulates the adrenal glands and gives you a "lift" from drinking a soft drink. The old saying "what goes up must comedown," is absolutely true. Caffeine causes over stimulation and leads to mood swings, fatigue, and other disorders.

You are asking yourself, "What can I drink?" Good question. Here are five suggestions:

1. Purified Water


2. Sparkling Water


3. Herb Tea (Caffeine-free)


4. Green Tea


5. Fresh Fruit or Vegetable Juice

The money you spend on soft drinks really adds up. How many do you drink in one week?

• With a meal


• As a snack


• While driving


• While studying


• Whenever you feel thirsty


• Whenever you feel down


• While watching television


• While on the internet


• While listening to music


• While on the cell phone


• While walking through the mall

Multiply the number of sodas you consume per week times the cost of one drink. Then multiply that expense times 52 weeks per year. You could easily spend $500+ in a year on soft drinks. Save the money and spend it on a relaxing vacation instead!

If you will just eliminate soft drinks from your life style, your health will improve dramatically. If you are someone who has been diagnosed with cancer, or some other illness, PLEASE get off of these deadly drinks!

Until next time....

"The Doctor of the Future will give NO Medicine, but will interest his patients in diet and nutrition, exercise and the care of the human frame. He will teach them about the cause of ALL disease."--Thomas Edison
