Watch out for “fizzy” drinks
June 1, 2007
Got a nasty pop habit? Might wanna kick it ASAP. One of my friends brags that he drinks a Coke a day, can’t wait to tell him what I just learned…
Fizzy drinks are bad for you. Shocker, I know. Fizzy (carbonated) drinks were #1 on Dr Gillian McKeith’s top 10 worst foods list on her TV show, You Are What You Eat.
Kevin Trudeau (Natural Cures ‘They’ Don’t Want You To Know About) also advises avoiding fizzy drinks as well. Why?
Well, first of all they are loaded in sugar. A can of Coke has about 40 grams (roughly 13 teaspoons) of the nasty white stuff. Don’t think sugar is all that bad? Check out my May 16 post “Avoid white sugar…” to see how wrong you are.
Secondly, fizzy drinks have no nutritional value. At least beer (http://beer.about.com/od/beernutrition/a/beernutrition.htm) or wine (antioxidants)have some redeeming qualities. Pops really are all negative.
The diet ones are even worse. Aspartame, Splenda, etc, may have few or no calories, but according to Kevin Trudeau, they are just toxins, or man-made poisons.
Fizzy drinks also may block absorption of vitamins & minerals. According to Kevin Trudeau they can prevent calcium absorption which can lead to conditions such as arthritis or osteoporosis. My Coke-a-day friend was diagnosed with juvenile-onset arthritis about about age 14. May just be a coincidence…or maybe not. He certainly isn’t doing himself any favors. Drink water (filtered), and do one for your body.
