10 Reasons to Avoid Soda Pop

Here is a list of ten reasons to avoid soda pop complete with simplified explanations. There are subtle differences in brands of soda pop and the chemicals listed below vary in proportion from one formula to the next, but are contained is varying degrees in most soda pop formulas.

1. The phosphoric acid dilutes the hydrochloric acid in the digestive tract causing poor digestion.

2. The phosphoric acid spikes the body pH to an acid state from an alkaline state creating an excellent environment for disease to take hold.

3. Adding the extra phosphorous to the body sets off the 1 to 1 ratio of calcium and phosphorous required in the blood and calcium is removed from bones and teeth to restore the balance. This exchange action causes osteoporosis.

4. Carbonation irritates the stomach. The body calls for calcium to calm the irritation once again disrupting the calcium - phosphorous balance and removing calcium from bones and teeth.

5. Carbonation causes belching which in turn causes acids from the stomach to rise up past the esophageal value (acid reflux). The stomach acid dissolves tissue as is its purpose, causing lesions to occur. Lesions are tissue damage where cancer cells can take hold.

6. Caffeine causes dehydration thus causing a massive depletion of vital minerals.

7. Sugar also causes dehydration and a massive loss of vital minerals.

8. Sugar reduces the white blood cells ability to destroy bacteria. This low immune function can last up to 5 hours after sugar is consumed.

9. Sugar substitutes used in sugarless pops have not been adequately researched and have been linked to dangerous chemicals and environmental toxins.

10. Despite the plastic coating on the inside of soda pop cans, aluminum is still leached into the soda pop. Aluminum in brain tissue is linked to Alzheimer's disease.

This is the time of year when there is the most soda pop consumption. The information listed above has caused me to rethink my attitude about what I drink.

Heavy Metals Linked to Cancer

Heavy metals like cadmium, arsenic, lead, mercury, nickle, iron, copper, aluminum, and beryllium have been linked to causing cancer and other dread diseases and disorders. These heavy metals are found in the air we breath, the food we eat, and the water we drink. They are virtually everywhere. They cannot be avoided. It is possible to limit exposure if someone would know all of the exposures and limit one's activities to avoid them, but there would still be unknown exposures. The trick is to live a lifestyle without fear in the face of heavy metal exposure and potential cancer diagnosis.

The problem is that these free radical heavy metals replace other vital minerals in the body causing immune deficiencies. Enzyme activity is disrupted when heavy metals replace these minerals. This enzyme disruption can cause DNA damage to cells and cause cancers to occur.

Zinc finger proteins are necessary for cell division. If mercury or cadmium has replaced the zinc in this protein, cell division cannot occur in those cells. This causes problems with healing from wounds, or surgeries, etc.

Miracle Cancer Survivors

Image via Wikipedia

There are people who survive cancer without medical intervention or despite medical intervention. Patients who were sent home to die under hospice care or people who refused medical intervention suddenly stage a miraculous and unprecedented recovery. How does this happen?

The medical community dismissed it as a fluke, as expected. What they don't know, they don't want to know. What they don't know can hurt and kill others. The close mindedness of some doctors absolutely astounds and frustrates me. I thought they all had scientific interests and should jump at a chance to examine such events.

It appears that there is a link between unrelated illness during cancer that triggers an immune response that strengthens the immune system to fight the cancer as well. Can an active and vibrant immune system fight and kill cancer cells? Can alternative and complementary health care be more than a placebo effect for cancer patients? It seems that this may be the case. Nutrition and supplementation may be the new cancer treatment.

Complementary Medicine for Cancer

Many people have now turned to complementary medicine to help with the effects of cancer and cancer treatment. This is not to say that any of them have rejected traditional medicine, just supplement it with extras like prayer and meditation, nutritional supplements, relaxation techniques and more.

My middle daughter has used those listed above with great results. Oral chelation with supplements removed the toxins that come with the chemotherapy before they could make her sick. A nutrition supplement replenished her dietary needs. Prayer and meditation relaxed her and put her in an accepting frame of mind.
