Just for the Taste Of It? Sodas Linked to Heart Disease


Shocking reports on CNN News tell the tale many have been fearing for some time.

Sodas can kill you in more ways than you know.

1. People who drink just one, or more, sodas a day have a 50% higher risk of developing a syndrome that contributes to heart disease than those who don’t.

More than 6000 soda-swigging people studied showed symptoms of metabolic syndrome which is linked to heart disease, said the researchers at the American Heart Association.

2. Penicillin (comes from mold) found in sodas cause hives and other skin illnesses, and make us impervious to its healing components over time.

3. And finally, sodas create a higher phosphate level in our bodies, and lowers our calcium level, which sucks the calcium straight from out bones, sources say.

Proponents of alternative health suggest trying mineral water as a great alternative to soda drinking.

Mix it with fresh organic juice to satisfy your thirst as well as provide some good nutrition.
