Cola Drinks, a Poison to be Avoided -- and the American Public

Cola Drinks and the American Public

I am constantly amazed at the amount of Cola drinks that Americans consume. According justdrinks.com, soft drink consumption worldwide in the year 2007 was 552 billion liters. That's 83.6 liters for every child, women and men on the planet. It is estimated by the year 2012, consumption will have risen to 95 liters per person.

It is of course important to bring out the point that some people, myself included, never drink soft drinks or any cola drinks. So that makes someone's consumption out there a lot more than the 83.6 figure that was just mentioned.

It is especially disturbing to see the amount of Cola drinks that are given to children. I'm always impressed by the rationalization that goes on when you talk about these kinds of drinks. I get this constantly on my weekly radio show when people will call up and ask how much soda is too much soda. Even when you mention that phosphoric acid, which is a component of the top cola brand drinks, is a harmful acidic substance in any quantity, people still talk about moderation. That's kind of like telling a person not to use too much heroine in their next injection, when heroine in any amount is harmful. Any cola drink in any amount is also harmful.

There is an article on my AskDrRon.com website under special reports that can give people a great insight into what happens to them when they drink a cola drink. This particular article deals specifically with Coca-Cola, although the same is true for any cola drink containing phosphoric acid. Here's the link http://www.cherubhealth.com/special_reports

There are so many decent natural substitutes in lieu of drinking colas that more and more people are deciding to kick the cola habit every day. Naturally carbonated sodas and flavored waters, some of which are available in the natural health food section of your supermarket or whole foods store, are a healthy alternative to these toxic cola drinks.

Hopefully the article on my website will be helpful, but if you need quick ammunition and a reminder of how bad colas really are here are some talking points to remember. Colas contain, phosphoric acid which is terribly acidic and dangerous, high levels of sugar or artificial sweeteners which are both harmful, caffeine which can be addictive and is a questionable drug when it comes to children.
One final thought from the article "the Coke itself is not the enemy here, it's the dynamic combo of massive sugar doses combined with caffeine and phosphoric acid, things which are found in almost all soda."
