7 side effects of soda
1. phosphoric acid-weakens bones and rots teeth
2.excessive artificial sweeteners-makes you crave more
3.caramel color-made from the chemical caramel,is purely cosmetic,it doesn't add flavor yet is tainted with carcinogens
4.formaldehyde-carignogen,it is not added in soda but when you ingest aspartame it will break down into 2 amino acids and methanol=formic acid+formaldehyde (diet sodas)
5.high fructose corn syrup-is a concentrated form of sugar,fructose derived from corn.It increases body fat,cholesterol and triglycerides and it also makes you hungry.
6.potassium benzoate-=preservative that can be broken down to benzene in your body.Keep you soda in the sun and benzene=carcinogen.
7.food dyes-impaired brain function,hyperactive behavior,difficulty focusing,and lack of impulse control.

Hmm.. I knew it rotted your teeth out and probably contains Monsanto's corn syrup, but this does add a few other reasons to cut back on sodas... Personally, I prefer artificial sweet iced tea with corn syrup and dye over soda anyhow... :p

"let all things be done in moderation".....anything done to an extreme can be harmful....but thinking everything will kill you has a negative placebo effect that causes more harm than the items you fear.

Just think its proven that often up to 20% of folks can be cured by a sugar pill...thinking you going to get sick has the same negative effect... :(
