Take a look at the wrapper on a Coca-Cola 1.5 liter bottle and in the ingredients label, you will find phosphoric acid in it. Minute quantities of ethylene glycol are also used (which is acknowledged in the soft drink world for making it really chill). This is popularly known as anti-freeze which prevents water from freezing at 0 deg C and instead drops it 4-5 degrees within minutes. This chemical is a known slow poison in the class of arsenic.
So, if you manage to drink about 2 liters of Coke within an hour, you can die. Read along and give up these dangerous things. Be natural; have flavored milks, tender coconuts, buttermilk, lassi,
yogurt, coffee, tea or plain water instead of these "soft" drinks. Guess what's the pH for soft drinks- Coke/
Pepsi? PH 3.4! This acidity is strong enough to dissolve teeth and bones! Our human body stops building bones at the age of about 30. Softdrinks do not have any nutrition value (in terms of vitamins & minerals). It is high in sugar content, carbonic acid, chemicals and colorings.
Many loke to take cold soft drinksafter each meal. Guess what is the impact? Our body needs an optimum temperature of 37 degrees Celsius for digestive enzyme functioning. The temperature of cold soft drinks is very much below 37 degrees or even close to 0 degrees Celsius. This will dilute the enzymes & stress the digestive system. The food taken will not be digested. In fact it will be fermented! The fermented food produces gases,decays, become toxic, gets absorbed by the intestines, circulates in the blood stream and is carried to the whole body. Hence toxin is cumulated in other parts of the body, developing into various diseases.
Think again before you drink Coke/Pepsi (or any soft drink).
Have you ever thought what you are putting in your body when you drink an aerated drink?
You gulp down carbon dioxide- nobody in the world would advise you to drink CO2. Two months back, there was a competition at New Delhi University "Who could drink the most Coke?" The winner drank 8 bottles and fainted on the spot- too much CO2 in the blood. Thereafter, the principal banned all soft drinks from the college canteen!
Did you know that soft drinks use chemicals in them that cause immense harm to you. Someone put a broken tooth in abottle of Pepsi and in 10 days it dissolved! Teeth and bones are the only human parts that stay intact for years after death. Imagine what the drink must be doing to your soft intestines and stomach lining!
