Diet Sodas appear to be as bad as regular
Researchers stated that according to a recent study, consumption of diet sodas may be just as bad as the sugar laden variety.
They found adults drinking one or more sodas per day, diet or regular, had a 50% higher risk of developing “Metabolic Syndrome”.
A person with metabolic syndrome can expect to have double the risk of heart disease and stroke. Also a greater chance of diabetes.
The study involved 6,000 people who were followed over the course of 4 years.
For the past several years I have been recommending to my good friends and clients, AVOID SODA. This is one of the foundational steps necessary, if you expect to experience vibrant health.
Researchers seemed to be struggling as to why the diet sodas were as bad as regular. Nowhere did I see a mention of the fact that sodas are extremely acid forming in the body. I believe this is the real reason sodas are so damaging, they make it almost impossible to have a balanced pH. Getting your body alkaline by balancing your pH is a critical step towards total well-being.
