WHATS SO WRONG WITH SODA POP?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Recently, while teaching a workshop, one of the students asked, \u201cwhat is\u00a0so wrong<\/i>\u00a0with drinking soda\u201d.\u00a0 I paused and asked her \u201cwhat is so\u00a0right\u00a0<\/i>about drinking soda\u201d.\u00a0 She was silent.\u00a0 I allowed her a long pause to process the question.\u00a0 When she broke the silence she said quietly, \u201cI don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n

We all know there is nothing healthy about drinking soda pop.\u00a0 The \u201cregular\u201d soda has high amounts of sugar which has been proven over and over again to be extremely taxing on the human body.\u00a0 From internal and vascular inflammation to insulin resistance \u2013 just the alarming amount of sugar is enough to say STOP!\u00a0 But when you think about the ingredients \u2013 most of which we cannot pronounce let alone identify what chemical it is \u2013 that\u2019s when we realize that soda is full of\u00a0stuff<\/b>\u00a0and none of it is natural or healthy!.<\/p>\n

Diet soda is even worse.\u00a0 YES, even worse than the sugared stuff.\u00a0 The body believes the sweetness is caused by sugar thus it responds by releasing insulin.\u00a0 But guess what??\u00a0 NO sugar.\u00a0 So what happens to all the insulin?\u00a0 The body has to figure out what to do with it. And that\u2019s a damaging task.\u00a0\u00a0 In the mean time, there is an artificial sweetener running through the blood stream and now the liver has to figure out what to do with that!<\/p>\n

How much toxic chemicals (called soda pop) do we have to consume before we realize the body is not designed to digest or assimilate it?\u00a0 How do we expect our body to rise up to the challenges of all we want\/need to do when we fuel it with chemicals the body can\u2019t utilize but must also find a way to cleanse those same chemicals out.\u00a0 \u00a0And when will we stop serving soda to our children?<\/p>\n

Schools districts who have removed the soda from their vending machines and filled them with water instead, found the students and staff had more consistent energy levels, more focus and less disciplinary issues.\u00a0\u00a0 Hummm\u2026.\u00a0 Still want to drink that soda?<\/p>\n
