Antioxidant Ingredients In Health Drinks

When we consume phosphoric acid, our body needs to pull calcium into our blood to balance the phosphorus. Where does that calcium come from? Bones and teeth!

I used to work for a dentist who constantly corrected the notion that kids should brush their teeth after having sodas. He would say "Skip the soda". Why? Sodas are a double-jeopardy junk food. They not only are sugar on the teeth, but are phosphorus in the blood.

When we drink sodas we lose calcium. Here are a few comments from experts:

"Phosphoric acid is used primarily in the manufacture of fertilizers, detergents, and pharmaceuticals. In the steel industry, it is used to clean and rustproof products. Phosphoric acid provides a tart, acidic flavor in foods and beverages such as jams, cheese and beer."- http://pregnancy.parenthood.com/articles.html?article_id=7021

"Animal studies demonstrate that phosphorus, a common ingredient in soda, can deplete bones of calcium. And two recent human studies suggest that girls who drink more soda are more prone to broken bones." - http://www.healthregeneration.com/articles/phosphorus.html


"What's found in soft drinks?


* Aspartame - used in diet soft drinks, is a potent neurotoxin and endocrine disrupter.



* Caffeine - stimulates the adrenal gland without providing nourishment. In large amounts, caffeine can lead to adrenal exhaustion, especially in children.



* Phosphoric acid - added to give soft drinks "bite," is associated with calcium loss.



* Citric acid - often contains traces of MSG, a neurotoxin.



* Artificial Flavors - may also contain traces of MSG.



* Water - may contain high amounts of fluoride and other contaminants. "

"Dr. Kenneth D. R. Setchell.

Paradoxically, high rates of hip fractures have been found in some countries with high calcium intakes. Nevertheless in the United States, the trend is toward increasing the level of recommended calcium intake. Clearly, there is more to the osteoporosis problem than calcium.

Regarding phosphate, I disagree with the notion that we do not have high phosphate intake in this country. Critical to bone and ultimately to the development of osteoporosis and hip fractures is bone mass acquired during development and puberty. When you look at current nutritional trends, children’s consumption of soda, which is high in sodium phosphate, is enormous. I think this may be leading to long-term detrimental effects on bone.- http://www.jacn.org/cgi/content/full/20/suppl_5/417S"

Wouldn't you love it if your kids had 2.5 oz. of Tahitian Noni Juice a day in a carbonated drink WITHOUT the high fructose corn syrup, artificial food colorings, and Phosphoric Acid?

Recently many school districts replaced sodas in the vending machines with neon-colored sports drinks and other processed drinks containing high fructose corn syrup, other food additives and possibly phosphoric acids too. How detrimental is that?

Kids and babyboomers need to pay attention to this. Kids are building the bones they will have later. Baby boomers - at least the older ones - probably built good bones when they were kids. Why ruin them now?

You can go right hereto order a healthy, refreshing antioxidant drink to have daily, serve often, and throw into the car cooler for road trips.
