Me too! I love Coke in the little bottle, especially at Christmastime with Santa on it.
In the book “Natural Cures They Don’t Want You To Know About,” the author says that diet drinks are known as liquid crack because of all the chemicals that are used. Also, Aspertame is an “autotoxin” like MSG. He also says that you’re better off drinking the real thing with sugar than the diet drink because diet drinks cause the body to hold on to fat.
I used to drink four cans of soda a day. For the past 8 months, it’s pretty much been H2O for me, and I’ve never felt better.
Sodas are poison, diet or regular.
If you can find anything with real sugar.... High Fructose Corn Syrup has replaced can sugar in nearly every soda and premade food anymore... I personally thing HFCS is responsible for all the health problems and obesity we are seeing more than anything else.
Its the single biggest dietary change that americans have undergone in the last few decades, its replaced real sugar in everything.
Autotoxins are developed within the body. How does aspartame, which has to be consumed, qualify as an autotoxin?
Just about anything can be toxic if you consume enough of it. Even drinking too much water can kill you. Aspartame is made up of phenylalanine, which is an amino acid found in all proteins; aspartic acid which is another amino acid common in vegetables; and methanol, which is common in fruit. A glass of apple juice contains more methanol than several diet cokes.
How can these components be toxic as aspartame but not when we consume them naturally in the food we eat every day?
He also says that you’re better off drinking the real thing with sugar than the diet drink because diet drinks cause the body to hold on to fat.
I'm willing to bet the author of this has never passed a course in basic nutrition or physiology.
