Soda Pop: What about soda pop? Parents, let’s make positive choices for our kids and ourselves. 

POP

 To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Cola into the
toilet bowl and let the "real thing" sit for one hour,
then flush clean. The citric acid in Cola removes
stains from vitreous china.

To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers:
Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds
Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Cola.

To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour
a can of Cola over the terminals to bubble
away the corrosion.
To loosen a rusted bolt: Apply a cloth soaked in Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.

To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of Cola
into the load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run
through a regular cycle. Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION:

The active ingredient in Cola is phosphoric acid. Phosphoric
acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major
contributor to the rising increase of osteoporosis.

 To carry Cola syrup (the concentrate) the
commercial trucks must use a hazardous Material place
cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.


WATER

#1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. Number one cause of headaches.
(Likely applies to half the world population.)


#2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak
that it is mistaken for hunger.


#3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as 3%.


#4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs
for almost 100% of the dieters studied.


#5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.


#6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of
water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain
for up to 80% of sufferers.


#7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term
memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on
the computer screen or on a ! printed page.


#8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of
colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast
cancer by 79%., and one is 50% less likely to develop
bladder cancer. Are you drinking the amount of water
you should drink every day?

Now the question is, would you like a glass of water?



Caffeine-Coffee-Cola

Numerous studies link caffeine to calcium loss contributing to osteoporosis, and more bone fractures. Calcium is robbed from our bones to neutralize every time we consume something acidic. A study printed in the January 1994 Journal of the American Medical Association found that women who drank just two cups of coffee a day increased their risk of hip fracture by 69 percent.

Cortisol is what our bodies produce when there is a fight or flight response needed. Taking a chemical that imposes this such as caffeine induces the state of stress continuously on the body and therefore also ages us more rapidly. This also reduces our immunity. Our main energy that is needed for normal metabolic function gets halted by caffeine toxemia.  This can stay in the blood stream for 18 hours after consuming caffeine.

In about 60 to 70 percent suffering from diabetes or hypoglycemia caffeine promotes even further blood sugar imbalances. Insulin and the amount of sugar in the blood is increased when caffeine is in the system. Numerous patients of J Curtis Nickel, MD were able to reverse their Type II Diabetes simply by omitting caffeine consumption.

The toxicity of caffeine can be found when trying to remove this stimulant from your diet. The withdrawal symptoms of detoxification alone should clue you into how terrible it is for our bodies. Common symptoms include headaches (caused by sudden increase circulation to the brain when blood flow is no longer constricted), fatigue, sleepiness, lethargy, irritability, depression, muscle pain and stiffness, and sometimes even flu like symptoms. The narcotic effect of caffeine is so powerful that its influence is abundantly clear when the addict reintroduces this stimulant and all symptoms vanish.

Social acceptance is a big reason we stay on our poor patterned choices. It is easy to pull one piece of research or information to try and justify that something is good for us. Are there antioxidants in coffee? Yes, but they also exist in heroin and cocaine. If you want the best antioxidants try raw grape skins (again that is no reason to drink them mixed with ethyl alcohol as some researchers push). It is best to get your antioxidants and polyphenols (plant compounds) from real whole raw plant food sources. Those avoiding fructose can acquire these from green raw vegetables, which are also high in fiber, minerals, and absorbable vitamins. (Hippocrates Volume 26, Issue 4 Aliveraw.com Dr. Brian Clement)

We used to think coffee was a wonderful way to spike our energy. Sadly coffee dehydrates us, raises our cortisol levels (aging us rapidly), and makes us acidic. Coffee also hurts our natural intestinal flow, raises anxiety to high levels, aggression and blood pressure, along with staining our teeth as the least of the issues. Coffee is a depressant which in the long run does not help with raising energy. Coffee makes our anxiety heightened and therefore hurting our ability to focus. Coffee has also been linked to cancer. Heating the coffee bean creates the chemical Methylglyoxal, benzopyrene, and chlorogenic atractyosides.  A 1981 study from the Harvard School of Public Health concluded that drinking coffee was the cause of half of all pancreatic cancer cases. It also found that drinking three cups of coffee a day increased the risk of pancreatic cancer by three times. Furthermore, all disease is promoted in an acidic environment and the goal of health is to create an alkaline body.

A healthy body maintains a blood pH of around 7.3. Coffee is 25.1 on the acidic scale. Caffeine causes a large amount of sugar to be released into the bloodstream. The pancreas reacts by releasing an excessive amount of insulin. The sugar is burned by the body rapidly producing quick energy. Caffeine can cause chromosomes in the cell’s nucleus to break apart. These genes get re-arranged by the toxin. This defect can be seen in the delivery room of hospitals.  Coffee also increases urination frequency which inhibits absorption of nutrients (especially Iron). Decaffeinated Coffee is just as bad as an even more acidic than regular coffee. With most our world already being toxic from our everyday diets high in acidity this is the last thing we need to add.

Anxiety - Since caffeine is a stimulant it interferes with adenosine, which is actually a brain chemical that helps to calm us down. We all know that panic attacks arise from situations that leave us at the opposite end of calm, so if caffeine is affecting this process within the brain, it is obviously going to lead to more frequent and more severe attacks. Caffeine also raises our lactate levels which are a known contributor in producing panic attacks.

If you are addicted to the taste of Coffee try “Teeccino”. It is non-acidic and tastes just like coffee. Teeccino comes in many flavors.  Tastes amazing through an espresso machine with coconut creamer.
