"DANGER IN SOFT DRINKS"
Please read this. An interesting piece of information . . .
Have a look at the wrapper of a Coca-Cola 1.5 litre bottle and on the label containing the ingredients you will find that phosphoric acid is one of the components. Minute quantities of ethylene glycol are also used (which is acknowledged in the soft drink world for making it chilled).
This is popularly known as anti-freeze which prevents water from freezing at zero degrees Celsius. Instead, in minute quantities, the liquid drops about four to five degrees. This chemical is also a slow poison in the calibre of arsenic.
So, if you manage to drink about four litres of Coke within an hour or so, you can die. Read along and give up these dangerous things. Be natural: have flavoured milks, tender coconuts, buttermilk and plain water instead of these soft drinks. Guess what is the pH for soft drinks, for instance, Coke? pH 3.4! Such acidity is strong enough to dissolve teeth and bones!
Our human body stops building bones at the age of about thirty. Soft drinks do not have any nutrition value (in terms of vitamins and minerals). It is high in sugar content, carbonic acid and chemicals, i.e. colourings et cetera.
Some like to take cold soft drinks after each meal. Guess what is the impact? Our body needs an optimum temperature of thirty-seven degrees Celsius for the digestive enzyme to function. The temperature of cold soft drinks is very much below thirty-seven degrees Celsius or even close to zero degrees Celsius. This will dilute the enzymes and stress the digestive system. The food taken will not be digested. In fact, it will be fermented! The fermented food produces gases, decays and becomes toxin, gets absorbed by the intestine, circulates in the blood stream and is carried to the whole body. Hence, toxin is accumulated in other parts of the body, developing into various diseases.
Think before you drink Coke or Pepsi or any soft drink again.
Have you ever thought of what goes into your body when you consume an aerated drink?
You gulp down carbon dioxide, when nobody in the world would advise you to drink that gas. Two months back, there was a competition at Delhi whereby the contestants competed amongst one another to see who could drink the most Coke. The winner drank eight bottles and fainted on the spot due to too much carbon dioxide in the blood. Thereafter, the principal banned all soft drinks from the college canteen!
While this might have been an extreme measure, the case does provide some food for thought: soft drinks use chemicals that can cause immense harm to one's body.
Someone put a broken tooth into a bottle of Pepsi and within ten days, it DISSOLVED! Can you believe it? Teeth and bones are the only human parts that will stay intact for years after death. Imagine what the drink must be doing to your soft intestines and stomach lining!
A request to all: forward this message to your friends to increase their awareness about the great "assumed soft drinks". In India, people hesitate to pay Rs 7-8/- for a tender coconut but prefer to pay Rs. 10/- for soft drinks and down these dreadful products.
Please forward this to all your friends . . . because YOU CARE!
