Soft Drinks..... Are They Only Giving You The Fizz Pleasure?

Healing With Vitamins by Prevention Magazine states that "Canned soda contains excess phosphorus, a mineral that could lead to the leaching of calcium from your bones, a potential cause of osteoporosis."
Soda may provide you with instant gratification of quenching your "thirst" for sweet and fizz; however, the long-term and excess consumption can lead to loss of calcium.
"It appears that increased soft-drink consumption is a major factor that contributes to osteoporosis" (The Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, Michael T. Murray, N. D.)
According to Russell Blaylock, M.D. in Health and Nutrition Secrets That Can Save Your Life, "One study of 460 young, very active girls found that those who drank colas were five times likely to suffer fractures than girls of equal activity who avoided soft drinks."
Soda drinks do not contain any valuable nutrition; they rob your nutrition. Next time, when you are craving for fizz pleasure, imagine your calcium leaching out of your body.
