Soft drinks suck for three main reasons: 1) Phosphoric Acid, which has a pH of just over 2, 2) Diet sodas have aspartame (Nutrasweet), which metabolizes into Vitamin C (not bad), methyl alcohol (causes retinal damage, blindness, and other nerve damage), and formaldehyde (which preserves animal specimens, but also causes cancer), 3) Corn Syrup (which causes inflammation and, oddly, low blood sugar). Soft drinks suck.

    You must be smoking crack. 70′s is way too hairy.

    …If you want to see good , rent a Rocco Siffredi production, or anything with Belladonna in it. THAT is how you do it.

    Soft drinks suck because they are not a nutrient rich whole food. Now on the other hand, 70′s does NOT suck!

    wowza…I definitely need a better alternative to soda. There is a Trader Joe’s not too far from my house, I guess I should look for something there.

    Read some of the other comments in the comments section of this and Part 1, where another guy posts about how the benzoate in certain soft drinks actually reacts with the vitamin C in aspartame, to create benzene, which is highly carcinogenic.

    christ! I had no idea, I knew it was a bad drink to cnsume due to chemicals but I had no idea what they actually did…I am addicted, I need to quit though, I’m going to find alternate

    Well, supposedly not ALL wheat and soy.

    Oh, okay. Well, someone else in here posted that when sodium benzoate is used as a preservative in a number of these sodas (such as Mountain Dew, I believe), that the benzoate half (which is the de-acidified portion of benzoic acid) combines with vitamin C to create pure benzene… and benzene is insanely, horrendously carcinogenic.

    Solo is kind of like a lemonade flavoure’d drink,really nice,but i didnt know it had so much crap in it as you said.

    Im drinking a can of Sunkist right now and i have to say all this talk of degrees and celcius and such is turning me off it….i prefer Solo anyways…

  13. TheLogicJunkie Says:

    Yeah, I’ve been reading about how the genetically-modified crops actually can’t be broken down properly by the human digestive system OR reasonable cooking temperatures.

    …In fact, there’s a video here on YouTube from a documentary on GMO soy and, apparently, it doesn’t get broken down until 200 degrees Celsius or something, which is insane…especially when you consider that water boils at 100 degrees Celsius.

    Hopefully I’ve got the Celsius part right.

    Sodas low pH is a problem if you are do not absorb calcium. You require calcium to reduce stomach or soda acid. Generally, your stomach will not produce any more acid then it can reduce. Activated pepsin will digest the small intestine, the pH needs to go up above 4 to swich off the digestive stomach enzymes.

    Wheat, soy, also are genetically modified, undigestable.

    most corn syrups are derived from genetically modified corn. Geneically modified corn may be undigestable. Undigested food is highly poisonous to lifeforms.

    Yes, well, I guess I have to figure out a way to move the camera around and take it other places and so on.

    I would like to buy a new hi-res camera and all that. Keep in mind that all this is new to me.

    Well, that’s something interesting.

    It turns out that the statin drugs operate on the premise that it’s immune cells which lay down the fatty deposits that clog arteries, and so statin drugs suppress immune function to lower cholesterol plaques.

    But guess what? One of the jobs of the immune system is to kill off cancer cells that pop up. So if you suppress it, cancer can develop much more easily.

    i’d like to hear more about how the cholesterol pills creat cancer. that sounds pretty interesting

    Well, juice is probably a lot better, but, still, sugar is sugar. However… it’s a sight better than soda.

    I would say it might be best to dilute the juice somewhat, just so the overall sugar intake isn’t so high. Also, lemon juice in water is amazingly good for you… the citric acid is a powerful anti-microbial and anti-calcification agent, so it might prevent hardening of the arteries and premature aging.

    And, also, for a sweetener, look into agave syrup…

    i think this is the first time i’ve heard you drop the f bomb. well done, nice to meet the real logic junkie. thanks for the info on why soda is garbage. i recently banned it from my house, and my wife and step-son probably think im insane… however, i knew it was expensive and for us. i’ve switched over to juice… although im not sure its much better!?!

    Yeah, I like lemonade.

    Very good. Although I do not drink soft drinks, I find lemonade works great if you feel sick. I think the carbonated liquid fizzes all the gunk from the stomach. If I have a hangover (hardly ever), I drink a pint of lemonade. Of course it doesn’t have to be lemonade, I’m sure carbonated water is just as effective.

    i liked part 1, you kinda lost me on part 2… you should repost your blood type diet video. i’ve been reading about that, but i’m not convinced of the science behind it.
