Sometimes it's just the little things that we do to our body that tips us
over and puts us into a chronic health problem and this is actually about
poison in a can, what Soda pop does to your body.
Hey everyone, Dr. Jason West.
In today's topic we're gonna talk about is poison in a can or how to really really
make yourself sick, because the reason why people get sick is they're around
too many toxins, too many bad stuff that goes in their system and the biggest
source of that is soda pop consumption. So let's kind of talk about that.
I have three, well four, actually five big concerns with soda pop consumption and
the first one may not be what you think. Everybody thinks it's initially at the
sugar part or the high-fructose corn syrup and actually I'm more concerned
with artificial sweeteners, I think that those are really detrimental to your
health, especially if they're stored for long periods of time in a warm or
semi-warm environment because, for instance like aspartame, we know that there's
about 92 different conditions associated with poor health and it can break down
and develop into methanol, like wood alcohol and so that can be really really be
detrimental to your health. So artificial sweeteners are tough tough tough on
people. I think you're way better off if you drink soda that you drink then the
normal stuff versus the unleaded, but the normal stuff isn't that great either.
Did you know that the average American drinks about 55 gallons of soda pop per
year? And someone's getting my share because I don't drink it, so someone's
getting way way more than 55 gallons and the average soda pop contains 10
teaspoons of sugar and may contain between 30 and 55 milligrams of caffeine.
So it can be associated with sugar imbalance problems, a diabetes risk
factors, tremor heart problems, breast lumps skin conditions and I jokingly
tease people in office if you're gonna kill yourself by drinking poison in a can,
why don't you do it faster by drinking some antifreeze or some motor oil in it?
And it's probably inappropriate joke or comparison but there's major severe
side effects from drinking that much carbonation. One of the biggest concerns
we have if you just talk about balancing biochemistry equations, there's acid in a
soda pop can, the reason why its acids because that's what gives us the staying
or its pop and if you put acid into your stomach, which is an acidic
environment, in order for your body to alkalinize we have to borrow minerals
and vitamins in from the tissues and put it into the stomach to alkalize all the
acid in there, it also has the tendency, soda pop drinkers typically lose their
taste for fruits and vegetables. It does this funny thing in the system where you
just aren't appealing to eat natural fruits and vegetables and that more
natural that you eat, more alive foods that you eat, the more alive you are.
So we have the concern with artificial sweeteners with sugar we also with the
acid and then also coloring. I see a tremendous amount of people that have
food sensitivities are reacting to the food coloring then they're putting in
the soda either to make its brown color or it's yellow color or rich orange
color and those food colorings are not healthy for people that have toxicity.
And we've got all these toxins in our environment, we have herbicides, we have
pesticides and one of the things that I tell people is, you should only
eat food that spoils, you should just eat it before it spoils, and what I mean by
that is if the food is breaking down and it doesn't last very long out on your
counter, it's actually pretty healthy because if you put a food out there that
lasts forever, little bugs aren't going to eat it and we're just a bigger bug,
and when you see foods that last forever they're typically load
full of insecticides and because the food industry doesn't want to try and
market insecticides - because who would want to eat that - we actually change the
name and we call those food preservatives, but a food preservative is
an insecticide so to have a really long shelf life. It's not healthy
chemically, it's not healthy from an acid standpoint, from a food coloring
standpoint, from artificials standpoint and also if you put acid in sight type
of some type of metal container, my concern is that we're going to leave
some of those metal ions into the beverage and then you're going to drink
it and now you have a heavy metal toxicity. So there's a lot better things
to drink than soda pop.
I do consider it poison in the can. I think there's better
alternatives out there. Many people are saying, well I can't stand the taste of
juice or water or Gatorade or pickle juice or lemonade or whatever else it is
but we've chained our body to be that way and one of the barriers to healing
is people don't want to get better and they're sick and if you're choosing to
drink soda, it's really, you're choosing to not be as healthy as you could be.
You're surviving, you're not thriving. So one of the best things I recommend for
people is to drink water, you mix it with minerals, there's mineral mixes,
there's smoothie, there's lots of good things that are out there to drink that don't
have the acid and the caffeine in it. Now the other reason why people drink lots
and soda is because they're imbalanced, they're running out of energy and when
they run out of energy they're looking for a crutch and some people it's
chocolate, some people it's caffeine and many people it's soda. So if you do some
blood tests, you do some hormone tests, you know what you're deficient in and
you fix those deficiencies. What happens is you start to feel better and then
you're saying, well I don't really need that caffeinated drink in the afternoon
or in the morning to get going because it is slowly poisoning you. There's a
condition called toxic fat syndrome and I believe that you get the toxins inside
the fat cells, it's really hard for your body to get them out especially if
you're dehydrated and if you're drinking soda, you're never ever gonna get
hydrated. And I was driving on a road trip not too long ago, I almost drove off
the road when there was a rather famous doctor giving his thoughts on health and
he said, if you're drinking enough soda or drinking soda, you're getting enough
water because 70 percent of soda is water, and my response, "Are you kidding?"
It takes about two glasses of water to detoxify every glass of soda. So it is
poison in can. I hope you'll take this into consideration. Please don't shoot
the messenger. I really, my mission in life is to help people to be healthy and
this is one of the best things they can do, is to substitute water for their soda pop.
Thank you so much for watching Poison In A Can and giving you some
ideas of why drinking soda pop on a consistent basis is so harmful to your
health. If you liked the video, give us a thumbs up and there's actually
