Soft Drink Risks

The hidden dangers of those beloved carbonated beverages.

Many of us love soft drinks of some kind, that is just part of our society. Recently however, researchers in the field of alternative medicine have found something startling.

A link between dark soft drinks and symptoms of fibromyalgia, as well as many chronic illnesses of the stomach,throat and kidneys.

This is not to say that a little soda here and there is going to do great harm, only to say all things in moderation.

I personally know how damaging dark soft drinks can be. The sticky filmy substance they produce can damage your kidneys in a fashion similar to how cholesterol clogs arteries.

I was a Dr. Pepper fiend for 16 years, every day I would drink that sweet black elixir. In fact it was my drink of choice 80% of the time. More often than not I drank it instead of water. Let me say this however, it is definitely no substitute.

If you have a choice, choose water or some other life sustaining fluid, like juice. If you are like me and you were a soft drink fiend, my suggestion is lay off the soft drinks. One now and then is not so bad, but drink it reasonably, not in excess.
