News about drinking Sodas

[Gisela Ahrendt]

For all of you who love Coke,Sprite etc. here is some scary news:
Soda, as well as it may quench and as good as it tastes, sucks–not to mince words or anything. Studies by the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health found that children and adults who drink soft drinks regularly are heavier on average, in addition to being much more likely to develop diabetes later in life. One study showed that women who drank a minimum of one soda a day could increase their chance of developing type-2 diabetes by a staggering 85 percent!
Ones that rely on artificial sweeteners pose concern as well. Sucralose, known as Splenda, is marketed as a “natural” sweetener since it is derived from sugar (what a spin) but is rendered unrecognizable as a natural ingredient after the intensive processing it receives in the lab. Long term studies have not been conducted on Splenda, and many believe it will eventually prove harmful to our health. Other artificial sweeteners, such as aspartame, are suspect as well.
Besides the sugar content which adds to tooth decay, most soft drinks are also acidic—frequent sipping of these low-pH drinks can have adverse effects on tooth enamel, namely in the form of erosion.
And wait, there’s more! The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and other agencies have found that some sodas commonly sold in the States have concentrations of benzene above the legal limit set for drinking water. Benzene is not added, but can occur as a reaction between phosphoric acid and preservatives used in some sodas. Benzene is classified as a known human carcinogen by the EPA, and is associated with leukemia, aplastic anemia and other blood diseases.
So what to do? Drinking plain water, springs to mind, of course, but sometimes…people just want a soda. Personally, the sparkling-water-with-a-splash-of-juice option leaves me cold. The sparkle is diluted by the juice and the juice is diluted by the sparkle, resulting in a neither-flavorful-nor-sparkly marriage.
I have found this simple concoction to be a very happy solution. No artificial ingredients, delicious, and only 35 calories per serving.
Maple Cream Soda
12 ounces sparkling water (club soda, seltzer, sparkling mineral water)
2 teaspoons maple syrup (or more, as you like)
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Mix, add ice, drink, say “mmm mmm.”

Maple syrup is MUCH worse for blood glucose and diabetes provoking than diet sodas.
Diet soda from fountains, like McDonalds, 7-11, etc. still use only saccharin, no aspartame nor sucralose.
If you want to make your own soda, buy a SodaStream machine where you carbonate your own water, then add your choice of syrups.
Here are some flavors they make that have no sweeteners
http://msfizz.sodastreamusa.com/2010/09 ... a-flavors/
These are flavors with sugar but considered all natural
http://www.sodastreamusa.com/TasteNutri ... urals.aspx#
The one I've started using, just mixing in with my own seltzer, not using their machine is caffeine free diet cola.
Some of their diet flavors use acesulfame potassium, another sweetener that seems less problematic.
http://www.sodastreamusa.com/TasteNutri ... .aspx#diet
New to the scene are Coca Cola Freestyle machines with touch screens, you choose your soda and flavor in over 100 combinations. I like diet Coke caffeine free raspberry, a flavor you can't buy in bottle or cans.

As for any of these studies from traditional places like Harvard, if you want to accept their findings on soda, then why not accept their conclusions on homeopathy?

I have given up carbonated drinks as they are purposted to dehydrate the body.
Why does anyone have to drink them at all

????
None of that makes sense
At least the body knows what maple syrup is. As far as toxic non naturals chemicals??? The body can only react to as a toxin

give me maple syrup over a lab produced chemical any day!
and as for Harvard studies—that is why we have brains to evaluate
what the information is about. some of what they say even makes
sense, despite the source of their money.

Susan is a diabetic and maybe why she looks for a substitute? I would only use stevia as a substitute.

I understand but looking for something worse is not an answer.
Stevia is one I would suggest too.
Do you know anything about the sweetener from Japan, called Lakanto?
I have seen it recommended as a non-sugar sweetener but not sure about it.
