150 degenerative diseases are linked to acidity

Scientists have found that healthy people have body fluids that are
slightly alkaline, 7.1 to 7.5 pH. Scientists and doctors have also
found that over 150 degenerative diseases are linked to acidity,
including cancer, diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, gall and kidney
stones, and many more. All diseases thrive in an acidic, oxygen poor
environment.

Keep in mind that a drop in every point on the pH scale is10x more
acidic than the previous number--i.e. from 7 to 6 is 10x, from 7 to 5
is 100x etc. From 7 to 2 is 100,000x more acidic, colas are in the
approximate 2.5 pH range. Almost no soda(pop) is higher than 3.0.
Diet sodas are the worst as they have the highest acid content.
Actually diet sodas cause you to gain weight because they alter the
blood chemistry, making changes in your metabolism, leading to a
slower metabolic rate. See our article on Aspartame. The best liquid
to drink is water.

Almost everything we do including our life styles and our diets push
us into the acidic range: proteins, carbohydrates, and fats are all
digested down to acids. Even metabolic functions and exercise create
some acids (lactic acid). Body fluids range between 4.5 and 7.5 pH
(Your blood must maintain an alkaline range of 7.35 to 7.45 pH). So
even our natural functions produce acids, and if we do not get the
proper minerals in the proper forms, our bodies will begin to
degenerate. When you drink soda, the deterioration will be much
faster.

Can Cola & Sodas Kill?
Over the long term the effects of colas are devastating to the body.
Acidity, sugars, and artificial flavors and sweeteners can shorten
your life. It would take 32 glasses of alkaline water at an alkaline
pH of 9 to neutralize the acid from one 12 oz. cola or soda. When you
drink a cola or soda, the body will use up reserves of its own stored
alkaline buffers, mainly calcium from the bones and DNA, to raise the
body's alkalinity levels, especially to maintain proper blood
alkaline pH levels. Acidic blood levels cause death! There are enough
acids in one soda to kill you if you didn't possess a mechanism to
neutralize them. But your mineral buffers can be used up.

The reason it is so bad, is that soda, like water and other liquids,
pass very quickly through the stomach into the small intestine where
it is quickly assimilated into the bloodstream through the openings
in the villi in the walls of the intestines.They can also be absorbed
right through the stomach's lining directly into the blood. Liquids
do not stay in the digestive tract like solid food does. All liquids
go into the bloodstream, is filtered through the liver and the
kidneys, and what is not needed is sent to the bladder and urinated
out. But these liquids come in contact with virtually every cell in
your body.

When a substance is an acid, it means that there are a large number
of positively charged hydrogen ions in it. These positively charged
ions are lacking electrons and steal electrons from other atoms in
the body which themselves become electrically unstable and seek other
electrons from other atoms. Acids are free radicals and what you've
just created is a chain reaction of electron stealing. The problem
with this is that whenever an electron is torn from an atom a little
spark is produced, and this is what damages cell membranes. It's
called free radical damage and can be seen under a microscope in a
live blood cell analysis.

If you have enough minerals the body can stop the process. But when
you use up the supply of available minerals to neutralize the acids,
at that point you may get a very serious degenerative disease. Every
soda that you drink will contribute to this acidity. Even without
soda our bodies naturally produce acids, and minerals are needed in
our diets to stop the deterioration process. Unfortunately, most of
the food that we eat no longer contains the minerals that we need.
This may be the reason for all the degenerative diseases that are so
prevalent today.

Most degenerative diseases we call "Old-Age Diseases" like memory
loss, osteoporosis, arthritis, diabetes, hypertension, and many more
are actually life style diseases caused by acidosis, the lack of
supplements, what acids we ingest, what nutrients we don't ingest, or
toxins we don't properly eliminate.
