Bad Beverages
Americans drink the wrong beverages - sodas, diet sodas, juices, excessive amounts of coffee, and sweetened tea. In 2003, the average American consumed about 142 pounds of sugar per year, plus 61 pounds per year of high fructose corn syrup, (for a total of 203 pounds per year) as compared with 114 pounds of sugars and sweeteners per year in 1967.13 Even milk is being turned into a flavored, sugary, carbonated drink to appease a nation of sugar addicts' taste buds.14
One regular soda contains approximately 10 teaspoons of sugar (usually in the form of high fructose corn syrup), phosphoric acid, and often caffeine. Diet sodas contain artificial sweeteners as well as phosphoric acids. Phosphoric acid leaches calcium out of the bones, while high fructose corn syrup raises LDL levels, and artificial sweeteners such as aspartame (Nutrasweet®)
• Dextrose, Sucrose, Maltose, Fructose, and Glucose are all fancy ways of saying "sugar." There are a few differences between these compounds, but they are best viewed as "sugar." This stuff is a lot more harmful than most food additives!
• Saccharin is a non-nutritive artificial sweetener used in many beverages and canned fruits and jellies. It is also commonly used as a table top sweetener for coffee, tea, cereal, etc. It is known to cause cancer in laboratory animals. Sold under the trade name of Sweet n Low®.
• Sodium Bicarbonate, also known as baking soda, is used as a leavening agent (makes dough rise) in many baked goods. It is also used to maintain the proper pH in canned goods. This is a significant source of sodium. People on low sodium diets should avoid consuming large quantities.
• Sodium Bisulfite, Sodium Metabisulfite, Sodium Sulfite, and Sulfur Dioxide are types of sulfites that are often used in wines and dehydrated fruits and vegetables to prevent discoloration and prevent bacterial growth. Some people are allergic to sulfites. For the rest of us they should be no problem. The FDA prohibits using sulfites on raw fruits and vegetables.
• Sodium Nitrite is a salt that is used in the manufacture of dyes. It is used in many processed meats as a preservative (prevents botulism) and a colorant (it keeps the meat red). It can combine with compounds in the stomach to form Nitrosamine, a highly carcinogenic substance. This is one food additive that we recommend you minimize your exposure to.
