On last night's ABC News with Diane Sawyer, she reported on the effects of soda on our society then invited her audience to email her with thoughts and suggestions about this terrible societal problem that continues to get bigger and more serious with each passing day.
Ms. Sawyer promised to read each email herself. You can imagine how my journalistic hot button got pushed. This was an opportunity not to be missed where I could spout off about the factual implications of micro-clustering and alkalinity having a positive effect on all our kids.
The story reported that the belly fat that our young people are carrying around is a side effect of the abuse brought about with the over indulgence of Coca Cola, Sprite, Dr. Pepper or any other carbonated, corn syrup laden can, bottle or paper cup of that bubbly poison.
Soda is 2.5 pH acidity on the pH scale of zero to fourteen points. The change from one level to another is an exponential change. While people are essentially an alkaline species, belly fat is put on around our middle as a reaction of the body attempting to protect the vital organs from the negative implications of soda's acid. Working with a naturopathic physician, we focus on two products that counter acid in the body. The best method for reducing and flushing toxins, like soda, out of the body is electrolyzed micro-clustered water that gets drawn fresh from a machine that restructures water. This is protocol common to Asia and is beginning to be taken seriously in the U.S.
In conjunction with the flushing-out of acidic toxins is the importance of reducing or stopping the addiction to soda while altering ones diet to a create a more alkaline internal condition. What does this mean? It means to cut back on all animal protein and eat more fruits and vegetables especially alkaline plant foods within a balance diet. A recently discovered protocol that works in addition to the electrolyzed water is a dietary supplement that falls under the nanotechnology protocol and it is new to the marketplace. Suspended in distilled salt water are reactive molecules that have the capability to correct defective cell function. These two elements and a healthy alkaline diet targets the acidity problem and you bring about results for a more balanced internal terrain free of acids. The body is then helped toward homeostasis that results in the reduction of fat and points it toward better health.
Following this plan helps minimize the craving for soda and thus the need for the body to add fat in order to defend and protect the organs. In a side note, for one 8 ounce glass of soda, it takes thirty-two 8 ounce glasses of electrolyzed micro-clustered water just to neutralize it in the body--an illustration of how much it takes to flush soda out of the body and just how detrimental it is to the biological system.
Tragically, if we don't take this up as a cause and change this soda compulsion and addiction, we are going to be the first generation to see parents living longer than their children. As I watch teenagers coming out of their high school near my house, I'm a gasp at the belly fat on teenagers who should be slim, trim and taut and I feel sad. The beverage industry needs to be taken to task like the tobacco industry was in the 1990s if we are going to stop our children from being killed off from the effects of soda...the disease in a can.
