I just heard that Pepsi has created a new soda called
"Pepsi Raw." Right now it's being tested in the UK.
It's the latest brutal attack on human health by the
second largest of the food giants, PepsiCo.
And what makes it downright maddening is that this
flavored sugar water is being touted as natural, pure and
healthy.
For example, instead of the high fructose corn syrup used
in regular Pepsi, Pepsi Raw proudly uses real cane sugar.
Who cares? Sugar is sugar. It's like asking someone,
"Would you rather have arsenic or hemlock as your poison?"
Regular Pepsi uses artificial colors, but Pepsi Raw gets
its color from a "natural" source--pure caramel. Know what
that is? More sugar coursing through your veins.
Sugar is addictive and deadly. In addition to the obvious
obesity it causes, it increases insulin in your blood and
can cause or worsen:
- asthma
- diabetes
- heart disease
- gallstones
- high blood pressure
- arthritis
- mood swings and personality changes
- mental illness and nervous disorders
- concentration and learning difficulties in children
It also causes your pH to be acidic, the ideal breeding
ground for cancer, kidney disease, osteoporosis, lupus and
more.
In 1900 the average American ate 5 pounds of sugar per
year, and people were a normal size.
Now the average is 2-3 pounds each WEEK, and people are gi-
normous.
Let's see... 1+1 still equals 2.
And if you say, "Oh, I don't drink a lot of soda or eat
much candy, and I don't put sugar in my coffee, so I'm OK,"
think again.
Because if you eat a fair amount of boxed, bagged, wrapped
or canned foods, you're taking in boatloads of sugar.
Boatloads. High fructose corn syrup (the worst form of
sugar on the planet) is used in breads, cereals,
mayonnaise, peanut butter, ketchup, spaghetti sauce, salad
dressing and microwave meals.
Listen, my dear friend, don't let the food giants trick
you with their multi-million dollar marketing campaigns and
brainwash you into thinking their creations are actually
good for you. They are not.
They don't care about you--they care about profits. They
knowingly jeopardize the health of billions with their
boxed and bagged poisons and sleep like babies at night,
with sweet dreams of their bottom lines growing bigger as
our backsides grow fatter. Chi-ching.
It's easy to know what's best for your body--simpler is
better.
Drink water. Eat lots of alkaline-rich foods. And
combine those foods in the way that minimizes the acid in
your body.
I teach it all in Great Taste No Pain. I make it simple
and delicious.
