Guest guest Posted October 21, 2000 Report Share Posted October 21, 2000 Hello everyone, Geoff Crenshaw here. Something occurs that may or may not effect you personally. If you drink carbonated beverages of any type you should be aware that CO2 actively depletes certain minerals including calcium, magnesium and potassium. Recently on the list was a notation that deficient potassium may lead to " easy bruising. " Supplementation with these minerals is important for an extended period even after ceasing intake of carbonated beverages to help reverse depletion. WEIGHT GAIN: If you drink Diet soda, beware also: some diet beverage SLOW DOWN metabolism. The result? Eat the same as always, exercise as always, maybe even more - and still gain weight. Other Diet sodas increase metabolic activity, thus aiding in weight loss -- though not to the extent that a trade-off from POW! (Plain Old Water!) is justified as the damage exceeds the benefit. A couple of well-known metabolic-altering sodas are: DIET PEPSI - slows metabolic rate, enhances weight GAIN DIET COKE - increases metabolic rate, enhances weight LOSS This, of course does not go into all of the issues with aspartame, AKA: NutraSweet. That's enough for several books. Suffice it to say that it is not good for you, but then neither are ANY forms of hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated fats, etc. INSOMNIA: If you ingesting caffeine IN ANY FORM, including soda, beware that as a population metabolic activity dealing with caffeine, etc., in diseased people (such as rheumatics) is " challenged " . Cutting out ALL caffeine you may well find that after a few days your insomnia disappears with the corresponding blessing of better health, more energy and vitality. Of course those blessings require intake of plenty of POW! to flush the system, eating properly, etc. HTH Regards, Geoff Why do I have hope? Because I am under the blood of the Passover Lamb.
