An examination of several types of carbonated drinks found that many contained high levels of pesticides, some with levels as much as 300 times higher than EPA standards for drinking water. Researchers examined 102 cans from 15 countries looking for 100 types of commonly used pesticides. They found high levels in a number of the drinks, especially those in the U.K.
Young children are most vulnerable, since the cancers most commonly linked to pesticides/herbicides are leukemia and lymphomas. For adults, as I pointed out in the newsletter on Parkinson’s disease, the greatest danger is for children with detoxification problems. It is also important to keep in mind that the fastest-growing cancer in adults under age 30 is lymphomas.
Dr. Bartz Comment: For years I have been telling patients that soda, regular or diet has absolutely no discernable health benefits. In fact it is actually killing millions of americans right now. Are you one of them? A little known fact is that I used to be a Coke and then a Diet Coke addict for years. My research has brought so many health issues to light regarding americas favorite soft drinks. Not only is soda not healthy this study shows that it is even more dangerous than previously thought. Try staying off soda for 7 days. Thats all. Your body will thank you in so many ways. Take the first step toward better health today.
