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.
The Dangers of Splenda

There’s a New Study that Shows the Harmful Effects of the sweetener in the little yellow packet also known as Splenda
A new scientific report outlines the dangers of Splenda. It showed that it killed off half of the good bacteria in the intestines, contributed to weight gain and increased the PH level in the gut dramatically!
Saldly enough, the people who are the sickest will be blindsided by the effects because it has been shown to affect a certain glycoprotein in the intestine that can block the absorption of much needed medications taken by people affected with AIDS, heart conditions and even cancer.
It’s very important to realize that Splenda or sucralose is NOT sugar, despite its marketing slogan “Made from sugar, so it tastes like sugar”. It is actually a chlorinated artificial sweetener more like aspartame and saccharin, with damaging health problems to match. Read more
Resveratrol in Wine Kills Cancer Cells

Resveratrol, a natural substance found in wine and in the skin of grapes, may prove effective in treating neuroblastoma, a nervous-system cancer affecting mostly babies and children. After successful animal studies, researchers at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health say their new treatment is ready for clinical trials.
Resveratrol is already familiar to many as the substance cited in what has been called the “French Miracle” in regard to helping hearts stay healthy by drinking red wine. Dr. Arthur Polans, the leader of the Wisconsin research group, saw the possibility that resveratrol might also be useful in fighting cancer. “Resveratrol is a promising treatment for young children because it’s not toxic to healthy cells, only to cancer cells,” Polans said in a statement released by the University of Wisconsin.
Polans is also studying the use of resveratrol in treating uveal melanoma, a cancer of the eye. “What neuroblastoma and uveal melanoma have in common is the factor of time,” Polans said. “Ideally, you’d like to be able to treat them aggressively at first, and then treat them with lower doses of a non-toxic compound over time. Otherwise, you run the risk of damage to vital organs or an increase in secondary tumors.”
In addition, there is hope for resveratrol helping treat other cancers as well, because the researchers have demonstrated that it also kills cancer cells and shrinks tumors in three other forms of cancer—retinoblastoma, skin melanoma, and breast cancer.
