Endangered species...now we know why

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – Drinking a liter of regular cola every day increases the amount of fat in the liver and in the muscles and surrounding the organs in the belly, according to a new Danish study.

“This study suggests that the adverse effects of sugary beverages go beyond just weight gain or fat gain. It’s the gaining of the wrong fat in the wrong places,” said Dr. Frank Hu, a professor at the Harvard School of Public Health, who was not involved in this study.

The American Heart Association recommends drinking no more than about three cans of soda a week, while young men far exceed that, with about two cans a day on average (see Reuters Health report of August 31, 2011).

The negative effects of sodas:

1. It causes invisible fat build-up around your organs.

How about WATER?

While total fat mass remained the same across all beverage-consuming groups, researchers say dramatic increases in fats that are hard to detect with the naked eye. Those who drank the regular cola experienced a 132- to 142-percent increase in liver fat, a 117- to 221-percent jump in skeletal fat, and about a 30-percent increase in both triglyceride blood fats and other organic fat. The regular soda-drinking group also experienced an 11-percent increase in cholesterol compared to the people who drank beverages.

In America, many sodas are sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup that has been shown to cause even worse fat build-up problems. Avoid turning to diet soda as a healthy alternative. Artificial sweeteners and food dyes have been linked to brain cell damage and hyperactivity; people who drink diet soda are also more prone to develop diabetes.

2.Some contain toxic flame retardants.

3.You’re taking part in the biggest science experiment on the planet.
Many soda brands on the market in America today are sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup, a heart-harming man-made compound derived mainly from genetically engineered (GE) corn.

Fixing soda problem is easy: Don’t drink it!

But there are hundreds of other toxins around us and inside us:

Easy!

Things that put extra stress on your liver and can seriously interfere with the livers ability to make bile and to detoxify include:

• Sugar and artificial sweeteners have no nutritive value and processing them burns up vital nutrients your liver needs to function properly (soda is a big culprit in the American diet).

• Trans-fatty acids extra toxic nature burns essential nutrients like a blowtorch and directly interferes with both bile production and detoxification.

• Most over the counter pain relievers and practically all prescription drugs, including blood pressure and cholesterol drugs which are now prescribed like candy. These substances put a HEAVY toxic burden on the liver.

• Regular alcohol consumption, because ultimately alcohol will pickle your liver and a pickled liver is a dead liver.

(I disagree with this one. Moderate alcohol consumption is beneficial for healthy people. Your body’s ability to process alcohol depends on your age, weight and sex. Your body breaks down alcohol at a rate of roughly one drink per hour. Nate)

• Constipation, because the liver empties toxins into the colon and if the colon is backed up, the liver dumps the toxins into fat cells, and the toxins are retained in the body. To start your bodies detoxification process, use cleansing formulas to detoxify the bowels, liver, kidneys and blood.

It is practically impossible to avoid all bad stuff in our lives.

So here is what we can do: Moderation. Don’t go crazy with any of the stuff, healthy or toxic.

Nikuz

Detoxify your body periodically. The easiest way to do it is herbal tea. One of the best is Nikuz Herbal Tea from Herbs of Kedem,

Always start a detox by cleansing the bowel. The aim is to improve its efficiency so you have regular bowel movements (ideally once each morning and after each meal and the bowel is free of yeast.

Plan of action:

Drop the sodas! Drink water, tea even a cup of coffee is fine.

Get educated about toxins in our lives. You don’t get paranoid about all this. Just learn to live a little healthier :-)

And don’t get stressed out from all of this. Just do what you can and enjoy life.

Cheers!
