You would think that it is a no-brainer. Soda is BAD. It fosters all kinds of metabolic related diseases. Here is yet another arrow in the back for soda, a new UCLA study.
Regular soda consumption significantly increases a person's risk of obesity, according to a study conducted by researchers from the University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA).
"We drink soda like water," said Harold Goldstein of the Center for Public Health Advocacy, which also took part in the study. "But unlike water, soda serves up a whopping 17 teaspoons of sugar in every 20-ounce serving."
Researchers interviewed 40,000 adults on their beverage consumption habits, finding that adults who drank one sugary beverage per day were 27 percent more likely to be classified as overweight than those who drank sugary beverages less frequently.
Drinking one soda per day involves the consumption of 39 pounds of sugar per year.
According to the San Jose Mercury News, 15.5 percent of adults, 56 percent of teenagers, and 41 percent of children under the age of 12 in Santa Cruz County, Calif., consume one soda per day. The figures on children's consumption were obtained from their parents.

What is Diabetic Neuropathy?
Diabetic neuropathy (DN)is a peripheral nerve disorder which disproportionately afflicts diabetics. It is one of the many serious "Complications" of diabetes and often leads to amputation of limbs.
The symptoms of diabetic neuropathy are often slight at first. In fact,
some mild cases may go unnoticed for a long time.
Numbness, pain or tingling in the feet or legs may, after several years, lead to weakness in the muscles of the feet. Occasionally, diabetic neuropathy can flare
up suddenly and affect specific nerves so that an affected individual
will develop double vision, drooping eyelids and weakness and atrophy
of the thigh muscles.
Nerve damage caused by diabetes generally occurs over a period of years and may lead to problems with the digestive tract and sexual organs, which can cause indigestion, diarrhea or constipation, dizziness, bladder infections and impotence.
The loss of sensation in the feet may increase the possibility for foot injuries to go unnoticed and develop into ulcers or lesions that become infected, which then leads to amputations of feet and legs.
Diabetic neuropathy cannot be avoided strictly by controlling blood sugar, contrary to conventional wisdom. Although blood sugar control helps, it cannot stop the disease.
Free radicals, waste products of the body's metabolism, poor diet, especially fried foods; ingested from the environment, especially cigarette smoke; attack the lipid or fat sheath surrounding nerve fibers. This is analagous to damaging the insulation on an electrical wire, causing short circuits and interfering with the proper functioning of the system, in this case, the body's nervous system.
In the US, treatment is normally limited to orally administered diabetes drugs, which as mentioned before does Not stop the onset or progression of diabetic neuropathy.
In Germany and other parts of Europe, DN has been treated successfully with a powerful antioxidant, Alpha Lipoic Acid. Alpha Lipoic Acid stops free radicals
from damaging the nerve coverings.
You can prevent DN by eating a diet rich in antioxidants, an alkalizing diet as well as taking antioxidant supplements, including alpha lipoic acid.
For cases of DN that have progressed to the point where amputations are needed, the Japanese have pioneered a truly remarkably effective treatment that can save diabetics limbs, even if they have become gangrenous!
Check out this comprehensive site that will teach you more about using alkalinity and antioxidants to fight and even cure T2 diabetes. Be sure to watch the video that shows how Japanese doctors save a man's diabetic foot from amputation, amazing!

Diabetes Can Destroy Your Sex Life Too!
It is true, diabetes can destroy the pleasure and even the very ability to functions sexually in men and women.
This should be a powerful incentive to pursue a strategy that Cures diabetes instead of "Treating" diabetes. (How ironic!)
In woman NERVE DAMAGE to the cells that line the vagina can result in
dryness, making sexual intercourse very uncomfortable.
Discomfort is likely to decrease sexual response or desire.
Melabic is a mixture of natural ingredients that has proven to vastly improve even the most intransigent cases and to have Cured milder cases of diabetes.
It has Alpha Lipoic Acid and Fenugreek which help reverse nerve damage by helping to repair damaged tissue. To find out about these and seven more diabetes fighting ingredients visit Melabic
As many as 40 percent of women with diabetes may experience decreased
or absent interest in sexual relations. Decreased desire for sex,
inability to become or remain aroused, lack of sensation or no sensation
in the genital area as well as the inability to reach orgasm can result.
Now MEN with diabetes, normal sexual function may be disrupted for a
number of reasons related to nerve and blood vessel damage.
Diabetes can cause neuropathy or damage to nerves throughout your
body, including the penis. Damaged nerves can't communicate
properly. Even though you might be emotionally stimulated to
have intercourse, nerve damage means that information isn't relayed
to the penis, and a erection is not successful.
In addition, poor blood sugar control can inhibit nitric oxide
production. Lack of nitric oxide can prevent the pressure of blood
in the corpora cavernosa from rising enough to close off penile
veins. This allows blood to flow out of the penis instead of remaining
trapped for an erection.
Blood vessels can also become narrowed or hardened
(atherosclerosis) by conditions that often accompany diabetes, such
as cardiovascular disease. When atherosclerosis occurs in arteries
that supply the penis or pelvic area, sexual function may be
disrupted.
The GOOD NEWS is that if we are aware of the importance of early
treatment and keeping blood sugar levels balanced , you can avoid
this awful side effect!!!! To find out how you can NORMALIZE your
blood sugar visit Melabic
What you can do for Men & Woman?
This sort of damage isn't inevitable. However you can take steps to
help prevent sexual dysfunction from occurring or worsening.
* Talk to your doctor. Initially, you might be embarrassed to
talk about sexual health which is natural. Doctors know that sexual
dysfunction is a common diabetes-related problem, your doctor won't
be surprised when you mention the topic. Talking to your doctor before
a problem occurs can help you prevent or delay sexual hiccups. Your
doctor can also help determine if the complications are a result of
diabetes or another condition.
* Control your blood sugar. Good blood sugar control can
prevent the nerve and blood vessel complications that lead to
sexual dysfunction. Following my 3 step program along with
Melabic can help you with this.Visit Melabic
for more information
* Avoid tobacco. Smoking and other tobacco use cause blood
vessels to narrow, contributing to blockages that can lead to
complications. Smoking also can decrease nitric oxide levels.
* Avoid excessive alcohol. Drinking excessive amounts of
alcohol can cause sexual dysfunction by damaging blood vessels.
In general, for men that means no more than two alcoholic drinks a
day, and for women, no more than one.
Knowing more about how diabetes-related complications can lead to
sexual dysfunction may help you take measures to avoid the
condition or prevent it from worsening. As these complications
becomes more widely understood -- (thanks in part to mainstream
media) -- it may become easier for you to discuss, just like any
other medical condition.

Metabolic Syndrome X
Never heard of it? 47 Million Americans have it and most have never heard of it and do not know they have it and will most likely die of its complications, 10 years earlier and many many thousands of dollars poorer!
Metabolic Syndrome X is not an actual disease itself, but is the presence of a cluster of abnormal systemic readings that are the precursor to diabetes, heart trouble, stroke, cancer etc. In other words, the 4-5 chronic diseases of aging that we all die from.
Here are the signs:
Your navel-level waist measurement is more than 40in for men or 35in for women
Your triglycerides are over 100
Your blood preasure is over 140/90
Your blood sugar is over 100
Your Good cholesterol is low
You arrived at this condition because of long years of eating the Standard American DIEt that makes your blood acidic and you probably do not get much exercise.
MSX is also called Hyperinsulinism because it is characterized by too much insulin in the blood stream caused by the increasing insensitivity to insulin by the cells of the body, which in turn is usually caused by abdominal fat and eating too much carbohydrates, which produce over acidity.
High blood pressure and Type 2 diabetes are the two most likely diseases to develop first from Metabolic Syndrome X.
Type 2 diabetes, which you may as well call the Disintegration of your Body, attacks your nervous system and your circulatory system. Think of what that means as those systems slowly degenerate over time.
Loss of limbs, eyesite, pain in the extremities, heart trouble, strokes are just a few of its benefits.
Yet, MSX is reversible as are almost all of its consequences, not with Drugs to control higb blood pressure or to lower cholesterol or blood sugar, but simply by restoring the blood alkaline balance of the body and eliminating free radicals!
The quickest ways to do this, is to lose weight by switching to what I call the Meditteranean Diet, (look it up) taking up exercise and by drinking ionized alkaline water. You should also add nutritional supplements to these efforts, especially anti-oxidants and others that have been shown to attack specific disease targets, such as cinnamon for reducing blood sugar, B-Complexes for nerve health, etc.
