Soda & Soft Drink Facts
In simple terms SODA Equals = ACID! ACID! ACID!
FACT: 1 can of soda requires 32 glasses of water to neutralize the acidity. Most people don't get 8 glasses of water a day, so how can you stay alkaline if you're drinking 1 can of soda a day, or even 3 times a week? You'll never catch up! The fix is easy. STOP DRINKING SODA!
The average American today drinks over 600 servings of pop a year and is slowly killing themselves with acidosis.
