The BIG FAT Zero


It is predicted that by 2030, 42% of the population will be considered obese. I shook my head in disgust when I saw a recent ad campaign by a major soda company touting how they were leading the way in the fight against obesity. Their main point was how they have worked hard at replacing sugary sodas with diet soda and bottled water in schools and in the work place. After all, if it has “zero calories”, it has to be good for you, right? The very fact that most Americans believe that to be true is one of the underlying reasons of our rapidly growing weight epidemic.

Consider that the average American consumes a whopping 46 gallons of soda per year! Diet or not, soda contains significant levels of phosphoric acid (not far on the pH scale from battery acid). To maintain pH balance, our body depletes itself of essential minerals. Particularly with soda, iodine (which is  essential in supporting the health of the thyroid) is leached from the body. And without iodine, the thyroid can not function properly. If you have an under-producing thyroid, your metabolism will suffer and weight gain is a result. And there you have it - the BIG FAT zero.


A side note here: The vast majority of bottled waters are very acidic as well, further contributing to the many complications and diseases associated with an acidic diet.

So what’s the BEST option? Give your body what it needs - ALKALINE WATER. The ideal water will have a pH of 8.5 To 9.5, will be free of chemicals, full of essential minerals, micro-clustered for optimal hydration, and will be a highly effective anti-oxidant that will remove toxins from the body. Oh yes, and you can feel good about it‘s “zero calories“.
