The cells of a healthy body are alkaline while the cells of a diseased body are acidic. ~Dr. Arthur Guyton (author of “Textbook of Medical Physiology”)
You want your diet to ALKALIZE your body, and ingesting a highly acidic drink like soda pop does the opposite and is very detrimental to your health. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase in osteoporosis.
The active ingredient in most soda pop is phosphoric acid. The pH of most soda pop is 2.0, which is very acidic.
