More bad press for Coke continues, as a meme
making its way around the web (was first posted
by The Renegade Pharmacist) has gone viral, and
for good reason. It’s no secret that Coke can be
very harmful to our health, especially after
prolonged use. Sure, you might say that people
are free to do as they please, but the truth of the
matter is, a product like Coke (when there are so
many better alternatives) should not even be on
the market.
Sugar, primarily in the form of high fructose corn
syrup (HFCS), is the highest calorie source in the
United States today. While its mass appeal is
vastly rooted in cultures worldwide, its health
impacts are substantially detrimental and are
often overlooked by the majority. We recently
published an article on how HFCS literally makes
you “stupid,” you can read that HERE. Multiple
studies have shown this, including one conducted
by UCLA which showed how sugar lowers your
IQ, you can read about it within this article HERE .
Your brain lights up with sugar just as it does
with cocaine and heroin. It’s not something
somebody can easily walk away from. What we
are seeing is the same thing as drug addiction,
and these giant food corporations know this. A
Dutch health official recently called it the most
dangerous drug of all time. ( source) HERE is an
article we wrote about a study claiming sugar is
just as addictive as heroin.
“You end up with one of the great health
epidemics of all time.” – Dr. David Kessler,
former FDA commissioner ( source)
HERE is a video of a BBC journalist showing a
Coca-Cola President just how much sugar is in
their drink..
Hopefully this memes gives you something to
think about, especially if you are a parent, or a
person who consumes Coke on a regular basis.
