Cancer Chemicals Are Everywhere

The article linked to our title is from BBC News and states that cancer causing agents have been found in British soft drinks at a level 8 times greater than drinking water.

This is definitely cause for concern for Americans too. Way too many people get a jolt of caffeine from diet sodas and sodas. Many of our children have become more obese in part due to the drinking of sodas and manufactured "juices".

We want to point out that there are great health alternatives to sodas and boxed or bottled "juices". Flavored waters, green teas, organic juices, fresh-squeezed juices, and even just plain water are healthful alternatives to sodas.

From the BBC here is a small excerpt...
"The soft drinks industry has known for 15 years that the preservative sodium benzoate can produce benzene if mixed with ascorbic acid - more commonly known as Vitamin C."

"Benzene has been linked to leukemia and other cancers of the blood and is also found in pollutants such as car exhaust fumes."

It is time to take a careful look at exactly what you and your children or grandchildren are drinking and actively seek healthful alternatives for your better overall health.
