4. Sodas
Sodas not only cause serious damage to the kidneys, but they also cause cancer. Overflowing with high fructose corn syrup (which was discussed earlier), artificial colors, flavors, and phosphorus, sodas cause an artificially high level of acid in the body, an environment in which cancer cells thrive. Besides high fructose corn syrup, most sodas (even the fruit flavored ones!), use ingredients such as 4-methylimidazole (otherwise known as 4-MI). Chemicals such as synthetic caramel coloring and bright fruit-flavored colors such as Red Dye #2, #40, or Yellow #5, have been linked not only to higher rates of cancer, but also to higher rates of behavioral problems in children. Most studies agree that children should not consume more than 35 mg of artificial colors each day; however, you will find that just one soda can have three times that amount.
Avoid sodas of all kinds, whether colas or fruit-flavored ones, no matter how harmless or natural the label might claim the product is. Even so-called “natural” sodas contain sugar of some kind.

Until this country starts to seriously ban GMOs and many of the chemicals used to produce our foods unnaturally, the cost of safe and GMO free foods will continue to rise and move further away from what is considered affordable to many of this country’s folks. $1.50 per lemon, $1.75 per avocado? Rediculous

My lemons are up to $2.00 & avacados $3.00. Anyway, our soil we grow all our food in, is not only contaminated but so nutritionally deficient, those lemons and all our foods, aren’t as healthy as we think. Sad!
