Also water here tastes like crud, so if you don't mind I'l put my life on the line for something tasty. Mmmhmm you can just taste that Phosphoric Acid  |
Drinking phosphoric acid in soft drinks regularly is proven in several studies to wekaen the bones' substance, because it melts with calcium from the bone's reservoir and by that forms a certain salt that is of no use for the body, but weakens the bones. American studies showed that youngsters drinking cola regularly and doing sports, suffer from broken bones three times as often as other juveniles doing sports, but not drinking cola. There is numerous hints and evidence that phosphporic acid also plays a role in several degenerating processes at higher age, that start as a result from consuming it too often.
the bad thing is that, like so oftebn, the coonsequences of your behavior do not always show up immediately, but maybe not before 20, 30, 40 years have passed. And then it is too late, of course.
I would recommend a regular 30 day-water-filter, like I use myself, becasue we have a very "hard" water with a high level of Kalk, which is a problem with kitchen machines. As a side effect it reduces the taste of chlorine (what makes your water tasting so bad) to a level that I cannot taste it anymore. If handled responsibly, these 30-days-filters are safe, regarding germs. I have my water in the refirgerator, where it stays both cold and dark - and that is good.
It's also much cheaper than constantly buying bottled water or softdrinks. I have no sympathy for families living by wellfare - but always that pack of cigarettes and bottles of softdrinks on the table, and often en masse.
Beyond all that, americans' awareness for food issues is said to be far more underdeveloped than in several european countries, and Germany, loike envrionmental awarenss also was lagging behind. Most prominent example probably is the uncritical acceptance of gene-food and simply beloieving what the interested industry is advertsiing about it's "harmlessness".
And tasteless MacDonalds, and Hamburgers, also are an American invention, brrrrr!
Compared to that, Italy, Germany and even France are culinaric paradises. And the socalled mediterranean cuisine is probabaly the most healthy one of all our countries' cooking habits anyway.
Du bist, was du isst. Eat well, and your body is well. Eat crap, and your body becomes a piece of crap.
