Diet soda contains chemicals found in rust remover
NY Post ^ | 1/10/2017 | Christina Earle

Rust remover, anyone? Or maybe a dash of cement with your meal?

Swapping your “full-fat” Coke for a diet alternative might seem like the sensible, healthy thing to do. But think again.

Last week, experts at Imperial College, London claimed sugar-free drinks won’t help you lose weight or avoid Type-2 diabetes.

In fact, they could stimulate your appetite and make you gain weight.

And worse, some sugar-free soda has ingredients you wouldn’t usually dream of consuming — chemicals found in rust remover, steel cleaner, and cement, albeit in tiny quantities.

They also have ingredients that in high doses have been linked to DNA damage, hyperactivity, and bone fractures.

Dr. Marilyn Glenville, author of “The Natural Alternative To Sugar,” says: “We don’t know the chemical cocktail effect of these ingredients.

“Some negatively affect health. Women and girls who regularly drink these drinks increase their risk of osteoporosis in later life.”

“There is also a lot of research showing artificially sweetened drinks promote weight gain and affect gut bacteria levels.”

I lost a hundred and five pounds drinking 3 diet sodas a day, and sometimes going to McDonald’s or Wendy’s.

the lady who celebrated her 116th birthday last year had 3 Diet Dr Peppers for the past 40 years.

Many Americans have found during this last election season that newspaper ink contains chemicals found in male cattle droppings.

Phosphoric acid is in rust remover. It’s also in soda pop and many foods. It supplies phosphorus needed by your body.

Many sodas,Coke and Pepsi in particular contain phosphoric acid, the main ingredient in naval jelly. Before I had bodywork done on my 64 I used the stuff to control the rust in the trunk and rocker panels. A common problem with Chevys from those years. Also, phosphoric can be used to treat aluminum prior to painting. One reason I rarely drink soda anymore.

Coffee contains the killer chemical dihydrogen Monoxide....

A lot of foods also contain natural sources of mono-sodium gutinate ie. MSG...

Time to clutch them pearls...

Some people hit the genetic lottery, if you consider living over 100 hears a good thing. I suppose it depends on if you’re aware and mostly mobile.
Anyway, diet soda is garbage. One every once in awhile can’t hurt, but three a day is crazy. THere are too many natural things to drink to shove chemical carbinated drink into your body everyday. Water is great. Also, iced teal made with real sugar and lemonade. Just make sure you put very little sugar and mostly lemon. Red wine a few times a week is good with dinner and healthy. Milk is good and if you can’t take dairy, there is almond milk. But water is the best.

I tried diet soda when it first came out, and never finished the first can. It had a terrible chemical after-taste, which acted as a sort of warning to me.

I’ve never had another sip of the stuff.

Add some vodka, that should counteract all of those nasty chemicals!

Did you know that the chemists who developed rust remover used a diet soda ingredient?

Who really cares? Everything is a form of chemistry.
