The irony of this is that diet soft drinks are worse for you than the “regular,” and that would be especially true for Canada, where the soft drinks have actual sugar rather than high fructose corn syrup. The orthophosphoric acid is bad in both drinks, but the diet soft drinks, with the aspartame that loves to eat the brain, is worse.
I am amazed the poisons people put into their bodies thinking they are actually helping themselves. My body is immediately repulsed by diet anything. It is telling me that is something that should not enter my body. I know people who drink the stuff all day long.
Phosphoric acid in soda accounts for only about .2% of the total syrup formula of any given soft drink. Do you think that minute amount of acid is going to affect your health, much less survive the much stronger acid in your stomach? Chemistry is hard.
but the diet soft drinks, with the aspartame that loves to eat the brain
Huh? If that's true, then consuming chicken and bananas also eats the human brain away with much greater voracity than aspartame. Who knew?
Actually, hfcs is used up here too. Only Mexican soft drinks use real sugar.
Erm . . . no, our soft drinks are made with HFCS too.
Not that there's anything wrong with that: high-fructose corn syrup is a mixture of glucose and fructose, while cane sugar (sucrose) is a disaccharide consisting of a fructose and a glucose molecule bonded together. The body breaks the bond between the two monosaccharides via hydrolysis, and then the end result is basically the same: two simple sugars the body can digest and use for energy.
