What If You Drank 2.2 Liters of Coca-Cola Every Day?

President Barack Obama. Virginia, we are counting on you. Republicans want to steal enough seats in

Congress to raid the next election and wield unchecked power for two more years. But you can stop

them by voting yes by April 21st. Help put our elections back on a level playing field and let

voters decide not politicians. Vote yes by April 21st. Paid for by Virginians for fair elections.

Now there's a state in Mexico that consumes on average 2.2 liters of Coca-Cola every single day.

And I'm not kidding. It's Chiapas, Mexico. They even incorporate Coca-Cola into various religious

rituals. Now 2.2 liters of Coca-Cola every single day is five times the national average of Mexico.

Now of course if we take a look at the three countries that consume the most Coca-Cola in the

world, Mexico is number one. U.S. comes in number two and Brazil number three. Now I also found in

Chiapas that 3% of the babies are given Coca-Cola. So obviously there's a very severe lack of

awareness or education on what Coca-Cola can do to our bodies. Now in Chiapas, Mexico,

diabetes deaths rank number two behind heart disease. Now I wonder what causes heart disease.

Well, could it be the same thing? Did you realize between 2011 and 2015, both Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola

sponsored 95 national health organizations, including health clinics, medical facilities to support

the fight against the obesity epidemic? Now isn't that like putting out a fire with gasoline?

I mean their PR campaigns, their public relations campaigns are incredible. They used to sponsor for

eight years the American Dietetic Association with their continued educational credits, which

that's amazing because if you're going to sponsor an organization like that, I mean wouldn't that

potentially alter what they recommend or even what they're taught in school? Nah, they wouldn't

do that. Now check this out. 2.2 liters of Coca-Cola equals 208 grams of sugar. Okay, that's 52

teaspoons of sugar a day. Now let that sink in. 52 teaspoons of sugar. Now that's not even

including what else they are. I mean they're probably eating tortillas, they're probably eating other

carbs, maybe other sweetened things like juice and things like that. This is just from Coca-Cola.

Incredible. So whether they're using kifrutus corn syrup or just regular sugar, which is a

combination of fructose and glucose, the fructose part does not lower adrenaline, which is the

hunger hormone. Okay, so it's not going to satisfy the person. They can drink a lot without

the feeling that they had too much and the fructose part of this sugar has some unique things about

it. It really is similar to consuming alcohol for your liver because all it's tax season and at

life lock, we know you're tired of numbers, but here's a big one you need to hear. Billions. That's

the amount of money and refunds. The IRS has flagged for possible identity fraud. Now here's another

big number. 100 million. That's how many data points life lock monitors every second. If your

identity is stolen, we'll fix it guaranteed. One last big number. Save up to 40% your first year.

Love yourself and your body cannot deal with fructose, only the liver. So it forces the liver

to have the deal with this fructose and create a lot of problems, not just with the fatty liver,

but with insulin resistance, and with this comes a whole series of additional symptoms.

And then we have the glucose, right? So you're consuming this empty carbohydrate, which is going to

deplete your calcium, your vitamin C, your B1, D3, zinc, magnesium, and especially potassium.

If you're going to drink that much liquid candy, you're going to deplete your potassium and

create a condition called hypocalemia. Now here are the symptoms with low potassium.

Number one, higher pulse rate. Number two, weak muscles. There's even a condition where you can

go paralyzed in your lower extremity if you have lower potassium, arrhythmias, high blood pressure,

and even constipation. Then they had the phosphoric acid. And they mainly do it for the flavor to

decrease the bacterial and mold counts. But the problem is phosphoric acid is a very corrosive

acid. It's going to eat up your bones. It's going to eat up your teeth and definitely create

cavities. And now we have an increased risk of osteoporosis and also a problem with absorbing zinc

and iron. So that's phosphoric acid. And then of course they have caffeine, about 149.6 milligrams

of caffeine. And then we have the caramel coloring. Now you might think caramel coloring is not

that bad, but it creates something called advanced glycation and products. That is a compound where

you're binding a protein with a sugar or a fat with a sugar. And it's unusable now.

And that's even like a measurement of the A1C where the proteins are glycated in your hemoglobin.

So it's basically damaged protein that cannot be used. And that's involved with so many chronic

degenerative diseases. And it's a biomarker for aging. So you're going to add this caramel

flavoring that originates from. I think they have it from either like a sugar from a corn or

something. And then they heat it. And it creates all sorts of issues. I mean, I can't think of

more of a deadly combination between these ingredients. There's absolutely nothing in this drink

that benefits you at all. Now since we're on the topic of sugar, I created a really interesting

video on sugar that I think you should check out. I put it up right here.
