Do we think about what goes into our bodies?
That is a serious question that, thanks in large part to facebook, I am thinking about this morning.
http://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/would-mouse-dissolve-mountain-dew-30-days
Follow that link to a page in which they take a dead rat (purchased at a pet store) and in the name of science and to prove/disprove a real court case, saw what would happen if you placed it in mountain dew for 30 days.
True to what pepsi said, the mouse not only dissolved beyond recognition (besides the tail) but it formed a gooey substance no longer even looking like mountain dew anymore.
And just to think, some people dont brush their teeth after drinking that stuff. If it can dissolve an entire rat, what do you think it can do to the enamel on your teeth, your intestines, your tissue? We have all done that experiment back in like junior high where you place a nail inside of a jar with coke a cola and dont touch it till the end of school. Usually only to fine out that the coke has eaten its way through the nail and all that remains in shards of what use to be considered a nail.
I stopped drinking sodas after that. Not only where they making me fat but just the thought of what they had to of been doing to my teeth and internal organs. I literally got sick. I will admit that over the years I have drank soda as a chaser with alcohol and stuff like that but I am far from a "regular" soda drinker on that main principle alone. Its more of a "when I drink, I smoke" situations. No, I do not actually smoke. EW. Nor have I ever smoked or will I ever smoke. Screw that.
If youve ever listened to the country song, you will understand what I mean, but anyway back to the original subject.
Its not just sodas to think about, what about all the other majorly processed food that we eat?
Its astounding to see food that is consumed like crazy here in America, that is completely illegal in other countries because they have already discovered the fact that that shit will make you sick and causes cancer. We are so lazy that instead of listening to the caution of 'hey that shit isnt real food, its literally only one chemical away from being considered plastic' we are like "yolo, its quick, cheap, and tastes great. Who cares if its slowly destroying me from the inside out'.
Long rant over, just think about the foods and drink that you are allowing into your body.
