New research says that sodas acually accelerate signs of aging. It may also increase age-related problems like kidney disease, cardiovascular calcification, and skin atrophy. The levels of phosphate is the culprit. Phosphate is used in sodas is elevated and can make you live less and increase signs of aging. Scientists did tests on this with mice. One set of mice had elevated phosphate and lived about 8 to 15 weeks. While, the other set lived 20 weeks. Scientists say keep your phosphate levels healthy and keep it in balance for a longer life.
I didn't know anything about "phosphate" or anything like that that was in soda. I never really put that much thought into it. I would definitely want to try to control my soda intake. It makes me want to think more of what I put into my body and the consequenses. I wouldn't want to make myself more toxic or make myself age faster.
