I tease with the header, I do… Well, kinda. As a friend recently posted, Diet Pepsi was her drink of choice and in honor of that, here are a few flavors of Pepsi from around the world that you might not have heard of… And considering what they are, not sure that’s a bad thing (check out the complete list here, at the weburbanist.com) : Drank in Germany, Italy, Spain, Japan, Asia, Hawaii and Mexico. There were quite a few more posted on the site I listed, as well as the description and success of each, so its definitely worth a looksee if interested. I shall ever be a Diet Dr Pepper girl, I’m afraid. And I will drink it *cries* no matter what any report says : New research in the FASEB Journal shows that the phosphates in popular sodas accelerate signs of aging and may also increase the prevalence of age-related complications such as kidney disease, cardiovascular calcification and skin atrophy. To make this discovery, Harvard researcher M. Shawkat Razzaque examined the effects of high phosphate levels in three groups of mice. The first group of mice was missing a gene (klotho), which when absent, causes mice to have toxic levels of phosphate in their bodies. These mice lived 8 to 15 weeks. The second group of mice was missing the klotho gene and a second gene (NaPi2a), which when absent at the same time, substantially lowered the amount of phosphate in their bodies. These mice lived to 20 weeks. The third group of mice was like the second group (missing both the klotho and NaPi2a genes), except they were fed a high-phosphate diet. All of these mice died by 15 weeks, like those in the first group. According to Razzaque, this suggests that phosphate has toxic effects in mice, and may have a similar effect in other mammals, including humans. “Humans need a healthy diet and keeping the balance of phosphate in the diet may be important for a healthy life and longevity,” said Razzaque, from the Harvard School of Dental Medicine. “Avoid phosphate toxicity and enjoy a healthy life.” I like scientists, I do. So why are they trying to hurt me with this type of study… Why – Don’t they want me to be happy? *runs off to hide 24 pack of Diet Dr. Pepper from the stupid scientists that are making me sad* They can have anything they want from me, but not my Diet Dr. Pepper, by gawd. *sniffles* They can’t have that. NOooooooo!

Previše gaziranih pića ubrzava starenje Istraživanja su pokazala da fosfat, koji mnogim gaziranim napitcima daje okus svježine može ubrzati proces starenja Mineral, koji se također dodaje prerađenom mesu, kolačima i kruhu, sasušuje izgled kože, a može također štetiti srcu i bubrezima. I premda je testiranje provedeno samo na miševima, istraživači sa Sveučilišta Harvard vjeruju kako rezultati pokazuju potencijalne posljedice visokih doza fosfata. No ova studija nije prva koja je pod znak upitnika dovela sigurnost gaziranih pića koja milijuni ljudi svaki dan konzumiraju. Krhke kosti, rak gušterače, slabljenje mišića i paraliza povezane su s konzumacijom takvih pića, a smatra se kako samo dvije limenke tjedno povećavaju rizik. U posljednjoj studiji, dr. Shawkat Razzaque, proučavao je efekte fosfata na tri grupe miševa. Prva grupa bila je genetski preinačena da posjeduje gen po imenu kloto, zbog čega su životinje imale većino nivo fosfata od normalnog. Miševi su živjeli od 8 do 15 tjedana, te patili od niza zdravstvenih problema povezanih s preranim starenjem. Druga grupa nije imala dotični gen, a nivo fosfata bio je na normalnoj razini. Životinje su živjele oko 20 tjedana. Treća pak grupa je uzgajana isto kao i druga, osim što su miševi konzumirali hranu bogatu fosfatom. Sve životinje uginule su do 15 tjedna, kao i kod prve grupe. Ovo pokazuje, kako tvrde znanstvenici, da fosfat ima toksične efekte. ˝Održavanje balansa fosfata u prehrani može biti od ključne važnosti za zdravlje i dugovječnost˝, navodi se u studiji. No proizvođači gaziranih pića dovode u pitanje ovu studiju, sugerirajući kako istraživanje nije analiziralo takva pića specifično. Richard Laming iz Britanske udruge za gazirana pića dodaje: ˝Samo 3 posto fosfata dolazi iz takvih pića. Ljudi mogu nastaviti uživati u njima umjereno bez bojazni za zdravlje.˝
