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

us comes in number two and brazil number

three now i also found in chiapas

that three percent 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

down in chapis 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 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 ate 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 high fructose corn syrup or just

regular sugar which is a combination of

fructose and glucose

the fructose part

does not lower

ghrelin 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 of your cells in 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

hypokalemia 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 paralyze in your lower extremity if

you have lower potassium

arrhythmias

high blood pressure and even

constipation then they had 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 okay and then

of course they have caffeine about

149.6 milligrams of caffeine

and then we have the caramel coloring

right now you might think

caramel coloring is not that bad but

it creates something called advanced

glycation

end 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 okay 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 a 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
