Drinking sodas like Pepsi, Fanta, Sprite and Oasis could mess your DNA, seriously damaging the cells.

\u201cThe mitochondria consumes the oxygen to give you energy and if you damage it, as happens in a number of diseased states, then the cell starts to malfunction very seriously. And a whole array of diseases are being tied to damage to this DNA, including Parkinson\u2019s and quite a lot of neuro-degenerative diseases, but above all the whole process of ageing.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
