Tip #2. Avoid Foods With Preservatives, Food Coloring, And Additives

Remember what we just talked about in Tip #2 above? Well, the same concept that holds true for acidic liquids also holds true for other poisons. That includes all food preservatives, food coloring, and synthetic food additives. You body wasn’t designed to digest these chemical substances, so it must either:
a. Eliminate them, b. Somehow neutralize them, or c. Park them away where they can’t damage your body (at least, not immediately).


If you’re not hydrating properly (see Tip #1), then forget about (a). Your body will then do either or both of (b) and (c). I’ve already told you where all the poisons get “parked” away in your body (see Tip #2), so let’s look at (c).
To neutralize acids, your body creates and pulls alkaline buffers from anywhere it can:
• It creates cholesterol to neutralize the acids (now you know why so many people suffer from high cholesterol problems)
• It bleaches iron from your red blood cells (can you see how anemia develops?),
• It pulls calcium from your bones (can you say osteoporosis?),
• It steals potassium from your muscle tissues (do you get muscle spasms?),
• It pulls zinc, magnesium, and other elements from everywhere else.
