Phil Marineau, former President of Pepsi-cola was on your show today discussing serious health problems related to soft drink consumption with Mika Brzezinski. Marineau said the soft drink industry is interested in what consumers prefer because Pepsi-cola is part of the economy.  Well, here's an idea for you soft drink innovators. Stop focusing on the sugar factor; instead, make a drink that creates a base inventory in the body and not an acidic environment. In other words, San Pellegrino and Apollinaris bottled water are carbonated AND affect the body's pH in a healthy way. Homemade ginger tea is pH balanced. Research conducted by Dr. Susan Brown shows that consuming pH balanced food and drink mitigates the symptoms of arthritis, cancers, allergies, asthma, and diabetes. Americans need healthy alternatives in their diets and the time is now. Schools and consumers would buy it because the shift is toward better health, as long as it's marketed as a fun drink and healthy for you. Those with chronic illness and organic consumers will buy it for other reasons. For more information about pH balancing and the affects on the body, read the "Acid Alkaline Food Guide," by Dr. Susan Brown and Larry Trivieri.
