Early Death by Junk Food? High Levels of Phosphate in Sodas and Processed Foods Accelerate the Aging Process in Mice
ScienceDaily (Apr. 28, 2010) " Here's another reason to kick the soda habit. New research published online in the FASEB Journal shows that high levels of phosphates may add more "pop" to sodas and processed foods than once thought. That's because researchers have found that the high levels of phosphates accelerate signs of aging. High phosphate levels may also increase the prevalence and severity of age-related complications, such as chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular calcification, and can also induce severe muscle and skin atrophy.
@oristarA,
"Pop" in this context means more "kick" or more sensation.
@engineer,
I read it as more power to accelerate aging. And ori, it's a play on words since pop is what people call Coke and other carbonated drinks.
@panzade,
As I reread your reply, I got an impression that the sodas and processed foods themselves are stuff contrituted to aging?
@oristarA,
Quote:sodas and processed foods themselves are stuff contributed to aging?
Yes, especially when high levels of phosphates are found in them.
Pop: gas bubbles in carbonated beverages jumping from the surface of the liquid and popping in the air. It makes the beverage sound as if it were sizzling. Phosphates help to increase the effect.
