Could my Diet Coke habit be to blame for the difficulty I am having getting pregnant?
Yes!!! As a Nutritionist, I advise all of my clients who are either already pregnant or who are having difficulty getting pregnant to break their soda addiction.
Most carbonated soft drinks contain both sodium benzoate and ascorbic acid. When sodium benzoate and ascorbic acid come together, they make benzene. Benzene is classified as a class A carcinogen by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency). One of the side effects of excessive exposure to benzene is infertility.
If you are trying to get pregnant and are having trouble, ditch the soda. Embrace Perrier or herbal tea! Your body will thank you and so will your dentist. The pH of soda is similar to battery acid. It does wonders to the enamel of your pearly whites! If you’ve spend a small fortune an getting a Hollywood white smile, you are throwing it all away every time you sip on a soda. Soda will not only discolor your teeth, it also eats away at your enamel making you more susceptible to tooth decay and gum disease. So, Hot Mamas, let vanity, your health, and your future baby be your guide and put soda on your “so last season” list.
