What You Need to Know About Magnesium

Do you drink carbonated beverages on a regular basis?

Most dark colored sodas contain phosphates. These substances actually bind with magnesium inside the digestive tract, rendering it unavailable to the body. So even if you are eating a balanced diet, by drinking soda with your meals you are flushing magnesium out of your system.  The average consumption of carbonated beverages today is more than ten times what it was in 1940.This skyrocketing increase is responsible for both reduced magnesium and calcium availability in the body.
