Professor piper said in an interview. “this material can be seriously damaged DNA damage in the mitochondria, its ability to prevent it entirely activity will make its completely,” strike “to provide oxygen consumption. Mitochondria to people, if you destroy the energy, cells will appear very serious fault. Now many diseases with such DNA damage, such as Parkinson’s disease and many nervous system degenerative diseases, the most serious should belong to the aging process.”

This finding may drink carbonic acid beverage of global consumers seriously, ring will also aggravate the debate about the food additives. Earlier studies that cause hyperactivity food additives.
