Pepsi Cola Wichita, KS or why I need to turn down loads to OKC from now on.

Here's one you won't believe; i've hauled tanker loads of acid into those soft drink bottleing plants. That's one reason I quit drinking that stuff. Look on the cans for "phosphoric acid". Had to suit up with a chem suit, gloves, goggles to unload that stuff. Same acid with a different strength, hauled to South Florida, it goes into prepackaged liquid douche.

 

Holy Moses!!

 

Yes, throat cancer, tingling in the throat/tongue, etc.

 

Now everytime I see someone drinking a soda, I will ask them what flavor douche they are drinking, lol.

 

yep,used to deliver corrosive totes to coca cola in queens..scary

 

I live and work in Wichita KS. The Pepsi bottling plant, from my understanding, does an enormous business. I work as a retail clerk for a retail company. We sell Pepsi products quicker than we can keep up with the demand.

I personally have drastically cut down on all the various sodas that I have drunken in the past. However, the retail business dictates that we must continuously push and sell all products. The employees paychecks depend on it, as far as the number of hours per week are worked by the employees, all the way up to the bonuses that management gets

Everyday that I go to work and punch into the time clock, I TRULY and GENUINELY thank the good Lord for having the job. This year will be my 6th. year with the company.

In another 4 or 5 years, providing that I do NOT get terminated or laid off, I will have both my MVR and 10 year employment record in good standing. I am hoping to eventually be able to learn how to drive a truck and possibly go OTR as a solo driver.

In the mean time, I am also getting body healthier and more physically fit, not only for myself, but to also be able to comply with D.O.T. standards. Currently, I have lost 30 lbs. of the 50 lbs. that I need to lose. I am still working to get my blood pressure and sugar levels down to where they are supposed to be. So far, I have avoided diabetes.

 

Take a cinnamon capsule twice a day to help regulate sugar levels. I take a 1000mg twice a day & it does assist the Metformin I also take twice a day. The Metformin helped a lot, but the cinnamon pushed it on down to normal levels. Can get Metformin online much cheaper than a perscription with a doctor. Viagra too,lol

 

People will wonder why your eyes glaze over when you look at a can of coca cola.

 

Thank you.

I posted some research as shown below.

God bless you and your family! God bless the U.S.A.!

10 Health Benefits of Cinnamon

Published on March 23, 2006

Cinnamon has long been a popular spice in baking and cooking. Research has found that it is not only delicious but it's healthy, too. Just make sure that you're buying true cinnamon and not cassia, which is often sold as cinnamon in stores.

Here are 10 Health Benefits of Cinnamon that may make you want to include it in your diet every day.

Lower Cholesterol
Studies have shown that just 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon per day can lower LDL cholesterol.

Blood Sugar Regulation
Several studies suggest that cinnamon may have a regulatory effect on blood sugar, making it especially beneficial for people with Type 2 diabetes.

Yeast Infection Help
In some studies, cinnamon has shown an amazing ability to stop medication-resistant yeast infections.

Cancer Prevention
In a study published by researchers at the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Maryland, cinnamon reduced the proliferation of leukemia and lymphoma cancer cells.

Anti-Clotting
It has an anti-clotting effect on the blood.

Arthritis Relief
In a study at Copenhagen University, patients given half a teaspoon of cinnamon powder combined with one tablespoon of honey every morning before breakfast had significant relief in arthritis pain after one week and could walk without pain within one month.

Anti-Bacterial
When added to food, it inhibits bacterial growth and food spoilage, making it a natural food preservative.

Brain Health
One study found that smelling cinnamon boosts cognitive function and memory.

E. Coli Fighter
Researchers at Kansas State University found that cinnamon fights the E. coli bacteria in unpasteurized juices.

High in Nutrients
It is a great source of manganese, fiber, iron, and calcium.

Metformin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Metformin (BP, pronounced /mɛtˈfɔrmɨn/, met-FAWR-min; originally sold as Glucophage) is an oral antidiabetic drug in the biguanide class. It is the first-line drug of choice for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, in particular, in overweight and obese people and those with normal kidney function. Its use in gestational diabetes has been limited by safety concerns. It is also used in the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome, and has been investigated for other diseases where insulin resistance may be an important factor. Metformin works by suppressing glucose production by the liver.
Metformin is the only antidiabetic drug that has been conclusively shown to prevent the cardiovascular complications of diabetes. It helps reduce LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and is not associated with weight gain. As of 2010, metformin is one of only two oral antidiabetics in the World Health Organization Model List of Essential Medicines (the other being glibenclamide).
When prescribed appropriately, metformin causes few adverse effects (the most common is gastrointestinal upset) and is associated with a low risk of hypoglycemia. Lactic acidosis (a buildup of lactate in the blood) can be a serious concern in overdose and when it is prescribed to people with contraindications, but otherwise, there is no significant risk.
First synthesized and found to reduce blood sugar in the 1920s, metformin was forgotten for the next two decades as research shifted to insulin and other antidiabetic drugs. Interest in metformin was rekindled in the late 1940s after several reports that it could reduce blood sugar levels in people, and in 1957, French physician Jean Sterne published the first clinical trial of metformin as a treatment for diabetes. It was introduced to the United Kingdom in 1958, Canada in 1972, and the United States in 1995. Metformin is now believed to be the most widely prescribed antidiabetic drug in the world; in the United States alone, more than 48 million prescriptions were filled in 2010 for its generic formulations.

Medical uses
Metformin is primarily used for type 2 diabetes, but is increasingly being used in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and premature puberty, three other diseases that feature insulin resistance; these indications are still considered experimental. The benefit of metformin in NAFLD has not been extensively studied and may be only temporary; although some randomized controlled trials have found significant improvement with its use, the evidence is still insufficient.

Type 2 diabetes
The main use for metformin is in the treatment of diabetes mellitus type 2, especially in overweight people. In this group, over 10 years of treatment, metformin reduced diabetes complications and overall mortality by about 30% when compared with insulin and sulfonylureas (glibenclamide and chlorpropamide) and by about 40% when compared with the group only given dietary advice. This difference held in people who were followed up for five to 10 years after the study. Since intensive glucose control with metformin appears to decrease the risk of diabetes-related endpoints in overweight people with diabetes, and is associated with less weight gain and fewer hypoglycaemic attacks than are insulin and sulphonylureas, it may be the first-line pharmacological therapy of choice in this group. In addition, metformin had no effect on body weight: Over the 10-year treatment period, the metformin group gained about 1 kg, the same as the dietary advice group, while the sulfonylureas group gained 3 kg, and the insulin group, 6 kg. As metformin affords a similar level of blood sugar control to insulin and sulfonylureas, it appears to decrease mortality primarily through decreasing heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular complications.
Metformin has a lower risk of hypoglycemia than the sulfonylureas, although it has uncommonly occurred during intense exercise, calorie deficit, or when used with other agents to lower blood glucose. Metformin is also not associated with weight gain, and modestly reduces LDL and triglyceride levels.

Prediabetes
Metformin treatment of people at risk for type 2 diabetes may decrease their chances of developing the disease, although intensive physical exercise and dieting work significantly better for this purpose. In a large U.S. study known as the Diabetes Prevention Program, participants were divided into groups and given either placebo, metformin, or lifestyle intervention, and followed for an average of three years. The intensive program of lifestyle modifications included a 16-lesson training on dieting and exercise followed by monthly individualized sessions with the goals to decrease the body weight by 7% and engage in a physical activity for at least 150 minutes per week. The incidence of diabetes was 58% lower in the lifestyle group and 31% lower in those given metformin. Among younger people with a higher body mass index, lifestyle modification was no more effective than metformin, and for older individuals with a lower body mass index, metformin was no better than placebo in preventing diabetes. After ten years, the incidence of diabetes was 34% lower in the group of participants given diet and exercise and 18% lower in those given metformin. It is unclear whether metformin slowed down the progression of prediabetes to diabetes (true preventive effect), or the decrease of diabetes in the treated population was simply due to its glucose-lowering action (treatment effect).
