A NEW study from the UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas reveals that the more overweight a person is, the more likely they are to have kidney stones.

According to News Target Network, the researchers conclude that obesity and diabetes actually cause the kidney stones.

The researchers said: "We already know that kidney stones are regularly formed when people drink soft drinks. The more soft drinks they consume, the more overweight they become, and the more likely they are to be diagnosed as diabetic or obese."

As a result, there is a strong correlation between rates of obesity and kidney stones because they have the same fundamental cause and that is soft drinks.

This may be yet one more reason to avoid consuming soft drinks, they not only cause diabetes and obesity, they also cause kidney stones.

It's because of their acidity and radical mineral imbalances. Your body must buffer the acidity of soft drinks with calcium from your own bones. As this calcium is eliminated through your urine, it slowly forms kidney stones.

The researchers said that getting rid of the kidney stones is easy with the right nutrition and strongly alkaline diet by eating chlorella, spirulina, vegetables, green foods and superfoods while eliminating acidic ingredients from your diet white flour, refined white sugar, soft drinks, fruit juices.
