ABOUT SPARKA
"What if one drink could actually help solve some of the most serious health problems in America today? Can it be done, with one simple bottle?"
That's the question Dr. Josh Leichtberg, M.D. ("Light-berg"), the award-winning internist, asked himself after years of watching millions of Americans put their lives in danger by drinking sodas and juices full of sugar and/or potentially harmful chemicals (aspartame, sucralose, phosphoric acid, artificial colors and flavors, benzoate, etc.)
Years earlier, the doctor had created for his family an all-natural, healthful drink with no calories, no sugar or sugar alcohols, no artificial sweeteners, no artificial flavors or colors, and no caffeine. He personally mixed this delicious drink, and made it a nutritional supplement that supplies essential nutrients with every bottle.
Why did he do it? "I just couldn’t find anything to drink in the store," says Dr. Leichtberg. "Any store. It’s all junk out there, even the so-called 'healthy' drinks. Why are we ingesting all that sugar, or chemicals, when all we want to do is hydrate? What does sugar have to do with thirst?? So why did I do it? Because there was no choice. This all started because I just wanted something to drink in the house that tasted great and wasn't destructive to our health.”
For years, this unnamed concoction was the only flavored drink anyone consumed at the doctor's home. Dr. Leichtberg noticed that his teenage kids (and their friends) actually preferred his new drink to regular soda pop. Surprised, he realized he was on to something. If this drink became popular, he reasoned, it could have a real impact on people's health. Could he help the health of the nation?
Dr. Leichtberg—who specializes in internal medicine and weight control—took into account the fact that both adult and childhood diabetes and obesity are rampant in this country, costing millions of lives and billions of dollars. Contributing heavily to these problems is the amount of sugar Americans consume.
And the doctor knew that diet drinks are also problematic, due to the potential side effects of the artificial sweeteners, chemicals, caffeine and other additives they contain. (Did you know that there are over 92 different health side effects associated with aspartame consumption alone, including seizures, blindness, memory loss, severe depression, shortness of breath, nausea and more?) These health issues create not only a direct problem, but also contribute to consumer resistance to diet drinks, which exists anyway because diet drinks usually taste bad (until now).
In mid-2007, the decision was made to introduce Dr. Leichtberg's unique new drink to the public, through Medicus Formulas, Inc., the highly respected producer of dietary supplements and weight control programs. And Sparka was born—the delicious zero-calorie concoction that is also a natural dietary supplement.
Now available to the general public, Sparka replaces health-damaging sodas, juices, and other sugar/chemical-laden drinks—with a healthful nutritional drink. Unlike any other product on the market today, Sparka has no downside. People drink Sparka as their allotted daily water intake—thus avoiding all added sugar, calories and potentially harmful chemicals—while they get essential nutritional support at the same time!
And every flavor of Sparka (four now, more coming soon) is completely delicious, cool and refreshing.
"Excessive sugar consumption has been linked to various health problems—most especially obesity and diabetes, but also many other serious diseases," says Dr. Leichtberg. "Isn't it great that we can help solve these critical health issues, with a natural, healthful drink that people love?"
Gone are the days in the Leichtberg house of concocting delicious fruit-flavored bubbly water for his kids' delight, just to keep them away from colas and other sodas and sugar-laden fruit juices.
Now there's Sparka for everyone—zero calories, delicious, refreshing, and healthful!
