What do you know about Coca Cola? Have you heard that it is really bad for you health. I have heard that if you put chicken meat in it for 10 days you will see only the bone and that a knife put in a coca cola cannot cut anymore? What about you, have you heard about these things or something else about coca cola?

hi leowyatt,
Any soft drink(soda),whether it is Coca cola or Pepsi is the most acidic beverage you can buy, with a pH of about 2.5, about the same as vinegar.Acid oxidizes whatever it comes in contact with.If you put soda or vinegar on metal, it will rust it quickly-so you can imagine the devastating effect it can have inside our body.
Soft drinks also contain high levels of phosphorous,which leaches out calcium from your bones.Thus increased soft drink consumption is a major factor that contributes to osteoporosis.Tooth loss, periodontal disease, and gingivitis can be problems, especially with a high phosphorus intake, particularly from soft drinks.
Besides weak bones, weakened immune system and dissolving teeth,consumption of soft drinks also leads to weight gain,obesity and resulting diseases and disorders.
Diet sodas are no better-Aspartame,the sweetener that is used,can cause increased levels of Methanol in our body leading to an increased risk of Cancer.

I heard all kind of bad things about coca cola, but despite that, people still buy it. Not only coca cola is really unhealthy, but all sodas are bad. Drinking it daily can lead to serious stomach problems for example. I for one, drink coca cola from time to time, but don't abuse it.
