An interesting thing about Coca-Cola....

[VetLegion]

I head water is a pretty good cleaning substance also.

Stop drinking water. Make it a national program.

A terrifying number of things dissolves in water, including the human body!

Our human body stops building bones at around the age of 30. After that it’ll be dissolving about 8-18% of the bones each year through the urine depending on the acidity of the food intake (acidity does not depend on the taste of the
food, but on the ratio of potassium/calcium/ magnesium etc. to phosphorus).

Did anyone else catch this, or did everyone figure it was too stupid for comment?

Are you guessing...or have you actually drunk some radiator water?

Pretty much ... I mean, I guess if you took out your bones and set them in coke they'd dissolve It's not particularly good for your teeth, so just ... brush

Anyhow, diet sodas taste bad to people who like sugar sodas.

However, do what I did. Drink no soda for a few months (6 in my case). Then start drinking diet. They taste fine then, as long as you don't consume them alongside sugar (so, if I'm having some Oreos or something, I have milk) ... but that's good anyway as it encourages less sugar consumption

milk has sugar . . . .



Oreos has sugar . . . .

I drink one or more cans per day, and I love it. I have been on the Coke tour in Atl. two time and also love it.

They're already using condoms to weave saris.

I meant the implications of losing 8 percent of your bone mass annually, without even considering the coke...

DaShi - I don't think that what you have quoted is from his website. Where did you get that material?

The only time I drink carbonated beverages is when they're the only (handy) option. I much prefer the taste of fruit juice with or (preferably) without added sugar. I don't like the taste of coke or pepsi much at all in any case.

Question, question!

If I drink and eat stuff, that is cold, should that not help me lose weight? As the body requires energy to keep itself warm, and thus, needs more energy. Not ice-cream and softdrinks, though. Y'know, food.
