Sure everyone likes a Coke now and then. But have you ever stopped to think what’s in that can of intoxicatingly sweet escape? How about almost 10 cubes of sugar? Imagine popping 10 sugar cubes in your mouth… bang! You are gone on a sugar fueled roller coaster. Ok. Maybe you’re not as sensitive to sugar rushes as me. How about phosphoric acid? I don’t knows why it’s in there, but I can tell you this, I used to use phosphoric acid to eat rust on old cars.
Have ever wondered why everyone in soda ads is thin? Because if you drink soda all the time you are probably going to get fat, or maybe fatter. They even think diet soda makes you fat. Wait, what! I think all of those people in those soda ads are high on sugar—this explains all of those ridiculous smiles. It’s a good thing the commercials are short because you know their all going to be in sugar comas in 5 minutes.
Soda companies create this happy alternate reality to get you to drink gallons and gallons of their chemical stew. It’s hugely profitable and people get hooked on it.
What do you think?
I knew about the sugar but had no idea about the phosphoric acid. This is going to make me think twice before I pick up the next can of soda.
Very useful information. Loved this web-site
The only thing I would use coca cola for is to clean the battery acid off my car!
this link is also useful, it breaks down what happens in the body when a whole soda is drunk. There’s a reason coke is called coke, it used to HAVE cocaine in it. The results you get today by drinking a coke mimic the effects of cocaine.

Great start. I would like to see references to the data you’ve sited. Providing references adds a professionalism and credibility to your work. In the absence of references, the claims may sound like hyperbole to some. Keep up the good work.
If only it was real sugar cubes! Most soda cans (except products like Cokes from Mexico who use real cane sugar) are laced with H.F.C.S. (High Fructose Corn Syrup)… This poison is a cheap replacement for real sugar and is extremely toxic to human life, google: “HFCF DANGERS”. Recently, this deadly fat builder has been reclassified as a “sugar”and unfortunately can be found in most sweetened, processed foods / drinks everywhere!…Consumer beware!
Don’t stop what you are doing! My request is that you provide a list of alternatives to soda. How does sweetened or unsweetened iced tea compare? What about sweetened tea from fast food restaurants? Thanks for opening our eyes to this truth.
I really wish I hadn’t witnessed this as I really want just one now! Justin Gage Jersey
THANK YOU for your messages. I just hope to God that they get through to our young (and old) people who need to know how terrible drinking soda is.
I’m a retired Registered Dietitian and have personally seen and worked with the ravages of soda (and fast food).< ?php
