An interesting piece of information.......
Have a look at the wrapper on a Coca-Cola 1.5-liter bottle and in the ingredients label, you will find phosphoric acid in it. Minute quantities of ethylene glycol are also used (which is acknowledged in the soft drink world for making it really chill). This is popularly known as antifreeze, which prevents water from freezing at 0 degrees Celsius and instead drops it 4-5 degrees with minute quantities. This chemical is a known slow poison in the caliber of arsenic.
So, if you manage to drink about 4 liters of Coke within an hour or so, you can die. Read along and give up these dangerous things. Be natural; have flavored milks, tender coconuts, buttermilk, lassi, and plain water instead of these "soft" drinks. Guess what's the pH for soft drinks, e.g. Coke? PH 3.4! This acidity is strong enough to dissolve teeth and bones! Our human body stops building bones at the age of about 30. Soft drinks do not have any nutritional value (in terms of vitamins & minerals). It is high in sugar content, carbonic acid, chemicals i.e. colorings, etc.
Some like to take cold soft drinks after each meal. Guess what's the impact? Our body needs an optimum temperature of 37 degrees Celsius for digestive enzyme functioning. The temperature of cold soft drinks is very much below 37 degrees or even close to 0 degrees Celsius. This will dilute the enzymes & stress the digestive system. The food taken will not be digested. In fact, it will be fermented! The fermented food produces gases, decays, and becomes toxin, gets absorbed by the intestine, circulates in the bloodstream, and is carried to the whole body. Hence toxin is cumulated in other parts of the body, developing into various diseases.
Think before you drink Coke/Pepsi (or any soft drink) again. Have you ever thought what you drink when you drink an aerated drink? You gulp down carbon dioxide when nobody in the world would advise you to drink CO2. Two months back, there was a competition at Delhi University "Who could drink the most Coke?" The winner drank 8 bottles and fainted on the spot - too much CO2 in the blood. Thereafter, the principal banned all soft drinks from the college canteen!
While this might have been an extreme measure, their results do provide some food for thought. Did you know that soft drinks use chemicals in them that cause immense harm to you? Someone put a broken tooth in a bottle of Pepsi and in 10 days, it DISSOLVED! Can you believe it? Teeth and bones are the only human parts that stay intact for years after death. Imagine what the drink must be doing to your soft intestines and stomach lining!

Hi Nithya,
An eye-opener for all. Should serve as a 'soul search' item for Indra Nooyi. Is Nooyi listening? She loves thayir saadham like you and I but sells the zero-nutritive value, soft killer to make millions. How dare she? Pose this challenge to her - will she scrap such nonsense drinks from the world? And add safe and healthy products to her portfolio? As one of the most powerful businesswomen in the world, she can, if she wills.
Bravely carry on with your crusade. Be ready to face the barrage from the mean-minded lobby.
Best wishes

I don't think so... This company (Coca-Cola) spends millions of dollars to maintain its brand and the quality of its drinks. It is the safest, with Food Safety certification (ISO 22000) and has even exceeded this by implementing PAS 220. You would not find a similar company (soft drinks) with the same level of concern for health and safety.

It's not entirely true. CO2 and chemicals/acids are present in low quantities that can be observed by our body. However, the company has not passed the Food Safety certification. Remember, "Excessiveness of anything is always dangerous to health."
