Drinkig coke is safe or not?

Question

Drinkig coke is safe or not?

Answer 1

safe!!!

Answer 2

its safe, but snorting it isnt....

Answer 3

Have you ever done the test of putting a tooth in a glass of coke over night. It decays extremely fast. Just imagine what it would be doing internally. On that note, I still love the stuff.

Answer 4

Common sense should indicate to anyone that our bodies weren't designed for daily regiments of cans full of chemicals and ludicrous amounts of sugar. On the other hand, if you really like it and every once in a while have one, it wont do you any harm. But for that matter, small doses of arsenic won't hurt you either.

Answer 5

its not good for you you, but as lomg as you dont have any health problems its fine as long as you dont drink too much of it.

Answer 6

Not safe.    

Try Butter milk and Lassi or the fresh fruit juices

your safest bet.

Answer 7

I guess it is safe, but I would not drink it regularly. only very once in a while. Drink tap water, wine or beer, v8 juice, OJ

Answer 8

I may be a little prejudice, ( my husband works for Coke) but

I don't think that drinking a Coke now and then will harm you in any way.....unless you are a Diabetic or have other health issues with diet restrictions. Everything in moderation right.

Answer 9

Drinking any kind of soda is bad for you.. its not just coke sweeite

Answer 10

i say any thing in moderation

Answer 11

Not immediately dangerous - BUT very dangerous in the long term.

Answer 12

Answer 13

1. Soft drinks mess with your digestive system.  If you eat healthy foods, soft drinks obstruct your body in the process of taking in the nutrients. So not only are soft drinks unhealthy, they lessen the benefits of the healthy stuff too.

2. Soft drinks can leach off the aluminum inside the can when stored for longer periods.  Coincidentally, autopsies of Alzheimer patients reveal heightened aluminum levels in the brain.  Metal in the brain – that doesn’t necessarily sound like a good thing.

3. Tooth Decay such as total loss of enamel on the teeth (that used to occur only among the elderly) has been reported by dentists in teenage boys and girls who are frequent consumers of soft drinks. Maybe the kids Christmas presents this year should be a teeth whitening series?

4. Soft drinks make you thirstier because they contain sodium (a form of salt). If you get thirsty, have another can!

5. Soft Drinks contain a wide variety of chemical acids like acetic, fumaric, gluconic, and phosphoric acids. No wonder sodas are very effective when it comes to removing rust from a car bumper or cleaning car engines. Maybe they should launch a new product: Coca-Cleaner - they could certainly use some of the same ingredients, if not just the same recipe.

6. Soft drinks lead to weakened bones, particularly in growing teens due to a lack of calcium rich fluid consumption. Soft drinks have also been linked with bone fractures in teenage girls.

7. Soft drinks weaken your immune system. Drinking soft drinks instead of water can weaken your body at the cellular level causing a weakened immune system.

8. Diet soft drinks contain Aspartame, an additive that has been linked with depression, insomnia, neurological disease and a many other diseases. Aspartame is a strong neurotoxin and endocrine disrupter.

9. Soft drinks are hundreds of thousands times more acidic than the natural environment in your body. Diseases thrive in an acidic environment.

10. The phosphates in soft drinks leach vital minerals from your body. A severe lack of minerals such as magnesium and calcium can cause heart disease, osteoporosis and many other diseases.  

11. Excessive sugar in soft drinks causes your pancreas to produce an abundance of insulin, which leads to a “sugar crash”. Chronic elevation and depletion of sugar and insulin can lead to diabetes and other imbalance related diseases. This particularly affects growing children and it can set the stage for life-long health problems.

12. Soft drink companies specifically aim to get more young customers - so much for corporate responsibility.

13. Soft drinks are highly addictive - trying to quit often cause withdrawal symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, anxiety, and nausea. Does that sound like someone trying to quite drugs?

14. Soft drinks commonly cause gastrointestinal distress including heightened acid levels in the stomach and moderate to severe gastric inflammation and possible stomach lining erosion

Answer 14

Depends on how much you drink, like everything else. One or two beers or glasses of wine is OK, twenty or thirty every day is bad. Coke is the same. It has corn syrup, caffeine, caramel, sugar, and who knows what else and in what proportions because the formula is secret.

Answer 15

there was a story about it on the Today Show this morning.. check it out.

It's safe in small quantities. If you drink lots it will rot your guts!

Answer 17

safeeeeeeee!!!

Answer 18

not safe

look up the dangers of corn syrup

Answer 19

Coke diet or not contains (in fact all soft drinks) Carbonic Acid and sugar (in the regular types) so regardless the coke will always do you harm especially when it comes to the health of your teeth.

Acid is the enemy of enamel (the coating of your teeth) and since coke contains both Carbonic Acid and sugar (in some cases) they eat your teeth at twice the rate since plaque, the bacteria, love feeding off sugar and thrive in this medium.Therefor as a bi product they produce acid (basically their waste, like our urine is acidic)and the acid dissolves the outer protection of our teeth, in turn Cavities are the consequence.
