good for you .. $$$, but how would you handle kids who want to have their soft drink?? hey, Asterisk sorry.. must say Diet Coke also not so good because it contains aspartate (in place of sugar) and this shown to be carcinogenic: I think personally suggest you drink plain water, or coffee siu dai, or drink wine like elfin & me.. Cancer Worries For Diet Soda Drinkers A new study on the effects of low daily doses of the artificial sweetener aspartame shows a statistically significant increase in leukemia, lymphoma and breast cancer in rats. Consumer advocates are calling for the FDA to take another look at the safety of aspartame in light of the study |

hey Asterisk.. I have find the research on corrosive effects of different soft drinks: so save you the trouble of experimenting with your toilet bowl... here is the article: With all the bad news about Coke making people fat and generally being bad for you, finally some good news! Researchers at the University of Maryland did a little test by dropping teeth into 12 different beverages for 2 weeks to see what happens to enamel over roughly the period of a decade in your mouth. Surprisingly, Coke was the least harmful of all the drinks tested! Now, none of this crap is as good for you as simply drinking water, but check out the list to determine what is eating away at your teeth the fastest.
It?s kind of hard to believe that Snapple is actually 10 times WORSE for you than Coke? |

ha ha .. asterisk.. I think in that case no need lah.. just do one with coke... I think 100 plus is ok... btw.. personally I believe the bad effects of soft drinks is the high concentration of sugar in it and also the preservatives like phosporic acid & sodium benzoate... e.g do you know that a bottle of coke has six table spoons of sugar? |

singaporegal, The time that the coke is in contact with your teeth is probably insignificant to do any damage.....unless you habitually keep a mouthful in you mouth for hours before swallowing. Coke may even do your teeth some good by cleaning the plaque and tartar.....ha ha ha. But, don't take my word for it....check with your dentist. As for bones......there is not direct contact with bones and should not have any effect. Anyway, I think our gastric juices is probably more acidic than coke. Asterisk, Yes, I have heard that coke can be used to clear clogged drains in your sink. I remembered trying it but its not too effective. The commercial drain cleaners are better. Perhaps it (coke)may be useful as laxatives...he he he |

I found this post too... Have you ever wondered why Coke comes with a smile? It?s because it gets you high. They took the cocaine out almost a hundred years ago. You know why? It was redundant.
This will all be followed by a caffeine crash in the next few hours. (As little as two if you?re a smoker.) But, hey, have another Coke, it?ll make you feel better. |

ha ha Snoothie...it wasnt my idea... I did it at request of Datuk Baseer... but seriously folks, I must say that our stomach is actually quite well built to handle corrosive stuff... you see.. it actually produces hydrochloric acid to help in the digestion of proteins... however having said that I think the stories of coke acting on mouth, i.e teeth is true.. also what happens when it goes through the gullet... but seriously the one on sodium benzoate preservative needs some attention... hey Asterisk.. why not just try different carbonated drinks on your toilet and let us know the result... ? |

Been pimping the baddies about coke to all my friends for 2 3 yrs now...in fact its all carbonated drinks. Do a coke test... just leave it on the table overnight you'll notice ants aren't interested in it anymore. Oh yes, my mum always use the coke my bro buys to wash toilet....it works. |

singaporegal, It is probably true ...but exaggerated. The carbonated drinks, because of its acidity will react with iron (steel). Whilst it won't completely dissolve it after a while but the rod may show some signs of 'pitting' on its surface. Bear in mind that the reaction of the 'acid' with the iron will neutralise it. So, after the 'acid' is spent, the reaction will stop....i.e. the 'pitting' or corrosion of the metal will stop.......unless you keep refreshing the drink. |

Health hazards of food and beverages have been known since ages ago by the health-conscious 'health nuts'. But the masses love it, so the entrepreneurs simply provide them with it... In this world, the market is the only reality... |

I heard from someone (not sure if it is true) ... an experiment was done on soft drinks before. A metal rod was placed in a cup of soft drink. After a while, the metal rod dissolved.... !!! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
