Soda will rot your teeth at the gum line because of all the sugar.And the carbonated water will cause bloating in the abdominal area. |

It's been proven that the phosphoric acid in Coke thins out your bones and contributes to osteoporosis. |

They say that most people would meat their new years resolution of losing 5-10 pounds if they just cut out soda.
I quit, for the most part, by drinking club soda, which is just carbonated water. |

Coke has phosphoric acid in its base, which will rot your teeth. It's also full of sugar/high fructose corn syrup, which will make you fat. It also dehydrates you, and can irritate your kidneys.
Did you know that by drinking a 12 oz can of non-diet soda everyday you can gain 15 pounds a year?
Try drinking diet, then go off it completely. You're body will thank you! |

Too much sugar and caffeine in coke and pepsi, and many schools have banned them. Don't touch them for 6 months, and then have a swig and your body will tell you it doesn't want the stuff in your system. The same with coffee. Whether you stop is up to you. You would not have asked if you didn't already know the stuff can make you sicker. |

It contains a chemical called Phenanalynine, a known carcinogen. It's written sideways in small print on the backside of the can. |

Well, for one they're full of sugar that can contribute to dibetes, and for two the ADA (American Dental Associaton) has stated that liquids with high concentrations of sugar (like soda) are one of the worst things for your teeth b/c they coat your teeth with sugar, including in all the cracks and crevices that a solid wouldn't get in. |

JEEEZ!! Most of these things are urban myths!
Coke will NOT dissolve meat or "a rat" put in it. It is not used to clean blood after traffic accidents. It will not harm your stomach.
Mythbusters debunked most of these fables.
http://www.snopes.com/cokelore/cokelore.asp debunks the rest.
The worst thing about these sodas is that fact that they're "empty" calories. You get no additional nutrition other than the sugar. Otherwise, there is nothing inherently "bad" about them, despite the fables, folklore and myths people like to repeat. |

If you put a 1 inch cube of raw steak in a glass of Coke overnite, the acid in the Coke will make it disappear . Think what it can do to the lining of your stomach. |

It is depending on how much soda you drink in a day. I use to drink soda all the time when I was a little girl. My mom would buy the 3 liter Pepsi and have that in the fridge. I dranked that so much, I am surprised that my blood did not turn black or I have gotten diabetes!
But, as I got older, I started to drink more ice teas and fruit punches and lemonades, but, more ice teas and realize that I no longer had the urge to drink soda all the time. So, I drink about 1 12 ounce can a day. You can even drink just 8 if you wanted to.
I am not going to convince you to stop; I am going to try to convince to drink less of it. |

well, my dad likes to drink a lot of coke (the drink lol) and ill be happy to tell you some horrible things about it. first of all, its full of acid, which is very bad for your body. and the carbon dioxide bubbles are bad, too. Lots of sugar, and artificial chemicals, so you'll get fat, and it can become addicting. (did you know that a long time ago, they actually used cocaine in coca cola? and thats why it's named that? just a bit of trivia)
meanwhile, just like with smoking, try to replace it with something. when you're craving coke, drink milk or juice instead. try to go with only drinking a limited amount each week. it's sure to help. or make a chart in which for one week you drink a certain amount, then the next week a little less, and so on and so on until you're not allowed to have any. thatll help as well. |

Caffeine is a known kidney dehydrator. I have had to cut back from 1 liter a day to a 12oz. can every other week to avoid further kidney/gall bladder problems. I will be very lucky if I don't have my kidneys or gall bladder fail before I am 50-55 years of age. I use diet cola to clean the inside of my toliet bowl works better than the "specially formulated" stuff that is advertised on tv, the radio, and or the internet. |

Think about the calories. Wouldn't you rather eat your favorite food rather than drink a can of chemicals? |

Coke is made of carbonated water, high-fructose corn syrup, and kitten liver juice. Dr. Pepper is about the same, but has a healthy squeeze of goat eyeball drainage for that tangy aftertaste. |

I used to work for Coke and would pee in the vats daily. |
|
Why do you ask?
|
You can use Coke to clean crud off your battery cables.
Coke will clean rust out of a toilet. So think about what it is doing to your inside.
Dr Pepper fan would love to stop. |

Take a class of water and slowly add 15 teaspoons of sugar to it. That is how much sugar you are consuming with each soda.
For diet drinks, remember that the artificial sweetener has been known to cause cancer in laboratory animals. |
