STOP!

I've noticed that since stopping, even my teeth don't bleed half as much as they used to, and they generally are a lot cleaner.

As an initial part of a health treatment in April of this year, I had to swear off all sweet things for three weeks - Coca-Cola included. I wasn't even allowed to have sugar in my tea. The doctor said that each can of conventional Coke contains seven teaspoons of sugar. Yikes!!

I was never addicted to Coke, but I did enjoy its silky, smooth aftertaste. Now I can't even tolerate the sugar content of 7up, never mind Coke. Mind you, the condition of my skin and stomach is maaaaaaach better now.

(And tea with sugar now just tastes bleuch!)

Used to drink alot of ths stuff, esp just before going to bed (otherwise the cravings would keep me awake). But I've found a way around it. Apple juice. Drink apple juice, and the cravings dissappear. Even Tesco apple juice!

Coca-Cola will not dissolve a tooth (or a nail, or a penny, or a piece of meat) overnight.


Coca-Cola contains acids (such as citric acid and phosphoric acid) which will eventually dissolve items such as teeth (given enough time), but so do plenty of other substances we commonly ingest (such as orange juice). The concentration of acid in these products is so low that our digestive systems are easily capable of coping with it with no harm to us.

The idea that any substance which can dissolve teeth must therefore damage our teeth if we drink it is nonsensical. We don't hold drinks in our mouths for days at a time — any liquids we drink simply wash over our teeth very briefly, and our teeth are further protected by their enamel coating and the ameliorating effects of saliva.

Who to believe?

No I think it tastes better from the bottle,

anyone here ever taste Coca-Cola Classic? Nicer or Worse than the European stuff? I think it is worse than our own Coke however when I bought it in america it came in 590ml bottles, yes and extra 90mls for nothing

Coke tastes different in certain parts of the world, I assume its something to do with the local water r summat. My local shop often has slightly odd shaped bottles of coke with arabic writing on it,it doesnt taste anywhere near as nice as stuff bottles here.

When i did drink the stuff, i found machine coke to be the best, with lots of ice. Most cinemas use machine coke.

PS: Look on the internet, its a well know fact at this point .

It would be different, doesnt need to be a "well know fact" . Its mixd on site and most places are to lazy to check the calbration is right, so you always have either too much or too little syrup.

Got another mac fact , could start a whole thread on these .
Macdonalds use more potatoe in the milkshakes than they do in there fries :eek:

You already said that about 3 posts up. I have 2 potatoes, the bigger one has more potatoe in it, whats your point.
BTW I tried mixing pig fat,potatoe, milk, sugar and vanilla and it doesnt taste like a milkshake :rolleyes:

Oh and its not a fact unless you have proof. Just cos you said it doesnt maje it fact.

I am a slave to diet cherry coke. And my latest kick is Jarrito's mexican soda. Liquid sugar!

Stekelly, in denial??
If u look at the last page u will see i posted a site about the mac facts. Both products are made from potatoe starch and there is more in a milkshake than in a fry.
Snopes, i had a 10min convo with my dentist on this topic last week and he confirmed that the enamel on our teeth doesnt stand a chance against coke. He said if u drank enough coke within a year the enamel on most of your teeth would become very brittle. The coke does not just wash over out teeth and then its happy days. Firstly the coke leaves acids in out salivia which attacks the teeth. It also leaves particles on the teeth which also attack them.
Coke will destroy your teeth!! People who drink coke are just like smokers, they try make themselves believe everything will be okay. Having smoked and being addicted to coke i can see this now.
