Warning About Consuming Soft Drinks

Soft drinks like Pepsi and Coke have gained popularity over the years.
Even now more boolywood stars are encouraging the consumer class of
India to drink an increasing amount of soft drinks. But we should be
forewarned about what they may really do to our body.

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
anti-freeze which prevents water from freezing at 0 deg C 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.

Guess what's the pH for soft drinks, e.g. Coke? PH 3.4! This acidity
is strong enough to dissolve teeth and bones! So this adds to the
softening of bones and tissue, which becomes a major issue as we get
older. Our human body stops building bones at the age of about 30.
After that it shall be dissolving the bones every year through the
urine depending on the acidity of the food intake. All the dissolved
calcium compounds get accumulated in the arteries, veins, skin, tissue
and organs, which affects the functioning of the kidney assisting in
formation of kidney stones.

Soft drinks also do not have any nutrition 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 blood stream and is carried to the whole
body. Hence toxins are 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 ingest 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!

Request to all: Forward this message to your friends to increase the
awareness of the great "Assumed soft drinks". Drink natural drinks
rather than those made of artificial chemicals and colorings. People
in India hesitate to pay Rs.7-8/- for a tender coconut but prefer to
pay Rs. 10/- or more and drink these dreadful products. Be careful.

How Coke and Pepsi are HELPFUL ?

To clean a toilet:
Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl. Wait for one hour, then
flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous
china.

To clean corrosion from car battery terminals :
Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the
corrosion.

To remove grease from clothes :
Pour a can of Coke into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and
run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola/Pepsi will help loosen
grease stains.

WE DRINK THIS STUFF !!!

OFF COURSE TO CLEAN OUR SYSTEM TOO. AFTER ALL WE ARE PAYING FOR IT.

Where did you get this information? Was it a comic book, the National
Enquirer, or The Onion newspaper?

most of it is factual (excepting the histrionics).
The part about the phosphoric acid and the tooth enamel is indeed
correct, and it has been so accepted in dental circles as to have supplanted
sugar as the big bad culprit in tooth decay
(the body has protections from sugar in the mouth - phosphoric acid
removes them)

FWIW, soft drinks are advertised based almost entirely using indirect
references to "fresh" and the "fresh-mouth-feel". So they need that cleaning
feel.
( I understand that older sodas had carbonic acid, not phosphoric. That
Ph was a less aggressive 5.5.)

The flushing of the mouth of all coatings to get that feeling is done by
using the more aggressive phosphoric acid.

Phosphoric is the same acid many dentists use to etch the enamel and the
underlying material of a cleaned cavity just before applying the adhesive to
hold a "white" filing in place.

BTW, drinking a bottle of carbonated beverage slowly, e.g, a drink every
few minutes, corrodes the teeth more than any other mode of intake.

But will it clean the scale out of my toilet better than C.L.R.

Definitely - it's base ingredient, phosphoric acid, is used to clean the
rust and scale off the surfaces of the air conditioning water-plates on the
chillers on the large buildings. Works pretty good, and better than just
about anything else.

However, CLR doesn't eat out the pipes in the sewer lines as badly.

Well you've convinced me.

I'm gonna go grab a can of Pepsi and pour it into the toilet.

I'll let the group know later on if it works.

Yep, very watered down acid in coke. Probably won't work with the extra
dilution called for in this use.

Apparently there are no "Mythbusters" viewers here...the guys
on that show (Jamie & Adam) already did an episode in
which the supposed nasty properties of Coke were put to the
test. The abbreviated form of the bottom line - nothing. It
didn't dissolve teeth or bones, it wasn't a particularly good
cleaner, etc..

Saved in the nick of time.

There it was..... sitting beside me - waiting.

Icy cold, waiting to be popped and sacrificed
into the toilet on the floor.

Ah well, I'll just have to have it with supper.

Pork stir fried with carrots on a Yorkshire pudding.

Yummy yum yum.

I don't know about any test by those two amateur clowns, but if it's like
many of their schemes I have seen, don't bet the house on their results.
Mostly visuals, little science.

I used diet pepsi to clear a red-rusted frozen vise-grip just last fall.
24 hours in the soda, covered, and the rust was pretty much gone.
My son was intrigued/amazed, and the vise grip is working like new.

His high school science class had had a chicken bone in coke and it dissolve
the minerals, and "it turned to rubber" as he said (collagen remained).

So if those two couldn't get it to work, they could call a high school
science teacher and ask for directions. Or they mioght even do a
calculation on the ph and volume, and check ph before and after their test
to see if they ran out of solute before visual results were acheived.

How can you call something a 'base ingredient' that is about 0.20 to 0.30
per cent of the total formula? Exactly how does such a tiny concentration
make it a base ingredient? And do you know how powerful gastric acid is?

Yes, that was exactly my point. So is the Coca-cola story.
