You know...Coca Cola...isn't that bad if you look at the ingredients

[Valiea]

Water is bad for you in excessive amounts too. Coca-Cola is delicious. Stop hating everyone who says 400cal is bad in 1 bottle. Who drinks the entire bottle in either A. 1 sitting or B. 1 day? Crazy people who can't control moderation

Yeah I suppose if you place something in a context with worse things - it's not as bad as those things, but that hardly makes it alright for you to consume.

[Elegiac]

This is the truth. If you care about your body, you care about what you put into it. Coke is chemicals. It's really not good for you. Everything in moderation and all that but there is nothing positive about it so stop trying to see it from a health perspective because the angle simply isn't there. I used to work at Coca Cola and there was a testing department and guess what.. I saw the ambulance a few times taking people out. I'm not kidding.

Better watch out for that one chemical, dihydrogen monoxide. It's really bad; breathing it results in death.

Hey me too, the only thing that bothers me is that im constantly hungry.

I just eat Chipotle for an early lunch. It gets burned off on the bike commute home anyway.

You know, for water to be bad for you, you have to consume a ridiculous amount.

Gross! Eh, I can't cast stones. I put chocolate syrup on my french fries occasionally.

You are just making it out to be the devil now.

Moderation in everything is required, that's why I have only a glass once in a while.

But come your 'stories' don't mean jack all, I mean really? It is called testing for a reason. Those people signed up for it, we enjoy the final safe product.

For the record, I drink a TON of Coke

But

In the Military we ran an experiment. We'd heard that you could take Coca Cola syrup, as in not yet carbonated, and strip off coats of wax on a floor.

It worked

To me, that says something about the product...

I still drink it though, it's delicious

Oh I will consume and there is nothing to make right.

It is made for consumption.
Yes, in moderation, I don't have anything to prove or be responsible for, I am merely pointing something positive out.

That's because it contains phosphoric acid. Kind of like how lemons contain citric acid.

DUDE! Burrito with White Rice, Chicken, Hot Salsa and Cheese. Shit is baller and still has less calories than a Subway footlong.

I despise Mexican food. It always gives me indigestion for some reason; and this coming from a person that lived in India for four years.

There are 240 calories in a 20 Oz Coke. So that's only 2 cans of coke, and I know people drink that much in a day...

It's not *that* Mexican.

Go you! I don't mind if you ruin your body with the things you consume. I only draw the line if you try and ruin mine in the process.

[Elegiac]

There are 275 calories in a 20 Oz Coke. So that's only 2 cans of coke, and I know people drink that much in a day...

Calories schmalories. It's the source of calories that matters, not the intake.

Heck if i drink 1l of cola i will be jumping on wc every 5 min. (no idea what they put in my contry cola)

[Fahrenheit]

If you care even a little about your future health when you're in your 40 or 50s you'd never touch the stuff... Or if you did, use it as a once in a while treat, not a daily drink.

It's like the golden ticket to diabetes.

[Haros]

As with everything, it depends on how much you consume.
