Is Coke harmful to health?

It can be if you start drinking Coke instead water. Coke also can take the calcium out of your bones, which makes them weak and easier to break.

YES!!!  Absolutely.  Diet Coke, unless it's "caffeine free," has just as much caffeine as regular Coke, and caffeine increases heart rate which can trigger and/or intensify anxiety.  My boyfriend used to suffer from anxiety attacks, and he found that caffeine could trigger them. \n\nHere's the math:  Soda generally contains between 10-50mg of caffeine per serving--  but if you're having 64 ounces (or 5 cans) per day and there are 2 servings per can, that's 100-500mg of caffeine, which is equivalent to about 2 cups of caffeinated coffee... That's a significant intake, even by itself!\n\nSo I would suggest, based on that, to cut back your intake of caffeine per day.  I recommend switching to "caffeine free" diet coke.

diet sodas have really really bad compounds in them like aspartame which can cause cancer and stuff like that. diet soda is diet cuz of its artificial sweeteners, which are much worse than consuming sugar. if you eat too much artificial sweeteners, they are really bad for you

aspartame is carcinogenic in large quantities (like most chemically-formulated foods). its also linked to neuro-muscular problems and headaches. personally, i won't touch the stuff. i'd rather be fat than dead.

I was ' addicted to coca cola' i decided i need to quit  and i did it in a weird way . From coke i switched to sprite then to Sparkling water in which i put lemon, and then i switched to plain water. Give it a try. You might find it easy to switch to sparking water and then after awhile to water.\nAlways keep in mind that sodas are so bad for you.Filled with sugar and chemicals that can give you anything from anxiety attacks to ulcer and diabetes\nBest of luck to you:)

Yes, look at the sodium intake. I used to drink coke, a lot. I stopped drinking coke and started drinking tea, sweetened with the real sugar, just not a whole lot of sugar. After a little time, I noticed I had lost a little weight. One more thing, a friend of mine went to a diet doctor, he told her to drink as much water, tea and cool aid as she wanted, just no sodas and to sweeten them with real sugar, just not too heavy.

Yes, soda strips your body of nutrients and this can cause many health problems.\nhttp://www.newstarget.com/004416.html

Cocaine is not at all equal to sugar.  One thing they do have in common is that snorting either of them is unhealthy for your body.

Actually coca-cola cleans better the metal, because contains phosporic acid a more stronger acid that the acids on the "natural" fruit juice.

Not only does diet coke make you fat, it also makes you sick because of the dangerous additives it contains.  Diet sodas are very toxic to our organs.\nThe chemicals put in all soda products are very addictive, which is only one of the reasons we crave them and have to keep drinking them.  They never satisfy our thirst.\nDo some research on it..the facts and truth are very scary.

Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi contain aspertame which can hinder your progress if you're trying to lose weight on a low carb diet.  They both also contain a lot of caffiene which can constrict blood vessels (not good!).  \n\nYou're probably much better off choosing another beverage with less preservatives and caffiene when it comes to your health.  Of course, if you drink them in moderation, I'm sure not much harm is done.

No, cocaine is made from the COCA plant. Coca, not cocoa.

Allegedly yes.\n\nRemember at the time cocaine was considered a valuable medicine. Coca-Cola contained it and was named after it.\n\nHere is a copy of the alleged ad: http://boards.marihemp.com/boards/politics/media/75/75533.jpg

no, youre thinking of pepsi\n\n\n\n\njk, this just a rumor that was probably started by some soccer mom so her kids wouldn't drink as much pop. there is no way coke would make holes in your brains, its carbonated sugar water.

Crack cocaine has additives galore. Sodium bicarbonate, and whatever other household additived they have added to it.Considering much of it has been boiled in a spoon with a small amount of cocaine you dont know what your getting.\n\nPure cocane is different, thats why its more expensive. It dosent mean its safer or less addictive.\n\nSo if your getting crack, your alreads stupid enough to be smoking a cocaine bi-product.
