What has a higher acidity level, coke or coffee?
I know that coffee has more caffeine than coke, but I'd like to know what the acidity levels for each drink are, as accurately as possible, please:)
Answers:
Most soft drinks weigh in with a pH level between 2.0-4.0, so 3.4 is a fair estimate for Coke.
coffee (pH 6.9)
Coke has more, as to exact content. Don't know, don't care. I have other things that seem more important, somehow.

On a health level I would not touch Coke with a ten foot pull. People literally use Coke to eat the corrosion off the batteries in cars. "Coca-Cola contains phosphoric acid. One study has shown that this hastens bone loss, contributing to illnesses such as osteoporosis."
Each can of coke has 16 teaspoons of sugar. Imagine putting 16 teaspoons of sugar in your coffee or anything for that matter. People would think you are crazy if they saw you doing that. Do yourself a favor and just stay away. Its only a few steps away from asking yourself just how bad rat poison is for you. Do you really need to know the particulars? Your intuition knows better.
Fresh squeeze yourself some juice that's much better for you. The concentrates have about as much sugar as a coke plus they have been pasteurized which cooks all the nutrients out of them. That's why most juice concentrates have nutrients added because the originals have already been destroyed.
Unfortunately one must arm oneself with knowledge just to eat right in this world because most choices presented to you are highly processed. It was not always this way, but what can you do but adapt.
Best of wishes on your Path to Find optimum Health

I would say coffee, because you can get some nasty acid reflux from coffee.
