What are the harms to our health of Coca-cola?!


Question: Caffiene is an addictive substance that can cause irregular heart rhythms - or just make it beat too fast. It is also a diuretic - it dehydrates the body. (Withdrawal symptoms are usually severe headaches.)

The sugar can cause blood sugar abnormalities and cavities. Sugar substitutes can cause anything from cancer to brain dysfuntions (some people even have seizures from using sugar substitutes).

The carbonation is harmful to the kidneys, and the coloring can stain the teeth - even with brushing (according to my dentist).

I'm not sure which substance causes this, but it can also weaken the bones - not so they'll break more easily, but bend.

Then there are the artificial flavors and colors that are added. These have been linked to everything from cancer to ADD or other learning difficulties.

caffeine, not to mention the acids in it, as with all sodas.

well caffeine is addictive so you can get addicted 2 coca cola.. it has alot of sodium and it makes us fat... also it can interfere with your energy it gives alot of energy like 4 a little while and then you feel really tired out of nowhere im not saying not to drink it.. soda is like beer u need to drink responsibly hope this answers ur question

Look at the ingredients, and it shouldnt be hard to figure out. It contains high fructose corn syrup, which is made from genetically modified corn (which means it has had the DNA of other unnatural things bred into it) It also contains caramel color, which is made with carmine-from crushed cochineal beatles (google carmine or red food color for more info) It also contains phosphoric acid, which is a common ingredient in household cleansers. Coke can and will rot both your teeth and your digestive system. It makes a GREAT toilet bowl cleaner, though. Just pour coke under and around the rim, brush and flush. Sparkling clean toilet. Its only useful purpose, as far as I am concerned

All the bad things listed by the other answers plus the huge amount of SUGAR!
