Coca-Cola is a cola drink, similar to others in this category!.
Cola drinks have 3 ingredients that possibly be harmful to health:
1!. Sweeteners!. Sugar in soft drinks (including non-cola drinks) increases
the possibility of dental caries ("cavities")!. Non-nutritive sweeteners
such as saccharin and aspartame also have undesirable side-effects in
specific population segments!. Nutritive sweeteners are a significant
source of calories in the diet (about 250 per serving of a soft drink)!.
2!. Caffein!. This "upper" is added specifically to cola drinks as a class!.
It is a diuretic and can elevate blood pressure!. It has been suggested as
connected to development of rheumatoid arthritis!.
3!. Phosphoric acid!. This acid is typically only used in cola drinks, which
are very acidic (low pH) compared to other soft drinks!. This can increase
the rate of enamel loss from teeth!. Phosphates in general are a
nutritional problem when ingested in volume without corresponding calcium!.
This results in decalcification of bone tissue, accelerating osteoporosis
in the aged!.
The example of Coke removing tarnish from a penny is irrelevant to health
issues!. Water and salt will cause iron to rust away, but they're both
essential to life!. Your stomach acid is much stronger than that in Coke!.
By the way, I've heard a microbiologist say he used to drink a Coke
quickly after accidentally sucking up diluent through a pipet!. He claimed
the Coke was protective against the bacteria!. I don't think I accept this
argument, but it shows the "flip-side" of the penny example!.
Here are my recommendations based on a rational assessment of the above:
1!. Soft drinks and coffee should be ingested in moderation!. Avoid more
than 4 servings a day!.
2!. If you are at risk for osteoporosis, avoid soft drinks with phosphoric
acid (e!.g!., colas)!.
3!. Drinking the diet form of soft drinks can eliminate 1000 calories or
more per day from the diet and will reduce the incidence of sugar-related
dental caries!.

Coca-cola was originally promoted as a drink "offering the virtues of coca without the vices of alcohol!." Until 1903, a typical serving contained 60mg of cocaine!. There is no cocaine in the current version of the drink, though another addictive substance, caffeine, is present!. And of course there is Coca-Cola's secret ingredient Merchandise 7X!.
As with all foods it is important to consume them in moderation!. The problem with the sweet and fizzy drinks such as Coke is that kids and adults are drinking too much of them!. The amount of sugars in a can of Coke is reportedly about 6-7 teaspoons per can, and that amount of calories would be equivalent to eating a sandwich, therefore sometimes doubling the energy content of a meal compared to having a drink of water instead!. Recent evidence is also overwhelmingly showing that over consumption of high sugar drinks such as Coke can lead to obesity and other health problems such as diabetes!.
Coke is a very large company and many people would be surprised at the amount of other food and drinks that the company also produce!. In addition to their hugely popular soda / soft drink, they also produce sports drinks that are well developed to provide the fluid, sugars and electrolytes that athletes require!.
The Coca Cola Company is also introducing a green tea drink containing calcium and caffeine that reportedly burns calories!. The drink is called 'Enviga' and the company reports that it has naturally active plant micronutrients that allegedly increase the body's rate of calorie burning in healthy people with a lean to normal body type!.
