Answers:
some of the major components of a can of Coke:
Phosphoric Acid: May interfere with the body's ability to use calcium, which can lead to osteoporosis or softening of the teeth and bones!. Phosphoric acid also neutralizes the hydrochloric acid in your stomach, which can interfere with digestion, making it difficult to utilize nutrients!.
Sugar: Soft drink manufacturers are the largest single user of refined sugar in the United States!. It is a proven fact that sugar increases insulin levels, which can lead to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes, weight gain, premature aging and many more negative side effects!. Most sodas include over 100 percent of the RDA of sugar!.
Aspartame: This chemical is used as a sugar substitute in diet soda!. There are over 92 different health side effects associated with aspartame consumption including brain tumors, birth defects, diabetes, emotional disorders and epilispsy/seizures!. Further, when aspartame is stored for long periods of time or kept in warm areas it changes to methanol, an alcohol that converts to formaldehyde and formic acid, which are known carcinogens!.
Caffeine: Caffeinated drinks cause jitters, insomnia, high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, elevated blood cholesterol levels, vitamin and mineral depletion, breast lumps, birth defects, and perhaps some forms of cancer!.
Tap Water: I recommend that everyone avoid drinking tap water because it can carry any number of chemicals including chlorine, trihalomethanes, lead, cadmium, and various organic pollutants!. Tap water is the main ingredient in bottled soft drinks!.
Soda is one of the main reasons, nutritionally speaking, why many people suffer health problems!. Aside from the negative effects of the soda itself, drinking a lot of soda is likely to leave you with little appetite for vegetables, protein and other food that your body needs!. If you are still drinking soda, stopping the habit is an easy way to improve your health!. Pure water is a much better choice!. If you must drink a carbonated beverage, try sparkling mineral water!.

1!. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid!. Its pH is 2!.8!. It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days!. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase in osteoporosis!.
2!. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the hazardous material place cards reserved for highly corrosive materials!.
3!. The distributors of coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Sodas are just empty calories!. You're ingesting a ton of calories and getting no benefit of vitamins, minerals, nutrients, fiber, etc!. If you're overweight, you should be concerned with this!. If you're not, and you just burn off the calories anyway, it's not a big deal!.
Then there's the caffeine, which is a drug that causes dependency!. Any drug that alters your body's chemistry is going to have some kind of effect in the long run (usually negative)!.
A liter a day doesn't seem too bad compared to what the hardcore soda and coffee drinkers will ingest!. But always remember, everything in moderation!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Lots of sugar in coke which is bad for your teeth!.
Lots of corn syurp, which is terrible for teeth
Lots of carbs (not really bad, provided you make up for it)
Lots of caffine which is good/bad, depends how and who you are!.
Caffine can be bad if you drink too much as it raising your heart rate!. Having a highrate without really making it work, is bad!.
The only 'perk' is the caffine rush, which you can get from tea or caffee!.
Edit:
to the guy with the long post, very good!.
But i disagree with the tap water!.
Tap water is just as safe as bottle watered!. Bottled water IS tap water just from another location!. That they 'clean'!.
Want your water clean!? Run it through a cheap filter from wal-mart, that is what the bottle companies do :)Www@FoodAQ@Com
