Is the phosphoric acid in Coke a health hazard?!


Question: Is the phosphoric acid in Coke a health hazard?
Answers:

I wouldn't imagine Coca Cola would be allowed to use it if it was. But I don't think it's particularly good for you. It's great for cleaning toilets, and will clean a copper coin if you leave it over night. It will also dissolve teeth after a while. So probably best not to drink too much



phosphoric acid in soda causes tooth enamel erosion, even with minimal exposure. While some consumers may believe that sugar is the only culprit of soda's adverse effects on dental health, enamel erosion occurs whether the soda is sweetened with sugar or artificial sweeteners.



I've been drinking coke all my life and nothing is wrong with me.



It is best to avoid drinking too much in one day.
