Coca Cola shops flood everywhere in our streets, campuses, offices and villages. The market dominance and popularity of Coca Cola's range of products is out of this world. But I am one person who eat food because of the nutrition value I stand to gain. I watch Coca Cola adverts and all I see is Refreshment Refreshment Refreshment. Unlike Malt drinks no nutrition facts are displayed on the bottle. What Vitamins (or other nutrients) do especially Coke and Sprite contain?

Found this on the net, hope it helps.

For those of u who love Coke/Pepsi, Just when you thought you knew
everything,

To clean a toilet :
Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl. Let the "real thing" sit for
one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from
vitreous china.

To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers :
Rub the bumper with a crumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminium foil
dipped in Coca-Cola.

To clean corrosion from car battery terminals :
Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.

To loosen a rusted bolt :
Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.

To bake a moist ham :
Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan; wrap the ham in aluminium
foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before the ham is finished, remove the foil,
allowing the rippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.

To remove grease from clothes :
Empty a can of Coke into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run
through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It
will also clean road haze from your windshield.

AND WE DRINK THIS STUFF ! ! !

The truth about Coke Pepsi and Others.

1, Look at the wrapper on a Coca-Cola 1.5 litre bottle and in the
ingredients you will find phosporic acid in it. Minute quantities of
ethylene glycol is also used (which is acknowledged in the soft drink world
for making it "really chill". This is popularly known as anti-freeze which
prevents water from freezing at 0 deg C and instead drops it by 4-5 degrees
with minute quantities. This chemical is a known slow poison in the caliber
of arsenic.

So, if you manage to drink about 4 litres of Coke within an hour or so, you
can die.

2, Guess what's the pH for soft drinks, e.g. Coke? pH 3.4! This acidity is
strong enough to dissolve teeth and bones! Our human body stops building
bones at the age of about 30. After that it'll be dissolving about 8-18% of
the bones each year through the urine depending on the acidity of the food
intake (acidity does not depend on the taste of the food, but on the ratio
of potassium / calcium / magnesium / etc. to phosphorus).

All the dissolved calcium compounds accumulate in the arteries, veins, skin
tissue, organs. This affects the functioning of the kidney (kidney stones).

3. Soft drinks do not have any nutrition value (in terms of vitamins &
minerals). It is high in sugar content, carbonic acid,chemicals
i.e.colorings etc. Some like to take cold soft drinks after each meal.Guess
what's the impact? Our body needs an optimum temperature of 37degrees
Celsius for digestive-enzyme functioning. The temperature of cold soft
drinks is very much below 37 degrees or even close to 0 degrees Celsius.
This will dilute the enzymes & stress the digestive system.The food taken
will not be digested. In fact it will be fermented! The fermented food
produces gases, decays and becomes toxin, gets absorbod by the intestine,
circulates in the blood stream and is carried to the whole body. Hence toxin
is accumulated in other parts of the body, developing into various diseases.

4. Think before you drink Coke/Pepsi (or any soft drink)again. Have you ever
thought what you drink when you drink an aerated drink? You gulp down
carbondioxide, when nobody in the world would advise you to drink CO2. Think
before you drink Coke/Pepsi (or any soft drink) again.

5. Two months back, there was a competition at Kent State University-"Who could
drink the most Coke?" The winner drank 8 bottles and fainted on the spot --
too much CO2 in the blood. Thereafter, the principal banned all soft drinks
from the college canteen ! While this might have been an extreme measure,the
results do provide some food for thought.

Did you know that soft drinks use chemicals in them that cause immense harm
to you. Someone put a broken tooth in a bottle of Pepsi and in 10 days it
DISSOLVED! Can you believe it? Teeth and bones are the only human parts that
stay intact for years after death. Imagine what the drink must be doing to
your soft intestines and stomach lining!

Brown-eyes, thanks a million. I'll print this for my sister to read. She is in the habit of gulping a bottle of coke/7up after every meal.
