Coke eating away at my stomach?

Coke has acid in it but your stomach also has acid in it so I don't think Coke erodes your stomach lining to any extreme. I've been drinking Coke for years...sometimes mixed with Jack Daniels which I'm SURE isn't so good for your stomach lining either.

I used to drink gallons of the stuff! I just love coke and I cannot get away from that. I'm not sure though that it does damage to your stomach lining. I sure don't feel anything in that region! On a really hot day coke is just the perfect remedy for quenching your thirst! I used to go for the kingsize bottles and then I resorted to the small cans. I don't like pepsi much, I think that coke definitely does it for me. Anway, now that summer is slowly disappearing I won't be drinking so much. Keep drinking coke!!Andrew

Yup, we've been hearing a lot about this - it wears away our teeth, making it weak; or increases our sugar level, and now eats away our stomach lining! But I'm not going to stop drinking Coke (or Pepsi) - it's one of my favourite thirst-quenchers !

The part about eating away at your stomach lining sounds like BS. I would be more concerned about the amount of sugar it contains and the acid isn't good for teeth.

*also raises both hands* though I do it in moderation, and always complement it with a more or less healthy diet.

i drink a lot of coke but i guess its not true that it eats aways our stomach lining. For sure you'll get acidic or an ulcer if you drink a lot with an empty stomach.
