Forbidden coke

Wow. What kind of adverse effects are Coca-Cola products having on Bulgarian children? I live in the U.S. and some of the school districts in California (where I live) stopped selling soda because of the high sugar content but I think that was more of a result of the obesity problem that our children are facing in this country.

I think this law is good. Students and all other people should not drink coke every day, and it especially shouldn't be available to them in schools. Coke contains too much sugar and caffeine and is not healthy at all. Students should learn to drink water, or if they want something with a flavor, maybe juice wouldn't be a bad idea. If you make it possible for them to buy coke, they will, because its flavor is really good, but it's not healthy at all so I think this law is the best way to stop at least a few people from buying coke.

hi enyniya I feel that this law is in the interest of the student-it is good for them.Any soft drink(soda),whether it is Coke or Pepsi or some other soft drink is the most acidic beverage you can buy, with a pH of about 2.5, about the same as vinegar.Acid oxidizes whatever it comes in contact with.If you put soda or vinegar on metal, it will rust it quickly-so you can imagine the devastating effect it can have inside our body. Soft drinks also contain high levels of phosphorous,which leaches out calcium from your bones.Thus increased soft drink consumption is a major factor that contributes to osteoporosis.Tooth loss, periodontal disease, and gingivitis can be problems, especially with a high phosphorus intake, particularly from soft drinks. Besides weak bones, weakened immune system and dissolving teeth,consumption of soft drinks also leads to weight gain,obesity and resulting diseases and disorders. Diet sodas are no better-Aspartame,the sweetener that is used,can cause increased levels of Methanol in our body leading to an increased risk of Cancer.

i think the law is okay. kids shouldnt be drinking coke yet. in our school here in the Philippines, it is also banned. it is not healthy for kids.

No, it is not the same where I live, and I am not sure the idea is completely bad (the Bulgarian one, that is), there is some sense to it I think. But I am pretty sure I would not think that or be as understanding if I was a Bulgarian kid, so I see why they are annoyed!
