is coca-cola dangerous?

good question! well its not healthy and not harmful also...some contents can cause you problems in long term but its absolutely safe for youngsters!

CocaCola contains sugar, water, flavouring, caffeine and phosphoric acid. Phosphoric acid is the acid used to etch glass (perhaps you know those decorative glass screens and articles with the pattern etched into them) so you can imagine what it might do to the enamel of our teeth, even though there is only a very small quantity in it and, admittedly, it doesn't seem to etch the inside of the glass bottle. Actually, it is the sugar in Coke which does most harm to our teeth and our diet, so it ought to be true that drinking diet Coke is better for you. Unfortunately, the artificial sweeteners in diet Coke are beginning to cause concern. The truth is that we know nothing about the long term effects of aspartame and other sweeteners (saccharin is no longer used because it has been shown that it is a carcinogen). It is certainly healthy to drink liquids but that is because our bodies need the water to function properly (about 3 litres a day is the recommended amount, depending on the temperature and our activity level), so why not just drink water? The sugar, the caffeine and the flavourings are simply luxuries which we do not need (and pay through the nose for!)

lot of people said that coca cola is dangerous for health but i dont think so. Perhaps if you drink a lot , but if you drink normally. I was addicted to coca cola some time ago but not i dont drink it anymore :P

Yes, it is indeed dangerous especially if you are taking it more often. It has sugar and acid that can cause harm in your body if it (sugar) increases gradually.

hi 920212,I think nothing drinks are harmful if we only drink a little amount.It is harmful only if we drink to much.The best way is to drink moderately specially in this time of summer.Have a nice day.

i dont really think coca-cola is all that bad for your health. the amount of sugar in soda is quite abit which everyone should watch out for and should avoid too much of. also too much carbon wouldnt be very healthy for the body. so it really depends on how much and how often you drink it.

even i heard from many people but i dont beleive on that.

Dear 920212, In my opinion, if we always drinks it, it's not so good for our body.

there are a lot of sugars in it. so it's not good for health. including your teeth. don't always drink it.
