i love coconut juice but it is so hard to find it here in the united states. Sodas or colas are really bad for your health because theirs alot of sodium in it. fruit juices are more healthy.

hi virashri_v 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 don't really like cola. i know sugar sweetened is not good, even they make a cola with out sugar that more problem and more sickness than cola with sugar. because cola without sugar need other substance to make it tasty. of course coconut is good. i like it and sometime my grandfather pluck it.
