I'm not knocking anyone here for drinking this stuff as I used to drink it in my ignorant days and often had various illnesses that I thought were normal. I'm just trying to point you to the facts. If you still want to drink it, more power to you. The medical industry will love you for it.

As for the acid in them, it's silly, the acid in your stomach is stronger than the acid in soda!
Uhmmm, not really. Who's being silly now? Did you do the research? Check out
this link by a fourth grader for more info.
The reason I did this project is to see what pop might do to your
stomach. I found out that you should not drink pop on an empty
stomach, especially Coke, because it is acidic and could give you an ulcer or a really bad stomach ache.
Phosphoric Acid, one of the ingredients in Coke and Pepsi has a pH of 2.8 and CAN dissolve a nail in about 4 days in it's pure form. Sure, it is diluted, but drinking it on an empty stomach or many a day and you are in trouble not to mention the massive amounts of sugar which is addicting and does nothing but harm to your body. Over do it and your immune system cannot overcome it and disease sets in.

So how do I vote. I am drinking a diet Pepsi in a 12oz bottle as a write this!
Then sadly you are slowly killing yourself and opening yourself up to many of the common diseases today.
Diet Drinks?!?!?! Aspertame, or whatever they are calling it today (it used to called saccharin) is a deadly neurotoxin that was mistakingly discovered when scientists working on the US Air Force's biological weapons mistakingly tasted it and discovered that it was sweet. It was originally a biological weapon designed to mess up your brain. Today, it is used in diluted forms as an artifical sweetener like
Equal and in soft drinks making millions of $ and making millions sick and killing them as it costs next to nothing to produce.
Don't believe me? Check out this
link from a former FDA (Food & Drug Administration) investigator or
this one listing what it does to the body with links to other investigations.
If you are drinking it stop now or face the consequences in your later lives. My brother died three years ago at the age of 48 of pancreatic cancer and he drank this stuff daily, my mom is suffering from diabetes and other ailments and she drank it daily also. Me? I haven't touched it in over 10 years and am in perfect health. I also stay away from all sugars and milk and eat little meat. Sure, I eat some things with sugar and enjoy the occassional hamburger and steak, but only like once a week and in moderation, but never milk!
When you have enough money and can line the pockets of the FDA and government officials for their re-election campaigns, you can get anything into the food chain. Just look at what is happening with the food from China and the government is still not doing anything about it.
Don't take my word for it. Research it for yourselves and if you still drink that poison then I hope you have good life insurance and a good medical plan.
I leave you with this:
COKE
1. In many states (in the USA) the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the trunk to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.
2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will be gone in two days.
3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.
4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.
5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.
6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.
7. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before the ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.
8. 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.

Coke or Pepsi or Dr. Pepper, etc. Pick your poison because that's exactly what it is.
