it's got lotsa sugar, so in a way it's bad for you, unless you're a type of 'sugar rush' person
other than that its a bit gassy but it does provide calories of energy but nothing else...
so it's not that good, but it isn't so bad either...just don't take it so foten ok, three cans a day seems excessive...

yes. they add artificial sweeteners and caffeine to it and when u drink it your body doesn't recognize it too well which could mean illness or tiredness. also tons of carbs and sugar not to mention colorings. but once in a while it is ok but not 3 times a day.
1 time a day is even bad. also dont drink diet coke. even though it says 0 calories and no sugar it is wrong. they add splenda to it which tastes like sugar but its sooo much more worse for u. it can cause cancer.
so if u have the need for soda try mixing juice with sparkling water. or there are organic sodas (believe it or not) like the 365 brand. which are available at whole foods.

Yes. I did my thesis on it's effects. I gave a rabbit coke every day and studied the effects on its bones. I took x-rays and saw that the rabbits bones where more translucent and he had more fat than the rabbit that didn't take the coke. He also didn't grow as much.
The phosphoric acid in soft drinks doesn't let your body absorb calcium and doesn't allow you body to use the calcium you already have stored.

No, just remember that moderation is the key to drinking and eating. It sounds like a cliche from a grandmother. But it's true.

Yeah, if you drink too much then it is said to be bad for your health because it has a lot of calories and carbs. But if you do some exercise, then that would help too!

All soda is garbage,there are no healthful benefits to it whatsoever.I work for another top soda company and I know what's in it.The concentrate that is used to make it is caustic and highly flammable.If I continue I could get you to stop drinking it or I could get fired.So I'll stop here,but yes soda is bad for you.

The caffeine might be a bit much and cause you to have trouble sleeping. The sugar is bad on your teeth, but other than that, I don't see it being any worse than coffee.

They say if you stop drinking pop you can lose up to a pound a week if not more even, plus it can really take a toll on your caffine freezzys!

Do not drink such products as they increase carbon dioxide in your body and excessive drinking may lead to hypoxia, beside decreasing bones thickness and increasing dental cares occurance. :-(

Coca-Cola and other softdrinks can be less than healthy if consumed excessively. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coca-Cola#Criticism_of_Coca-Cola
