Question

i know it sounds dumb but a guy at work told me they were trying to ban coke as it has a Ph level of 3 and battery acid is Ph1

Answer 1

Coca-Cola per say is not worse than any other type of cola, like Pepsi, or generic brands. It's also not that much worse than root beer, or other candy like soft drinks. I say it's like candy because colas are full of sugar. Diet colas are also not very good for you due to their Aspartame content although they are probably better than regular colas.

Sugar is a significant ingredient that will harm you. Massive amounts of sugar in anything will cause bodily harm. Aside from bringing on Diabetes, excess amounts of sugar will increase your body weight, which makes your body work harder just to function daily. This added stress is hard on most of your organs.


Colas also contain ethylene glycol, which is used in anti-freeze. Ethylene glycol is a slow poison, it won't kill you if you have it in small quantities but it will kill you in large quantities. That doesn't mean the small quantities are totally harmless however, your body has to work hard to protect itself from various poisons, and these battles often leave scars. The more scars on any given organ, the weaker it is and the less likely it is to function in old age.


The last major reason cola's are bad for you is the extremely high acidity. The pH for colas is around 3.4, strong enough to dissolve teeth and bones. The acid is also due to high mineral contents, and guys, high mineral intake can lead to kidney stones. Not to mention that the high acid level is the main cause of tooth decay. That's right it's not the sugar in coke that will cause cavities it's the high acidity.

Answer 3

The LOWER the Ph, the more acidic something is.

You've been taken for a mug. Tell the guy at work that you'll drink a whole coke if he'll drink one little shot glass of battery acid. Then watch the fun!

Answer 4

No it is not. Coca cola is bad for your teeth but does not compare to what battery acid can do. It is a very common "fact" that is not a fact. like a dog's mouth is cleaner than a human's. It usually is but not always.

Answer 5

Water is PH seven. It gets more acidic on its way down. Battery acid being a is more acidic than Coke

BP

Answer 6

yeah, neutral is 7 on the PH scale so 3 is pretty powerful. ever leave a tooth in some coke overnight? it's seriously gross. put me off coke for life, I'd rather the batter acid.

Answer 7

Many common natural remedies are claimed to have blood sugar lowering properties that make them useful for people with or at high risk of diabetes. Learn here https://tr.im/ZA9Ml

A number of clinical studies have been carried out in recent years that show potential links between herbal therapies and improved blood glucose control, which has led to an increase in people with diabetes using these more 'natural' ingredients to help manage their condition.

Answer 8

What year battery acid? the 74 was quite good, with a nice bouquet, and a distinctive woody flavour

Answer 9

Coca Cola is very strong. A lot of policemen use it to clean up deadly accisents where there may have been blood on the road, its also used to clean some metals, but it still taste great to me.

Answer 10

Wouldn't surprise me.

My BF used to work in McDonalds and he said that at the end of the night they used to use Sprite to clean off the baked on grease from the fryers as it was more effective than the industrial cleaning agents.

Makes me shudder to think of putting that stuff in my stomach now!!
