Try this and you will know what it can do to your internal organs. Take a fully rusted Iron nail or Bolt put it in a glass jar and immerse it in Coca cola and cover up the jar and leave it there for 24 hours, check it out.
There won't be any rust on the Nail :-)
A friend did it in front of me much to my amazement.
I leave you to derive your own conclusions.
Take care and God Bless !

It's true, confirmed by multiple sources. They are still studying exactly how it works. Cola contains caffeine which has already been linked to osteoporosis so that may be a factor but non-caffeinated cola also had an effect. They think it may be because colas also include phosphoric acid which affects calcium absorption but it needs more research.

Women who want to keep their bones strong may want to keep their cola consumption to a minimum, a new study suggests.
In a study of more than 2,500 adults, Dr. Katherine L. Tucker of Tufts University in Boston and colleagues found that women who consumed cola daily had lower bone mineral density, or BMD, in their hips than those who drank less than one serving of cola a month.
"Because BMD is strongly linked with fracture risk, and because cola is a popular beverage, this is of considerable public health importance," the authors write in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Studies in teen girls have tied heavy soft drink consumption to fractures and lower BMD, the researchers note, but it is not clear whether this is because they're drinking less milk, or if it is due to any harmful effects of soda itself.
To investigate this question in adults, the researchers measured BMD in the spine and at three points on the hips in 1,413 women and 1,125 men participating in a study of the bone-thinning disease osteoporosis.

Not too sure, but I would guess that the acids attack calcium, as most acids do.
