Coke actually does have a lot of harmful ingredients in them....if you drink them everyday at every chance available without any type of drink other than Coke.
As with most things in life, moderation is key. There are a lot of chemicals in Coke which the human body did not originally have the right resources to battle. Drink milk sometimes, and drink water a lot.

Cola drinks have 3 ingredients that possibly be harmful to health:
1. Sweeteners. Sugar in soft drinks (including non-cola drinks) increases the possibility of dental caries ("cavities"). Non-nutritive sweeteners such as saccharin and aspartame also have undesirable side-effects in specific population segments. Nutritive sweeteners are a significant source of calories in the diet (about 250 per serving of a soft drink).
2. Caffein. This "upper" is added specifically to cola drinks as a class. It is a diuretic and can elevate blood pressure. It has been suggested as connected to development of rheumatoid arthritis.
3. Phosphoric acid. This acid is typically only used in cola drinks, which are very acidic (low pH) compared to other soft drinks. This can increase the rate of enamel loss from teeth. Phosphates in general are a nutritional problem when ingested in volume without corresponding calcium. This results in decalcification of bone tissue, accelerating osteoporosis
in the aged.

the vast majority of rumors about the Coca-Cola company are sheer fantasy at best and malicious lies at worst. in short, it's complete hogwash and lies. www.snopes.com, an extremely reliable and reputable website devoted to debunking lies, myths, and half-truths has dedicated an entire section to the cockamamie stories made up about Coca-Cola. follow the link i've sourced and you'll see substantiated evidence as opposed to all the hippie b.s. opinions. Snopes.com has gone through the trouble of *researching* these wild claims by using third-party, independent and reliable sources.
notice how nobody claiming these rumors are true have any sort of evidence to support their claims?
and no, boyfriends/teachers/best friends/spiritual guides/hippie propaganda are not reliable sources.

i come across it hilarious that each person who can form is retarded-adequate to imagine the very actuality there became an attack is why each person would pick Obama to step-down. listed lower than are helpful houses OBAMA AND CLINTON informed us about, none of that are you able to save on with to ANY "attacks lower than Bush." > Obama ILLEGALLY (in accordance to his personal attorneys) stepped-in to provide a branch of AL-QAEDA administration of Libya, putting the ability into enemy territory. > Obama singled-out that facility - in enemy territory - to be the LEAST secure U.S. diplomatic facility everywhere contained in the international. > AFTER it became attacked, he decreased safe practices even extra. > Upon VERY certain caution about THIS attack, he refused to strengthen safe practices. > in this attack, he ordered the attack no longer be interrupted. > AFTER the attack he tried to circumvent the attackers being observed. I keep in mind that because the STATE branch AND THE WHITE abode suggested all of those issues, you surely believe FOX made it up. i will no longer help you such as your pathology.

The Coca-Cola Company has been criticized for the allegedly adverse health effects of its flagship product. However, a common criticism of Coke based on its allegedly toxic acidity levels has been found to be baseless by most researchers; lawsuits based on these criticisms have been dismissed by several American courts for this reason.
Most nutritionists advise that Coca-Cola and other soft drinks can be harmful if consumed excessively, particularly to young children whose soft drink consumption competes with, rather than complements, a balanced diet. Studies have shown that regular soft drink users have a lower intake of calcium (which can contribute to osteoporosis), magnesium, ascorbic acid, riboflavin, and vitamin A.[27] The drink has also aroused criticism for its use of caffeine, an addictive substance.[28]
Although numerous court cases have been filed against The Coca-Cola Company since the 1920s, alleging that the acidity of the drink is dangerous, no evidence corroborating this claim has been found. In some of these cases, evidence has been presented that claimed Coca-Cola is no more harmful than comparable soft drinks or acidic fruit juices like apple juice.[citation needed] Under normal conditions, scientific evidence indicates Coca-Cola's acidity causes no immediate harm.[29]
Like most other colas, Coca-Cola contains phosphoric acid. One study has shown that this hastens bone loss, contributing to illnesses such as osteoporosis.[30]
There is also some concern regarding the usage of high fructose corn syrup in the production of Coca-Cola. Since 1985 in the U.S., Coke has been made with high fructose corn syrup, instead of sugar glucose or fructose, to reduce costs. This has come under criticism because of concerns that the corn used to produce corn syrup may come from genetically altered plants.[31] Some nutritionists also caution against consumption of high fructose corn syrup because of possible links to obesity and diabetes.[32]
In India, there exists a major controversy concerning pesticides and other harmful chemicals in bottled products including Coca-Cola. In 2003, the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), a non-governmental organization in New Delhi, said aerated waters produced by soft drinks manufacturers in India, including multinational giants PepsiCo and Coca-Cola, contained toxins including lindane, DDT, malathion and chlorpyrifos — pesticides that can contribute to cancer and a breakdown of the immune system. Tested products included Coke, Pepsi, and several other soft drinks, many produced by The Coca-Cola Company. CSE found that the Indian produced Pepsi's soft drink products had 36 times the level of pesticide residues permitted under European Union regulations; Coca-Cola's soft drink was found to have 30 times the permitted amount. CSE said it had tested the same products sold in the US and found no such residues.[33] After the pesticide allegations were made in 2003, Coca-Cola sales declined by 15%. In 2004, an Indian parliamentary committee backed up CSE's findings, and a government-appointed committee was tasked with developing the world's first pesticide standards for soft drinks. The Coca-Cola Company has responded that its plants filter water to remove potential contaminants and that its products are tested for pesticides and must meet minimum health standards before they are distributed.[34] In the Indian state of Kerala, sale and production of Coca-Cola, along with other soft drinks, has been banned.[35] Five other Indian states have announced partial bans on the drinks in schools, colleges and hospitals.[36] On Friday, September 22, 2006, the High Court in Kerala overturned the Kerala ban ruling that only the federal government can ban food products.[37]
In 2006, the United States Food and Drug Administration responded to reports that the carcinogen benzene was present in unhealthy levels in certain soft drinks by conducting a survey of more than 100 soft drinks and other beverages. Based on this limited survey, the FDA stated that it "believes that the results indicate that benzene levels are not a safety concern for consumers."
