phosphoric acid also leeeaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase of osteoporosis. Would you like a glass of coke, or a glass of ice cold bottle of water ?

Coke please,
I don't pour the cola on my bones, I pour it down my throat. Also since my stomach lining is not made of limestone it isn't eaten away.
There are a lot of things that are bad for us and if you took every one off our table then life would be very dull and boring. It would make dieting easier, but no one would get any joy out of a meal.
There is enough sorrow and pain in the world today without you having to take away the few joys I have. Yes, I know the dangers of eating and drinking some food so I limit my consumption. If you do the same thing then you will be able to drink and enjoy coke too.
(You forgot to mention the perils of caffeine addiction.)

How about a nice warm glass of hydrochloric acid ... oh, I mean gastric acid?
Sorry, but phosphoric acid does not retain it's chemical composition throughout the digestion cycle, nor do ingested H+ ions have an effect on the body's pH. It also doesn't leech Ca+ from the bones, as the study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition erroneously concluded.
Why not, instead of advocating AGAINST presumed poor nutritional habits using alarmist techniques and shoddy science, advocate FOR proper nutritional habits. There can be no substitution for a balanced diet of real food.
Just be sure to check your sources if you plan on trying to scare the public in the future, eh?

It really Depends on the time of day, and the temp. of both drinks.
But I would usually choose Coke.
Screw Phosphoric Acid. I dont drink 5 cans a day, unlike some people.

Ah, now I realize what I was doing wrong, thank you. I will be sure not to stick my teeth in phosphoric acid for four days next time.

If you would like to see what cola is and is not capable of doing, go to the Mythbusters website. They've done some pretty interesting testing.
