Is this true of Coke or scaremongering?

If that worries you then stop drinking orange juice (or if you never did don't start...)

When my cousin had his wisdom teeth out, his dentist told him to put his tooth in a glass of coke for a few days and see what happens. I guess it turned all dark brown and was corroded. I guess that's what it does to your teeth...

I used Cherry Coke when roasting ham. It's really nice.

Perhaps the coca-cola myths are very old. Pre-1903 Coke contained cocaine and was sold as a tonic... one look at daniella westbooks nose confirms the t-bone steak theory

lmao

Any acid will do that. Do you often walk around holding Coke in your mouth for days at a time? Besides the fact that the saliva in your mouth would dilute the acid in the Coke anyway... You drink soda it touches your teeth for a few seconds and it's gone. No harm, particularly if you brush your teeth on a normal basis.

All what salt? There's less sodium in coke than there is in regular tap water.

If it's 'be anal about everything day' then that really depends on where you live. The salt in coke isn't at a dangerous level but they do add some so what does that tell you? They're definitely not trying to quench your thirst.

Salt is essential in quenching your thirst actually...

It's scaremongering. Plain and simple.

Thank you. I had visions of my children's insides disintegrating :laugh:

Look up stomach acid.

Just sayin'.
