So, is it so bad to drink Coke? What does it cause?

It's true!!!1!
Well it depends...leonel said:A tooth may dissolve in Cola but we don't go to sleep with a mouth full of soda do we?

Apparently if you brush up to 30 mins after drinking it, the Coke acts as an abrasive on your teeth and the brushing helps grind it in.![]()

Water is free in France?Masquerouge said:If you drink Coke in reasonable amounts, and have a good dental hygiene, you shouldn't have any problems.
But remember, there's that wonderful FREE drink called water that totally rocks.

El_Machinae said:Close - soda weakens your teeth for up to 90 minutes after you drink it - which means that if you brush your teeth in this time, you actually rub off some of the enamel. Which means you're permanently ruining your teeth. You're better off letting your enamel reharded for at least 90 minutes before brushing.
I really think that should be common knowledge, because it's not obvious, and it matters.
As well, drinking fructose drinks is hard on your liver and speeds the approach of adult onset diabetes (even if you're not becoming fat). It basically speeds your death and makes it more likely that you'll be fat when you're older (it's not the calories, it's the insulin exposure)
Finally, caffeine might start being bad for your heart in your mid thirties.
Diet coke is a different ball of wax because the Recommended Daily Allowance of Aspartame is not mentioned on the can, and because
Aspartame is potentially linked with cancer, even at low doses.
