What If You Only Drank Coca-Cola?

I drink a small can every day but I also drink tons of water every day. I know there is a lot of sugar in that little 7.5 oz can but I am 74 years old and its one of the few pleasures I have left. If thats all I drank then it would be a problem. Between the water and milk I drink that little can means nothing.

Researchers have found that a regular intake and diet of sugary drinks and fatty foods greatly increases ones risk of developing pancreatic cancer.
 
Pharmacists used to sell pure coke syrup for upset stomachs. Probably no sugar. Recall it was 45 cents for a small bottle in the 1950s.

At the other extreme, teenagers in the 'hood who were fortunate to have "hot rods" used coca-cola to remove grease from their engines. Not sure how it was applied except they revved up to first build up heat.

I remember doing an experiment tin elementary school, where we filled a glass with Coca-Cola and set a building nail inside.

It's been way too many years for me to remember how long it took, but the Coca-Cola dissolved the nail, not entirely, but it sure did break it down and it didn't take long.

I heard it can be used as a paint remover.
 
Coca-Cola's properties are controversial I guess. Pharmacists sold it and a Bing search generally agrees that it heals upset stomachs. But like with the cholesterol issue, one size does not apply to all folks, like sis.

Also, Bing search shows that some people praise it as a degreaser of engines, carburetors, etc. while others say it's ridiculous.

I believe it.

I read somewhere, maybe even here, that Coca-Cola is hailed as being a great rust remover when restoring old chrome car bumpers.

"Milk. It does a body good." :ROFLMAO:
 
Drinking a can of pop, every day or so, is probably not a problem for most people. However, like everything, excessive consumption can easily lead to problems. There are very few foods or drinks that are 100% healthy, so moderation is the key. Those who load their grocery carts with soda pop and beer, etc., will probably have plenty of opportunities to use their Health Insurance.

I really love vanilla coke but sometimes its hard to find. Since I have been ordering groceries online they usually want to sub it with regular coke. A lot of people like it so its not always in stock. It does not come in the little cans though.
