Diseases News: Coca-cola Causes Cancer

Comments: Funny the person said you may as well drink something that taste good. I don't know how anyone could drink coke. It does not taste good. People just see others drinking it so they try to do the same. Its more of an acquired taste not something you just sip once and say to yourself wow that really tastes good. As for being bad for you of course it is. The worst ingredient is the benzonate but then you have to add caffeine and other stuff they put in it, all poisons to your body. Anyone have a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice? [See Similar Topics]
