I did not see the article, but my dad used to tell me that Coca-cola

makes a good paint remover. A common "science project" for some children

is to leave an ungalvanized nail in Coca-cola overnight. Apparently, by

the morning, the nail has dissolved away. Of course, the reason that the

stomachs of those persons who ingest Coca-cola do not also rot away

entirely is because the stomach is naturally a very acidic environment,

and there is a stomach lining which is strong enough in most people to

resist stomach acid or Coca-cola. When a person is weakened by a

bacterium (heliobacter pylorum) this lining becomes thinned, and acids

are free to attack the stomach wall and create ulcers.

 

Aside from the fact that the Coca-cola Company is an multinational

company which makes billions every year selling carbonated acidified

sugar water, and the fact that they are a major contributor to ill

health in teenagers who drink massive quantities of their stuff in

preference to nourishing, bone-building milk, that is the sum and

substance of what I know about Coca-cola. Maybe other devotees can

help fill in the gaps in my rather thin presentation.

 

Best wishes,
