Woops! Too late!This applies to all soft drinks with these ingredients:Worse negative effects are addiction
Phosphoric acid (rust remover ingredient) commonly made from the the mould of scrap molasses is linked with lower bone density and kidney stones/chronic disease.
Sodium Benzoate (used in Silver Polish) breaks down into the carcinogen Benzene (unleaded petrol additive). In response to consumer insistence on a more natural product and Sodium Benzoate's links to DNA damage (read Parkinsons, early aging effects, neurodengenerative disorders, cell death in general) and ADHD, the Coca Cola Company is in the process of phasing Sodium Benzoate out of Diet Coke. The company has stated that it plans to remove E211 from its other products including Sprite, Fanta, and Oasis as soon as a satisfactory (read cheap) alternative is discovered.
Aspartame (used in medicine as a heavy duty laxative) controversial at this time. But no real proof of health danger in small doses....yet. Worth noting that it does break down into Formaldehyde in the human body.
Caffeine has both positive and negative effects on the body. Dependant on individual reactions., headaches, stomach/intestinal irritation, insomnia, bone density loss. Healthiest effects occur in it's natural state (coffee, cocoa).
