I know some may find this offensive, but sorry, I think I have a moral responsibility myself to let the people around me know of the harms caused by this carcinogen[1].
Cheers.

I'm surprised that the author hasn't mentioned the use of toxins (pesticides)[1], to the extent that it is even being used as a real pesticide in various parts of India.

> The number of individuals who know how to make a can of Coke is zero. This reminds me a fact I remember time to time. If civilization collapses after, say, a world war, I most probably can't make a pot, can't grow plants, can't differentiate if one is edible or not, can't dig for petrol, can't make plastic (or even glass), can't reinvent concrete, can't make gunpowder etc., you get the point.

The english translation doesn't do justice to it but this comic is relevant: http://english.bouletcorp.com/2012/12/09/homo-technologicus/

These books are super dense with that sort of thing. We bought them when we moved out to the country, I've barely scratched the surface. Not really durable though. http://www.amazon.com/Survival-Wisdom-Know-How-Everything/dp... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1579123686/ http://www.amazon.com/Garden-Wisdom-Know-How-Everything-Harv...
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Try drinking water and eating fruit when you feel the urge to have a soft drink. Maybe you do already. It worked really well for me.
Seriously I think outright rejection of all sweetened drinks is probably the best ROI for a dietary change one can make. The whole truth about what soda pop and other heavily engineered processed foods do to one's metabolism and general health is going to be shocking to people when it is finally revealed, and I think tooth enamel is the least of your worries.
I wish Coca Cola would make a acid free version of coke. The Phosphoric Acid adds a slight tang to the drink, but in exchange absolutely destroys your teeth over years of consumption. For regular drinkers like myself I'd happily pay a small premium to buy the "acid free" version of the drink. The sugar still does damage but with both the acid AND sugar it is like a double whammy of "badness" (acid which destroys your…

I don't like Red Bull Cola and think it is a pretty poor substitute - but he enjoys it.
Actually, the Pinjarra process creates Aluminium. The process of shipping it to Long Beach CA converts it into aluminum.
1 can of coke contains 160% of your recommended daily intake of sugar. But you won't see that on the label because money.
(This is probably pedantic.) USDA recommendation: "It is suggested that the maximal intake of added sugars be limited to providing no more than 25 percent of energy." (src: http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/DRI/DRI_Tables/macronutrients.p... ) For 2000 kcal, that would be 32.5g. Reads slightly different as a maximal intake rather than a RDA.
