Hrmph. Same old bog-standard anti-Coca-Cola propaganda that's always doing the rounds. The presented 'facts' that aren't plain wrong are greatly exaggerated for shock value. It makes me despair every time I see stuff like this floating around; not because of any political agenda, but because the willingness of so many people to believe something just because it is wrapped up in a pretty presentation and shared on Facebook (that well respected bastion of scientific integrity) makes me weep for humanity.
I mean, it's an infographic, right? When has an infographic ever lied to us? Especially one which doesn't list any sources? Never, that's when! I should probably make an infographic to prove it...
*breathe*
Coca-Cola is fine, in moderation. Too much is bad for you, but one can say the same about anything - too much water will kill you. Just go easy on the stuff. And maybe don't drink a whole can in five seconds.
other soft drinks are also available

Diet coke apparently is the bad one.
I do know that the EU was/is trying to ban aspartame.
I'm sure I read or heard, somewhere, that Diet Coke had been tested on particularly cute animals or was it Thrid world children?
This ^^^^
You sure do come up with unique topics Patrick.
(Coca) Cola is indeed something that has to be used with care.
I used to drink it every single day.
Two years ago I stopped using it completely, because research after research shows how bad this stuff is.
yeah aspartame...
the erm poo, of genetically modifed ecoli bacteria,
which have been fed fossil fuels.
lovely!
coca cola TERRIBLE and BAD for you ... signed, the pepsi (cola) company (?
)I don't think they put real cocaine in it any more.
VERY sugary .. and much sugar is bad for you.
Best served chilled .. with a brandy on the side.
Useful for cleaning coins (overnight) I understand.
Are panda pops OK?

AHHHH pepsi....
the company who's shareholders were deeply unhappy because they were using aborted foetal tissue in the flavouring process.
i dont touch any of it.
Anyone who wants to defend any popular Cola brand should chuck the stuff down a dirty toilet and leave it there for a few hours.
Anything that gets a bog that clean is not something I want in my body.
Give me a pint of something Bavarian instead.

I'm not a fan of Aspertame either. Kind of a controversial chemical.I stopped drinking all the fizzy drinks ages ago. I only do 100% natural juices not from concentrate
I prefer Dr. Pepper!

We used to dissolve teeth in a cup of Coke at school.
I like Steam Whistle from Canuckia!
I have to say, as a big fan of Belgian blondes (and their beer, ole!) and a good German Weissbier, I've always gagged a little in disgust at the thought of any tipple from your side of the pond.
That said, I had a Samuel Adams or three in a bar the other day and it rocked my socks. I'm willing to reconsider, as long as yall stop sending that Corrs and Budweiser rubbish over here.
