Coca Cola

Well, people still smoke, and we've known for decades that smoking kills you in horrific ways.

I agree with Paxman, however, in that people not not realise how much sugar is in a coke serving. A % doesn't mean squat to many people. Counting it in sachets is certainly easier to visualise.

However you can still get fat eating almost no junk food at all. And from what I understand, it's getting fat that's the problem, not eating refined sugar? Just that sugar leads to fat... is that right?

Funny you mention CC as there tv xmas truck is in Sunderland today as apparently we have been voted the kindest city in the UK.

Sisters going later to take the kids to see the CC truck while its in the town. Free coke and pic taken apparently.

It`s silly to single out one company when all the others put basically the same amount of sugar in their drinks which is roughly 2 teaspoons of sugar/100ml.

A can for example is 330ml so it`s like shoveling 6-7 teaspoons of sugar in your mouth and flushing it with some caffeinated water.

Needs more sugar! I love it. Tastes better than alcohol.

Agreed

I think Coke has hindered my ability to enjoy alcohol, the only think I can really drink alco wise are WKD, vodka+redbull or monster, aftershock, pernod... a lot of those 'insane tastes' but can't drink nothing like lager/cider/wine/champagne!

Nothing wrong with sugar, its the caffeine which could kill you with a heart arrhythmia
