Just remember that high fructose corn syrup is literal GMO poison. They modified corn syrup to have (I believe) a 52 / 48 ratio of fructose to glucose. Excessively high amounts of fructose can cause damage to the liver just like heavy drinking. Excess fructose is chewed through in the liver and spit out in the form of triglycerides, which leads to hypertension and diabeetus. The phosphoric acid in Coca Cola can eat through metals such as a copper penny if left to soak long enough, and I believe it has an effect on the calcium in our bones as well (I don't have positive proof of this, but I think I read it somewhere). Heck, a great use for Coke is to clean your toilet bowl with a multi-hour soak because the acids will eat stains and loosen particulates!

TLDR and more citations needed: STOP DRINKING THAT SHIT

I will have a Coca Cola or other soda every so often as a TREAT.... and it is ALWAYS (at least) the kind made with real sugar (which really isn't much better but at least it's not HFCS). I can only handle about 8 oz of the stuff before I want to dump the rest down the drain.
