Okay, so Coke does you no good. Have a diet one instead, yeah? Nah, they're bad for you too.

I like my diet coke and no doubt many other food and drinks could be similarly scare-mongered!

It's not really new news - fizzy pop has never really been good for you but then a great deal number of food and drink stuff that is nice isn't prob good for you

My GF is a dental hygienist and she drinks Pepsi Max like it's going out of fashion. She knows the dangers of acid errosion but maintains its the lesser of several evils with regards to fizzy drinks. She absolutely has no support for those energy drinks the kids are drinking these days. Absolute menace more than Coke ever was.

The factual basis of some of this is suspect and has been challenged. For example:

No doubt that too much coke is bad for you, but it is more complicated than portrayed.

PS. I gave up coke entirely about 12 years ago.

I'm enjoying a bottle of Coke Zero as we speak! (Or type / read / forum, whatever the correct verb is!)

After 60 minutes you start to crash, better have another Coke then
