Coca Cola health question

[powerhouse972]

just wondering, i stopped drinking cola about 2 and half years ago due to the fact that i kept hearing that the phosphoric acid tears up your insides and that it had a pH level of like a 3. But in Biology class the other day we were talking about pH and acids and he said that orange juice and other citric acids were just as harmful. So does this mean that as far as acids go o.j. is as bad as coca cola?

You naturally have one of the most powerful acids in your stomach (HCl)... so I don't see how drinking OJ or Coke is any worse.

deepzen is excactly right, bile in your stomach is much more acidic than coke. I think the teachers tried to scare us from drinking too many soft drinks and sugar filled shit when we were younger to try to keep us from being fat and rotting out our teeth

Teachers also told us that if we swallow bubble gum, it will stay in our stomach for 7 years. I don't know about you, but I shit it out after a day or so.
