Saw something about the dangers of Coca today,it claimed that 4 cans a day would make you ill. Now I can't find it again. Anyone seen this ?

There was something on the news last week about if a woman drinks 4 cans of coke a week it can decrease the bone density in her hips. Only coke though, not any other carbonated drink, and only women and not men. Could this be what you heard?

LauJ, that sounds like it, thanks.

I've heard it reported that the Americans used coke to clean gun barrels during the second world war. Perhaps I was being 'wound-up' as a young lad in the 1940's.

its also very good for cleaning gold and diamond rings, and coins

for cleaning, the cheaper the version the better, the supermarket <20p for 2ltr can take varnish of of wood.

there are 156 grams of sugar in 4 standard size cans of coke

the calories add up to approximately a third of your daily recommended amount

the colours etc are all artificial and probably not good for you in any way!

Can't understand why anyone would drink one can per day never mind four. What's wrong with water?

I have seen guys who had corrosion on their battery cables in their car - where they connected to the battery - they poured Coke on it and it took the corrosion off.
