is coke good for your health?

Warren Buffett drinks a lot.

 

Pop is good for digestion, but otherwise not so great.

 

Warren Buffett is a coke-head? Oh wait, you guys are talking about Coca-Cola.

 

The formula for coca cola, without cocaine, is a trade secret. It was originally pushed as a digestive tonic/overall refresher. I recall being given the pure syrup as a prescription medicine, I

It is also one of the best cleaners for car battery terminals there is, (or was, do cars even have batteries anymore?). Pour it on, let it foam, hose it off and do not start the car for at least an hour, best to let it air overnight. That might have changed with the newer computerized cars, I know nothing.

 

We old time bikers used Coke to loosen frozen parts on motorcycles in an emergency. Course you used to also be able to set points using the tab from tab top cans.

 

coca-cola used to contain that kinda coke, was a real pick me up drink.... course the gov ruined that

America would probably be thinner today had they not meddled with coca-cola as it's an appetite suppressant too, one of the best

.

 

I doubt too many cars have points these days. It is the era of the coil pack/control module.

 

many athletes think so:









so did the great Satchel Paige:

 

the drin is not the problem..its sitting on their fat azz all day doing nothing ..what really bugs me is you go to a fast food place and someone orders a fatburger and large fries and then orders a diet drink...do they thin it is saving them calories by drining a diet soda?...the burger is the worse thing for you...

 

No, it's not good for your health, especially diet.

I think he should drink lots more.

 

Seems like the same effect as pharmaceuticals, takes care of symptoms until it kills you.

 

Our system is controlled by Big Soda. There is no real difference between Coke and Pepsi anymore. Stop buying the establishment and buy RC Cola.

 

Coke WAS good for your health before they took the coca out of it.

 

My guess would be that paid endorsement is just that, a paid endorsement.

 

I would bet if you got ten friends together and did a double blind taste test you would actually find there is a taste difference between Coke and Pepsi. I actually did this with a bunch of neighborhood kids when New Coke first appeared and Coke was the overwhelming winner followed by Pepsi and no votes for New Coke.

 

well, at least it proves that Coke is good for your financial health

 

Actually it but proves it is good for the financial health of the endorser but there are no free lunches and someone has to pick up the tab. So from the two other parties involved, the manufacturer or the consumer, just whom would you suggest pays? Hint: it has something to do with bottom lines and profit.

 

I don't dink soda so it's not my problem

 

Yes, cars still have batteries. But you might need a service manual to find it.

 

Well, it really wasn't all that healthy, but by golly you felt GREAT.

 

I meant it was first sold as a medication but ya....I'll bet it did feel great!

 

I know. I'd be a much more mentally healthy if coke and opium were legal.

 

Our country would have probably 75% less crime and you'd actually know the content and strength of the stuff you buy at a price that you could actually afford without robbing the innocent. (by 'you' I don't really mean you yourself) The Mexican Cartel would shrivel and die and we wouldn't have illegal Mexicans growing Marijuana in our national forests polluting streams and creeks and causing wild fires. Marijuana would be just like any other plant, you could grow it. Tell me, who pays $200 for an ounce of tomatoes?

Consider this...Caffeine is a drug.....an 'upper.' Take too much and you could have a heart attack. Imaging buying caffeine on the street from a pusher....No known content, no known strength.

 

Peruvian natives chew coca leaves all the time, and the government can't take it away because there would be a general revolt. The leaves are really just a mild stimulant but we moderns refine it to the point where it's a poison.
