After reading this, You will never drink Coke again!!

The Coca-cola company is well known for its variation of beverages, most of which have filled the market especially as the name "Coke" [The name used by the general public for Coca-cola] has become not just a household name but a name that rings a bell in every ear... alongside Gala of course. One of the most popular versions being the Coke classic, which 'captures' one at first taste. The company has also tried to reduce the Sugar content in a coke, thus bringing out the Diet Coke and subsequently the Coke Zero. The soft drink however, has potential negative health effects related to the ingredients added to it.

Caffeine, Sugar and Aspartame
Coca-cola drinks, including the Diet Coke, the coke Classic, The Coke Zero and every other thing that bears 'coke' contains nothing less than35 to 47 milligrams of caffeine in every single 12 Oz. serving. Mayoclinic reports that caffeine intake can contribute to physical and psychological symptoms such as anxiety, headaches and yes! Restlessness. And drinking Coke about an hour before sleep will mean you probably wont sleep till an hour after you planned. About the Sugar, Coke has been sued in some developed countries due to its deplorable Sugar content, this means that regular intake of Coke can be a helper to Diabetes. Meanwhile, Aspartame {An ingredient used in Coke} causes several diseases and isnt good for Children.

Dehydration
Coca-cola's caffeine content works as a diuretic, meaning it makes you urinate more often that you would if you weren't consuming it. Overtime, this excessive urination will definitely lead to dehydration especially if you are consuming Coke during or after exercises or sports. By dehydration, we mean the loss of fluid from the system.

Kidney Failure
Since Coke decided to have Coke Zero, people applauded their efforts to create a Sugar free soda. Now what people do not know is that Coke Zero contains large amounts of artificial sweeteners {A LOT. Trust me, if it was not a lot, it would be totally tasteless} and these sweetners do not agree with the Kidney.

Now that's not even all, The Coke we drink everyday decreases the body's metabolism level, it destroys the fat burning cells and this gives way for obesity, Teeth and Bone damage and even Reproduction problems so No! Drop that bottle of Coke, Drink water instead.
