I have put my son's milk tooth in a glass of cola and made a picture* of it every day for about 2 weeks, then once a few days. Time by time I have washed it with toothpaste and toothbrush, then replaced the cola with fresh one. For the experiment I use Coca Cola, because that is the most popular cola.

I don't want to argue I just know chemistry." +1 welcome to the dumbing down of the populus. suddenly everyone thinks they can understand any topic under the sun with a quick visit to wikipedia "Don't let Wikipedia be your only teaching tool.

During a weight-maintenance phase about 7 years ago I developed a 6-a-day diet soda habit. Maybe 3-4 months later, I started developing symptoms not unlike MS or Parkinsons. I was so worried that I saw a neurologist and had a series of MRIs. He definitely observed the effects like slurred speech, tremors and random muscle twitching, but couldn't see anything definitive on the MRI. Meanwhile, back on my diet, in an effort to eliminate caffeine I cut out the diet soda. To my shock the symptoms were mostly gone in a few weeks, and I haven't touched the poisonous stuff since. Just my personal experience....take it for what it's worth. Oh, and I also realized that it's mostly the bubbles which I enjoy about soda, so I now drink seltzer and sparkling mineral water in abundance with no ill effects!

If you knew better, it is simply to answer all possible logical questions about the substances that most of us didn't even know about... Daily burn is about being self aware, not for scare tactics. You should be ashamed in yourself for your comment.

Do you know how? Your mouth (and your teeth especially) are the first to touch the caffeine in which teeth are indirectly related to your bones which will have a domino effect of too much intake. How do you think teeth get stained so badly from soda/pop, coffee and alcohol? Your teeth absorb. Every one's bodies are different, so do go and ask at what prevalence and dose, is rather irrelevant to the typical "average human" count of toxicity.

Also while HFCS is one of the five most common ingredients in AMERICAN soda, America is not actually the entire world; the rest of the world generally isn't in the pocket of the corn lobby.

Ha! When writing anything purporting to give scientific information, it is the responsibility and duty of the author to provide sources. It's not our job - we're not making the claims. The onus of proof lies on the person making the claim. "Don't bitch about the person not providing them"? Ha!

I'm just... shocked... really, shocked, that such an elementary mistake was written, approved, and posted. It's so f'ing basic. Christ. Not to be too hard on the author but this is really embarrassing. You can't just add up the... sigh, never mind.
