Too much cola zaps muscle power


Excessive cola consumption can lead to anything from mild weakness to profound muscle paralysis, doctors are warning.


anyway,

Coke by a mile, but it has to be the coke made with real sugar instead of corn syrup.


I think that it's generally wise not to drink "sugar water" when you're thirsty. I doubt that the caffeine is a problem, there are even studies which show that it can prevent heart problems.

I used to drink a lot of diet coke ... but I don't anymore because I want to avoid sweeteners since they mess with the insulin regulation. My drink of choice is currently iced tea with low levels of sugar (250 calories per liter, regular cola has about twice as many calories) - or pure water.

And if you can't live without the taste of cola - drink a small glass from time to time. Only drinking it occasionally even adds to the experience (at least for me).Smile

But we have something else:

Looks a lot classier than Dr Pepper I must admit. Do they export over to England at all? I might sample some.

Cherry Coke that had been sold to Japan before doesn't exist now. I liked the taste.

I think that Coke's mainly winning because of it's huge popularity, especially with places outside the US.
