Erm….
I think most of the people will answer YES undoubtedly for my question above, specially for children…
Coca-cola is sweet and have a attractive aroma which are attracting our olfaction and our taste bud, and it is also a very good accompaniments to hamburgers and French fries.
Coca-cola (or we normally call it Coke), the most well-known soft drink, and we can call it the King of the soft drink due to it sales amount, India's 1.1 billion consumers or Mexico's 108 million drinkers annually. Is it a great amount??? Then how about you? How much you consume coke per year?

…. BUT!!!
do u heard before about the rumours of coca-cola ??
I can give some examples of the rumours here which I pick from coke website.

1) Phosphoric acid in coca-cola cause osteoporosis.
2) Coca-cola contains a lot of caffeine.
3) Is aspartame safe for diabetes?

Let's us discover it's ingredients....

Caffein and Theobromine

Coca-cola is originally extracts from the cola leaf and cola nut, mixed with sugar water. But now, only cola nut is remain in the recipe of cokes which are publish to the people.
The main active ingredients in the cola nut are alkaloids caffein and theobromine.

Caffeine is a drug that is naturally produced in the leaves and seeds of many plants. It is defined as a drug because it stimulates the central nervous system, causing increased alertness. Caffeine gives people temporary energy boost and elevates mood. Caffeine may also cause the body to lose calcium, and that can lead to bone loss over time. So, drinking caffeine contain drinks have a greater risk of developing osteoporosis.

Theobromine has a similar effect with caffeine, but about 10 times weaker. Theobromine has diuretic, stimulant and relaxing effects. Although theobromine does not cause harmful effects with humans, it is highly toxic to some domestic animals, including dogs and horses. With the animals, theobromine can lead to cardiac arrhythmias and seizures.

Sweeteners-Aspartame

The artificial sweetener asparttame is the low-calorie sweetener chosen in coke recipe.
Aspartame is a dangerous chemical food additive.
Side effects of aspartame include: decreased night vision, dizziness, unsteadiness, insomnia, Gastrointestinal, gradual weight gain,etc.

Aspartame

Flavors-Phosphoric acid

Acids are added to soft drinks for extra bite, and mouth feel. The primary acid used in colas is phosphoric acid. It serves as an acidic, fruitlike flavouring in food products. The amount of phosphoric acid is 55%, giving cola drinks an acidity of pH 2.6, or about the same as vinegar. The sugar added cause colas don’t really taste like vinegar. But why it needs so much phosphoric acid? It is use to keep the water sterile, as no bacteria can live in such acid solutions. The solution of phosphoric acid in cola drinks is so strong as to cause human teeth to become soft within 2 days. In fact, it is strong enough to dissolve nails and limestone, it can also cause gastric ulcer.
