Coke. In more ways than one.

So... according to German officials, there are traces of cocaine found in Red Bull Cola. It's not too surprising since Red Bull gives you wings. Clearly one must be high to think they're flying. It certainly fits. Even though it's a small faint amount, it's still got officials thinking of banning the product nationwide. It's already banned in six German states.
It is true that cocaine comes from the cola plant, and many other drinks use parts of the cola plant. However, the chemical makeup that is cocaine is legally supposed to be removed from the plant in order for it to be used in any product. If this is not removed, said product can be classified as a narcotic, which lead to the banning of Red Bull Cola in parts of Germany. Another concern is that officials do not know where Red Bull is getting their coca supply from.
I guess this is another health concern added to this drink. Lets look at the other health concerns and facts about all, if not most sodas, shall we? I will list them.
1. Carbonation irritates the stomach and causes heart burn and ulcers.
2. Due to the above health affect, the stomach reacts to soda the only way it knows how. It takes calcium and uses it to help fight irritation since calcium is a natural antacid. It gets this calcium from your blood supply... hmmm. Deficiency, perhaps? I think so. Oh yeah, be prepared to have a potassium deficiency as well
3. Because of calcium deficiency in your blood supply, the body reacts by putting more calcium into your blood... FROM YOUR BONES. Well, that explains bone density loss, does it not?
4. The phosphoric acid also reduces calcium in your bones. So when you drink soda all your life, and you break your hip at the age of 45, you'll know why.
5. The sugars in soda can cause diabetes by forcing your pancreas to go into overdrive.
6. Due to one's pancreas going into overdrive, increased insulin causes the body to stop or slow down the production of testosterone, which helps in depositing calcium to your bones (I'm sensing a pattern here). Apparently bone damage is already showing up in teenagers. Hmmm.
7. Carbonated drinks have been shown to cause esophageal cancer. It works by acid reflux caused by soda to make lesions, and those lesions can become cancerous. Lovely. I always wanted cancer to go with my meal. And oh yes, this type of cancer is usually fatal.
8. Salt found in soda increases your thirst. Thusly, you'll want to grab for another. And another... This happens by dehydrating your cells of its water. This causes you to slow your metabolism, reduce your resistance to diseases, and speeds up the aging process. Oh, and it's now harder for you to mentally focus.
9. Complex sugars that are not as easily broken down as natural sugars (high fructose much?) actually increases your hunger. Obesity. Joy.
10. Nutritional deficiency (such as calcium) brings back and joint pain. Lovely.
11. The acid and carbonation in the soda assist in tooth decay. Sodas are acidic. For instance, the pH of Mountain Dew is 3.2. Pepsi is 2.49, and Coke is at 2.63. Water is neutral at 7. The lower the number, the more acidic it is.
Well... I'm sure I could search for more if I wanted to, or have the time. However, I have a dinner to eat. A dinner where I will not be drinking soda. Especially Red Bull.
Remember, soda is not a significant source of anything good for you.
Don't worry if you bought a lot of soda and do not wish to drink it anymore. There's many other uses for it. It can reportedly remove grease from clothing, remove rust from metal, clean a toilet, unclog drains and tubes, take away corrosion from car batteries, get gum out of hair, tenderize meat, remove oil stains from concrete, and polish and clean coins. Joy!

There are times when you feel down.
There are times when you feel alone.
There are times when you feel anger.
There are times when you feel weak.
There are times when you feel like you just can't go on.
Worry not, look to the skies, let go of it all.
you've been tagged. i'm so terribly sorry.
