Thumbs down Coca-Cola product contained high levels of pesticides

Why to quit coke - not only coke - quit cola. It's can harm you!

Tests conducted by a variety of agencies, including the government of India, confirmed that Coca-Cola product contained high levels of pesticides, and as a result, the Parliament of India has banned the sale of Coca-Cola in its cafeteria. However, Coca-Cola not only continues to sell drinks laced with poisons in India (that could never be sold in the US and EU), it is also introducing new products in the Indian market. And as if selling drinks with DDT and other pesticides to Indians was not enough, one of Coca-Cola's latest bottling facilities to open in India, in Ballia, is located in an area with a severe contamination of arsenic in its groundwater.
Also, cola can cause osteoporosis, where your bones loose calcium and gets porous. The villain is phosphoric acid in cola. Spread this image and message of quit cola campaign. Save yourselves.

Yes, you're right , Coca cola is not at all a healthy drink , I knew that for quite some time ( I used to drink every day in the past for its caffeine content , however as soon as I learned was toxic I'd quit ) and informed my family ,too . But I must recognize that once in a while we would drink a bottle or two for a change .

I've started to get away from cola drinks few years back. Especially that I get hyperacidity after drinking a can of cola. I prefer drinking fruit juices which are healthier!

I remember years ago a classmate did a science project on the effects of cola on your teeth. Let’s just say the results were not in the soft drinks favor hehe.

Cola is also bad because of one of its main ingredients: SUGAR. Believe it or not sugar is one of the most dangerous things that you can put into your body. I could go on and on about the dangers of sugar but I'm sure google can do a better job, but here's something for you guys to think about:


Quote:
Sugar can suppress the immune system.
Sugar can upset the body's mineral balance.
Sugar can contribute to hyperactivity, anxiety, depression, concentration difficulties, and crankiness in children.
Sugar can promote an elevation of harmful cholesterol (LDLs).
Sugar contributes to a weakened defense against bacterial infection.
Sugar can cause kidney damage.
Another reason for your campaign, techbuzzie
