Enviga, a green tea-based, caffeinated, carbonated drink, is in clinical testing and is said to speed up the user's metabolism. The beverage will target active lifestyle consumers. A Coke rep said, "Some [of our projects] may find their way to market and some may not." Studies have shown that drinking green tea may promote weight loss by stimulating the body to burn calories.

That's just retarded. People will drink anything these days.
You want to lose weight? Use more calories than you take in.
Knowone knows the long term effect of half of the crap in food and beverages these days.

yeah you're right, but i haven't seen a study that shows people who drink coke regularly are going to get sick or unhealthy, besides the diabetes and the weight gain.

Let’s take a look at some of the major components of a can of soda:

Phosphoric Acid: May interfere with the body's ability to use calcium, which can lead to osteoporosis or softening of the teeth and bones. Phosphoric acid also neutralizes the hydrochloric acid in your stomach, which can interfere with digestion, making it difficult to utilize nutrients.

Sugar: Soft drink manufacturers are the largest single user of refined sugar in the United States. It is a proven fact that sugar increases insulin levels, which can lead to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes, weight gain, premature aging and many more negative side effects. Most sodas include over 100 percent of the RDA of sugar.

Aspartame: This chemical is used as a sugar substitute in diet soda. There are over 92 different health side effects associated with aspartame consumption including brain tumors, birth defects, diabetes, emotional disorders and epilispsy/seizures. Further, when aspartame is stored for long periods of time or kept in warm areas it changes to methanol, an alcohol that converts to formaldehyde and formic acid, which are known carcinogens.

Soda is one of the main reasons, nutritionally speaking, why many people suffer health problems. Aside from the negative effects of the soda itself, drinking a lot of soda is likely to leave you with little appetite for vegetables, protein and other food that your body needs.

Just do a little searching on the net.

Saccharin
A white crystalline powder, C7H5NO3S, having a taste about 500 times sweeter than cane sugar, used as a calorie-free sweetener.

that stuff is used in Diet Coke and it has been shown to cause cancer in rats

Coke goes well to clean motors and stuff. So it must be good for us, as it cleans all our insides.

eh, coke isn't any more corrosive than the stomach acid that we already have.

and isn't heartburn caused by lack of acid in your stomach, and the foods you've eaten releasing gasses as they break down that hurt your esophagus?

then you could just drink a coke and say "goodbye" to heartburn....unless it was acid reflux disease, then it might just get worse..... :dommel:
