Hands up all those of you who think Coke (or Pepsi, for that matter) is good for you.
Well, you're all wrong. Apparently, it's extremely healthy.
The can in front of me boasts that Coke is "very low in sodium" and "not a significant source of fat, salt, fat, trans fats, cholesterol or fiber". It even has a helpful table that reads:
Amount per serving (% daily value):
Total fat 0g (0%)
Sodium 50mg (2%)
Protein 0g.
What it doesn't say is that a can of Coke contains either the equivalent of 10-21 cubes of sugar (depending on your source) or a sweetener proven to cause cancer, leucaemia and lymphomas, has an average pH of about 1 AND makes you burp a lot.
I wonder why not.
