Too Much Cola Can Cause Muscle Problems

I've read and heard about many cases of illness that seem to simply disappear when colas and other sodas are eliminated from the diet.

Some supposed Multiple Sclerosis diagnosed symptoms are directly linked to cola consumption and also disappear shortly after abstaining from them.

Remember too, that cola and beer are made with city water which contains fluoride amongst other contaminants. Bear in mind also how quickly sodas drag down your pH considering the pH level of them is 2.5, very acidic (like battery acid).

Too Much Cola Can Cause Muscle Problems

I don't think that's true about beer. Water can be treated to remove contaminants before it's added to kettles for beer production.

Yes, everyone's been saying that soda is bad for you for years. What else can cola do that we aren't aware of?

Isn't it good for cleaning the corrosion off your battery posts in your car? LOL
Or is that an old wives tale?
I never let mine get that bad.
