Fingers in ears, going "I can't hear you"
Sunday May 27, 2007
An ingredient that's in lots of soft drinks -- LIKE DIET COKE, SOFT DRINK OF THE GODS -- could mess up your DNA. Oh great. Somebody please do the necessary googling to prove that it's all a big fat lie! Meanwhile, I'll go snort a line of Sweet 'n Low.

A bit of perspective: Cola pH ~ 3-4 (within the range of fruit juices) Stomach pH ~2-3 Calcium loss from the body due to soda drinking is not the result of pH neutralization. Your body neutralizes the 2-3 liters of gastric juice it creates daily just fine with bicarbonate from the pancreas. What about any association with calcium loss? Quite possibly it's related to substituting low-calcium beverages like sodas for milk and other drinks. Or caffeine could contribute. http://healthlink.mcw.edu/article/959705343.html PS - If you're really worried about benzene, stop pumping your own gasoline (About 1-2% by volume in US fuel).
