Over the past few years, the CSE has brought out raging facts about the Cola companies which warn people of terrible products which can cause severe health problems... here is my view of the supposedly safe product called a COLA...
I’m sorry i’m generalizing this review to Colas and putting it here because there isn’t a place for general cola reviews... NOw to begin...
The soft drink called Cola has become overwhelming popular over many years and has also gone on to become one of the biggest bugbears of human health... Causing no immediate health problems, colas have gone on to cause all kinds of troublesome illnesss to people in their middle ages and now even youngsters...
Now lets begin with facts...
What is a Cola really? Is it some sort of fruit based drink? Is it a diet drink? Does it help digestion? Does it add any value at all to the daily dietary intake???
The answer rings loud and clear NO NO NO NO....
Cola is just water, with colour and sugar and a potent mix of chemicals added to it to it in the name of flavouring agents and taste... It adds absolutely no nutritive value... Many people talk about Cola being a thirst quencher btu the fact is, the sugar level is so high, drinking a COke or Pepsi instead of water causes on to become more thirsty as such completely undoing the effect of the water in it...
People have called Cola by many names chief being :
Pesti Cola
Germi Cola
Acidi Cola
And the fact is, all these three names are very correct.
Open any bottle of cola and have it tested objectively in a neutral lab... One finds all these elements present in siginificant numbwers to cause alarm....
Cola companies advertize safety of their drinks in extensive ad campaigns featuring major starts and their own CEOs, but have you ever seen the CEOs drink their own product on TV? NO... Why is that? What have they to hide?
The fact is, Colas are a highly acidic substance... So acidic that they are know to corrode the strongest substance in the body, the teeth, in just a matter of time... And they can cause havoc inside one’s stomach by raising the acid levels to limits which over the years will seriously affect the system... It is because of this acidic nature that colas have been used numerous times as solvents in cases of emergency...
The findings of the CSE are perfectly true and can never be refuted by anyone who honestly does the test, but the problem is the overwhelming Indian consumer attitude of "sab chalta hai"
IN the long term, Cola can really have terrible adverse on one’s system, the primary being obesity...
So, I appeal to all readers with a bit of common sense... Please... Value your life above fashionability and stupid ads...
Don’t lose your perspective to life and do reduce the amount of Cola you drink...
It will help you in the long term...
