Being the most valuable brand in history globally, Coca-Cola is also the second most recognized phrase in the world after “hello.” Its purchase is easier and less expensive than accessing clean water at some places in the world.
The Cola- Cola Company struggles to maintain an image of a socially and environmentally conscious company, but in fact, it is related to pollution and water shortages.
Moreover, its content and potentially harmful ingredients have been subjected to numerous studies, which found it to be dangerous for our health. Its acidity has led many to question the toxicity of the product, relating to long-term human health, as its pH rating is only one point higher than that of battery acid.
To be specific, a pH of 0 to almost 7 is acidic, while from 7 to 14 is alkaline on the scale. To put things into perspective, the pH level of battery acid is a 1, with pure water having a pH of 7. Research found Coke to have pH levels as low as 2.5.
Also, the consumption of soft drinks has also been linked to respiratory disorders such as asthma and COPD.
Moreover, another study showed that people face a 48% increased risk of heart attack or stroke when consuming one or more sodas per day, as compared to those that don’t drink it on a daily basis or at all.
