Coffee vs. Coke

**Prince** · 05-09-2002, 09:43 AM

Which do you think is worse? By worse I mean more unhealthy.

If you know of any real studies on the net please post!

Fade · 05-09-2002, 09:48 AM

I'd have to say coke is worse.

You have the lovely simple sugars and other good for you chemicals in it. Hell the stuff eats the corrosion on car batteries .

Coffee is hot.

Robboe · 05-09-2002, 10:04 AM

Coffee has loads of chemicals in it too, only some of which have been studied and about half of them were shown to be carcinogens.

I don't touch soda at all these days, unless of course it's ~ahem~ Alcoholic soda

I stopped using caffiene a while back too when i heard that it can have negative effects on test levels. I can;t remember where i got that from though, sorry. In fact i'm glad i did, cause i prefer decaffienated these days anyway...

Fade · 05-09-2002, 10:07 AM

No no CD.

Coffee is just hot.

Fade · 05-09-2002, 10:08 AM

and it doesn't make me fat like cokes do.

Fade · 05-09-2002, 10:21 AM

You guys on the other side of the pond with your room temp beer. sheesh

Chemicals? Have you read the ingredients of a Coke? That shit can eat through rust.

Coffee is an all-natural product, made straight from coffee beans. Who the hell knows all the crap that is put into a Coke.

I'll take a hot coffee any day.

**I Are Baboon** · 05-09-2002, 11:44 AM

Some facts about Coca Cola:

In many states (in the USA), the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the truck to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.

You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will be gone in two days.

To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.

To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a crumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.

To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.

To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.

To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before the ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy. I wouldn't do this, though, if it breaks down metals, what's it adding to the gravy from the aluminum foil???

To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of coke into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.

FYI:
1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days.
2. The commercial trucks carrying Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) must use the "Hazardous Material" place cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.
3. The distributors of coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years!

Robboe · 05-09-2002, 11:44 AM

There are still chemicals in coffee.

**I Are Baboon** · 05-09-2002, 11:45 AM

There are chemicals in just about everything you eat. You think that protein shake you're drinking is all-natural?

Robboe · 05-09-2002, 11:48 AM

Yes, but until a side by side peer review is performed, you can't say which is worse.

**I Are Baboon** · 05-09-2002, 11:50 AM

Fair enough, but you can't use coffee to clean the rust off your car battery.

**Prince** · 05-09-2002, 12:04 PM

Interesting responses....I was thinking the same way as IAB that coffee is all natural, hell it's just water being filtered thru beans!

I recently stopped drinking Diet Coke, I used to drink one per day, but I still drink a 16oz coffee every morning.

I use 3M Foaming Engine Degreaser.

It is scary how Coke can remove battery acid.

mcguin · 10-10-2008, 08:59 AM

coke hands down..the amount of sugar intake in any soda whether diet or not and the amount of empty carbs is ridiculous compared to a cup of joe

**Merkaba** · 10-10-2008, 11:26 AM

Ok whats up with bumping a 6.4 year old thread on coke!

alexvega · 10-12-2008, 06:27 PM

Here in CostaRica we produce coffee that´smean alot people use to dring coffee every morning.
there is not studies about costaRican people and cancer risk.

Ask the colombians people if they have some studies.

fufu · 10-12-2008, 08:35 PM

Even in moderation, I think coffee would be better than coke.

UFC rocks · 10-13-2008, 07:41 AM

what about diet coke?

SJ69 · 10-13-2008, 08:03 AM

Coffes is better for you than Coke, it's really a no brainer.

UFC rocks · 10-13-2008, 08:20 AM

Aspartame

Quote:

The artificial sweetener aspartame has been the subject of public controversy regarding its safety and the circumstances around its approval. Many studies have recommended further investigation into the possible connection between aspartame and diseases such as brain tumors, brain lesions, and lymphoma.[1][2][3] These findings, combined with alleged conflicts of interest in the approval process, have engendered vocal activism regarding the possible risks of aspartame.[4][5] In 1987 the US Government Accountability Office concluded that the food additive approval process had been followed for aspartame.[6]

That and to me the taste is awful.
