Why coke is bad for you.

Excessive cola consumption can lead to anything from mild weakness to profound muscle paralysis, doctors are warning

Yep somehow scientists have managed to work out that drinking up to 10 litres of very sugary caffeine each day might not be the best idea in the world.
Next up they examine the effect of removing the head from a living human body to see if there are any side effects.

Re: Why coke is bad for you.
Apparently an Australian was drinking 4 - 10 litres of the stuff each day. Drinking 4 - 10 litres of anything is going to make you feel unwell - even water.

Re: Why coke is bad for you.
How did he manage 10l a day though? I'd be peeing for Australia at that point if i were him...
I also recall waching HOW2 (Or w/e it was called) and they left a tooth in coke overnight, only to come back to a severely damaged tooth.

I believe that to be an urban myth....
Snopes
The experiment was on Brainiac Science Abuse, and I believe it showed the tooth discoloured, not dissolved.

Re: Why coke is bad for you.
Even 5 litres of Coke would mean either consuming 15 cans (330ml) or 10 bottles (500ml). Thats a hell of a lot of coke to be consuming a day!

Re: Why coke is bad for you.
Trying to work out how anyone can twist that old proverb of 'a little of what you fancy does you good' to 'overindulgence in what you fancy must be even better'.
