Rust remover, anyone? Or maybe a dash of cement with your meal?
Swapping your “full-fat” Coke for a diet alternative might seem like the sensible, healthy thing to do. But think again.
Last week, experts at Imperial College, London claimed sugar-free drinks won’t help you lose weight or avoid Type-2 diabetes.
In fact, they could stimulate your appetite and make you gain weight.
And worse, some sugar-free soda has ingredients you wouldn’t usually dream of consuming — chemicals found in rust remover, steel cleaner, and cement, albeit in tiny quantities.
They also have ingredients that in high doses have been linked to DNA damage, hyperactivity, and bone fractures.
Dr. Marilyn Glenville, author of “The Natural Alternative To Sugar,” says: “We don’t know the chemical cocktail effect of these ingredients.
“Some negatively affect health. Women and girls who regularly drink these drinks increase their risk of osteoporosis in later life.”
“There is also a lot of research showing artificially sweetened drinks promote weight gain and affect gut bacteria levels.”

..normal people, who can be several to more pounds "overweight" deemed by people that never carried an ounce of fat on their bodies are actually quite normal....

I had a really old car for a while. My mechanic used to remove the rust from the calipers by soaking them in soda. Coca Cola, I think.

Well, I guess the woman I met at the door was his sister or a common law wife. She had the exact tone and bearing of a family member.
Guess we'll never know.
Is that lemons? I thought it was limes.
I drank a lot of it when I was on the Adkins diet. If you drink it with a bunch of protein and fat you don’t get hungry from it because you’re full and it satisfies the craving for something sweet. Also diet orange with heavy cream was a nice treat when you’re avoiding carbs. Tastes like a creamsicle.
Nowadays I mostly drink plain water.

I remember seeing old comedy movies on TV when I was a kid that involved silly scenes in which people were accidentally sprayed with these.
Coca Cola probably works faster than electrolysis.
I ran a test on a 750s gas tank for the first time earlier this year. The process works.
