Hello
> I wonder if it is regular cola or diet?
Well, I'm not sure but the ingrediant what is causing all the problems is phosphoric acid - so check out the label on the diet or reg coke.
> I've heard the artificial sweeteners have this unfortunate habit of increasing risk of cancer...
Yes, they really do. I completely avoid all artificial sweetners. Which isn't really that hard to do.
> I wonder if drinking cola vs not drinking cola is correlated with anything else... I wonder if people who drink cola tend to get less exercise and eat worse than people who don't? Can be hard to control for all factors of diet and exercise...
Yes, could be. But usually most studies published in reputable journals have things like this controlled - they are very tight about the different controls etc.
And whats worrying is that some people literally drink several litres of cola a day!
Anyway.
Kind regards
Meri
