The main ingredients used to produce the Coca Cola drink are carbonated water, sugar, caffeine, phosphoric acid and some natural flavorings. The presence of phosphoric acid in Coca Cola makes the drink very acidic. It has a pH level of about 2.7. At this level of acidity, Coca Cola can dissolve the calcium in tooth enamel, chalk and limestone.
There are myths and rumors that the Coca Cola drink can actually dissolve a T-Steak in 2 days. However, this is very unlikely because the pH of our stomach is between 1.5 and 3.5. This is because of the presence of hydrochloric acid in our stomach. Despite having a pH lower than Coca Cola, our stomach still needs enzymes like pepsin to break down the food in our stomach for digestion.
Not to be snarky but do you notice you keep on reposting stuff, if you're aware of it fine, if not maybe see a doctor.
