The small amount of acid in a Coke actually does have medicinal benefits. A bezoar is a mass of indigestible material in your stomach, including fiber, hair, or built-up cellulose matter. Phytobezoars, the most common kind, are composed of fruit and vegetable matter like cellulose. Traditional treatment involves breaking them up and removing them endoscopically, but research has shown that Coca-Cola can effectively dissolve them without having to resort to surgical or endoscopic intervention.
A 2024 study published in the World Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy covered a much larger cohort and, with an increased dosage of Coca-Cola, showed that 100% of the bezoars were dissolved.
