COCA COLA GOOD or BAD?

How did it started?
In 1886, an Atlanta pharmacist named John Pemberton, stirred up a fragrant, and when it was done he took it down to Jacob's Pharmacy where the mixture was combined with carbonated water and was sample by costumers who all agreed that the new drink was something special so Jacob's Pharmacy put it on sale for 5 cents per glass. The bad thing about this substance was that it contained cafein and cocaine itself, and the substance was also marketed as a medical tonic that could cure opium and morphine addiction. 
Disadvantages
We all know how much we enjoyed drinking this soft beverage, but we don't really know what are we putting into our bodies. One the most dangerous chemicals that Coca Cola contains, as well as other cola drinks is phosphoric acid which can interfere with the body's ability to use calcium, which leads to osteoporosis or softening of teeth and bones. Do to how much sugar Coca Cola contains,one per day can increase your risk of diabetes by 85 percent. Its proven that because of how much sugar Coca Cola contains it increases insulin levels, which can lead to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes, weight gain, premature aging and many other side effects. Aspartame is a chemical used as a sugar substitute in diet Coca Cola, which has over 92 different health side affects associated with it, including brain tumors, birth defects, diabetes, emotional disorders and many more. Caffeine is very bad in Coca Cola  too, it causes jitters, insomnia, high blood pressure, irregular heart beat, elevated blood cholesterol levels, vitamin and mineral depletion, breast lumps, birth defects, and perhaps some form of cancer.
