According to farmers in India, Coca-Cola functions as a pesticide, killing unwanted insects. If Coca-Cola kills insects (just like a pesticide), imagine what Cola-Cola does to your body. If something kills living organisms (insects), do you think that you–as a living organism–will be exempt from the disastrous effect? I'm not saying that Coca-Cola will kill you. That's too extreme…but over a prolonged period of time, it certainly will have a harmful effect.

This is yet another reason to eliminate sodas/colas from your diet. Not only are they filled with artificial colors, and sugar, but they destroy cells and are a rough equivalent to pesticides.

From a discussion forum on the topic….
