Orange juice has lots of citric acid in it, which will corrode steel. It does make one wonder just why we are putting it into our bodies.

That Donald Sutherland is a lying bastard!
Being diabetic, I tried the new Trop50 reduced-sugar orange juice because I haven't been able to drink it in years. It made me sick because of the acid content... think Liquid Drano.
Try a reduced-acid variety. Not sure if you can get one that's both reduced-acid and reduced sugar, but if you do have issues with the acid there is that.
Is your reasoning like this? ...
"Citric acid corrodes steel. Steel is stronger than we are. Therefore citric acid will corrode us better."
I've never thought that citric acid consumed in moderation is harmful.
Citrate ions are used extensively throughout the body, and we produce lots of them metabolically from glucose in a process known as the "citric acid cycle".
Citric and acetic acid are the two acids I have no concerns about ingesting in moderation.
I was pointing out how silly Sector 7's logic was. Coca-Cola is also quite acidic but there's nothing wrong with consuming it in moderation. Just like orange juice.
My reply was actually a George and Ira Gershwin reference.
I've only seen a few episodes of Red Dwarf. Was that the sci-fi spoof with the scouser who says "smeg" a lot?
Indeed, diluted acetic acid is used extensively in salad dressings and sauces and such. It's also known as vinegar.
understood.
What I stated is fact. Those links are to mostly rumor and innuendo. In the past, I worked for a trucking company and a transportation broker. In order for truck drivers to haul Coca-Cola syrup, the driver must have a Hazardous Materials certification. The trailer must have proper placards indicating contents are hazardous materials. These rules were given to us by Coca-Cola (Atlanta, Georgia, USA corporate office) when placing bids to haul their syrup. I was never aware of any necessary placarding or haz-mat requirement for transporting the retail bottles or cans.

Wait, what?

"So many people drink 2 litres of Coke a day"? That's crazy. I drink maybe two cans of soda every month, and only if I'm having pizza.
For once, I completely agree with MLB. Must be one of the signs of the Apocalypse.
This post is full of win and lulz.
Why steal them? I give them away freely!

It's as much caffeine as.... two cups of coffee!
Seriously though, I used to think I drank a lot of caffeine when I was younger because I drank a lot of diet soda. I was way off!
Well, I was not concerned much about caffeine, but sugar and gas. That can't be healthy.
I usually add water to my Coke because the fizz goes directly to my nose.

Then why is coffee my drug of choice?It's as much caffeine as.... two cups of coffee!
I guarantee caffeine is not the problem here.Wait, what? WHAT?

Indeed; I've just been struggling with a bit of insomnia the past few weeks so caffeine has been on my mind. Sadly.

Yeah, I caught some of Size Me the other week, and the daily caloric intake of some of the people they interviewed, some just from soda alone, was pretty frightening.

Just because something is potentially harmful in pure form in a 55 gallon drum (or however they transport the syrup) does not mean it's harmful in a 2 liter bottle or a 12 oz can diluted in water and mixed with a bunch of other ingredients.

Does not mean they should be in there to begin with.
And when they put that sorta stuff and don't say it, like when I called information for that candy under "natural and artificial flavors", that's just not right, especially when one is not aware of it.
