Phosphoric Acid

Description

1. Phosphoric acid is a clear, colorless, odorless liquid with a syrupy consistency.
3. Due to the use of phosphoric acid, cola is a actually more acid than lemon juice or vinegar. The vast amount of sugar acts to mask and balance the acidity.
5. Food-grade phosphoric acid is a mass-produced chemical, available cheaply and in large quantities.
7. Phosphorus-containing substances occur naturally (0.1%*0.5%) in foods such as milk, meat, poultry, fish, nuts, and egg yolks.
9. Opposing studies showed the opposite that *low* intake of phosphorus leads to lower bone density.  who funded the studies? PepsiCo.
*1. According to the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), a consumer watchdog group not affiliated with the food industry, only a small fraction of the phosphate in the American diet comes from additives in soft drinks. Most comes from meat and dairy products. So your reason for not drinking Coke should be its sugar content and artificial food colorings, not the phosphoric acid.
