Soft drinks, especially the ones in black are dangerous to our health. Unfortunately, like most Americans, I am also addicted to them. I feel that I can not digest stuff without them. here is an eye opener. A friend of min sent these to me in email and they shocked me. What a drink of cola can to do to a loaf of raw meat is really awesome.

1

3

Meat will turn white after 10 minutes

I agree that cola isn’t very good for you. But there’s a big difference between raw muscle meat and stomach lining, because stomach lining is designed to withstand strong acid. So the demonstration, while interesting, makes an unfair claim.

Where will it all end? Probably somewhere where it all began.

Our stomach lining was ‘designed to withstand strong acids’?

I guess if one believes that a guy with a beard created humans after careful research, and specially designed their stomachs to enjoy coca cola, then yes.

I tend to think our stomach lining got to its present state over time, and was not specially adapted for chemicals that man has only been making a short while.

If the claim was, ‘OMG check out what Coke does to meat,” then its a fair claim. We can draw inferences from there.

We our lungs also specially designed for tobacco smoke? That would be great.

He is showing you how it helps as a digestive aid. You all completely missed the point.

Maybe it’s bad for your stomach, w/e. This might be why we are addicted to using it as a beverage to along with the foods we eat, since most foods we eat are meat.

If soda is bad for our stomach, we haven’t had enough time evolve to it yet. Also, even our own natural stomach acid can screw up our lining sometimes.

haha I love coca-cola and ciggeretes but all these fools are right, you stomach does have its on pH balance

Yes, you idiots, the stomach was designed to withstand strong acids. The stomach secretes a strong solution of hydrochloric acid to break down and digest meat. All you’ve done is demonstrate how digestion works. Ignorance FTL.

While Coke is certainly bad for you, it’s not bad (or as bad as this article depicts) because of its acidity.

When proteins (Such as raw meat) “cook”, their protein strands unravel and rearrange themselves. This can be done through heat (like grilling) or through acid. Ever hear of ceviche? It’s a dish in which fish is “cooked” in lemon juice. The coke simply “cooked” the piece of meat. In fact, take a similar piece of meat and drop it in a pot of boiling water for a couple of seconds and it will turn the same white as it did in the coke.

Now the added acidity will have an effect on your stomach, but your really problem comes from all that sugar and caffeine in the drink, coupled with the fact that most Americans drink many cans of cola a day, which makes this drink unhealthy.

hate to break it to u, but I frequently marinate meat (or chicken breasts)
in a mix of coke & teriyaki sauce overnight which tenderises it beautifully. After 12 hrs the meat has turned SLIGHTLY whitish but is intact completely. I then grill it for an amazingly tender result that everyone raves about! So I fail to believe this resulted after 1 hr……….get a grip.
