"The Framingham Osteoporosis Study found that women who drank one cola a day—diet or regular— had about a 4 to 5 percent lower hipbone density than those who drank fewer than one cola a month.6 We know that cola contains phosphoric acid, which leaches calcium from the bones and this no doubt explains in part this negative outcome associated with excessive, regular soda consumption. do you achieve low cal?

"Guru nuts (Cola acuminata), from which cola drinks are made, had been a favorite "chew" in Sudan for many centuries. The cola drinks we use in America get their taste from guru nuts. The active ingredient in this nut is caffeine. When using this nut to make cola, more caffeine is added to the recipe to standardize the stimulant effect of the beverages. In 1850 only 1.6 8-ounce containers of soda were consumed per person per year in the United States. In late 1980s more than 500 12-ounce cans of sodas were consumed per person per year." - Fereydoon Batmanghelidj, Obesity Cancer & Depression: Their Common Cause & Natural Cure (Get the book.)

"In 2005, Coca-Cola introduced a new diet cola that it hoped would appeal to men —Coca-Cola Zero ("zero calories, zero carbs, zero sugar, zero color, and zero caffeine"), and PepsiCo introduced Sierra Mist Free. Both were sweetened with aspartame and acesulfame-K. Neither did well. The FDA says all nonnutritive sweeteners are safe at current levels of use, and they may well be, not least because they are used in extremely small amounts." - Marion Nestle, What to Eat (Get the book.)

"Menken, the famous Baltimore pundit and curmudgeon, claimed in The American Language that the word "Cola" applied to the contents of the drink as did "Coca". But no one has ever claimed that the kola (or cola) nut was used in "French Wine Cola" so where did the name "Cola" come from? It is a fair bet that few in Georgia in 1886 knew of the existence of kola nuts, which had not yet entered commerce and were only just in the British Pharmacopoeia (as "Syrup of Kola."" - Henry Hobhouse, Seeds of Change: Six Plants That Transformed Mankind (Get the book.)

"After one year of daily soy consumption, the researchers reported a number of promising subjective and objective results: patients and their physicians reported a reduction in both breast tenderness and fibrocystic changes; a small but statistically nonsignificant decrease in both the average and maximal count PREVENTION • Avoid caffeine (black tea, coffee, decaffeinated coffee, cola, chocolate, and medications with caffeine). Even decaffeinated coffee has other methylxanthines, caffeine-like chemical compounds. • Assure regular, daily bowel movements." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.) "Virginia Ernsrer conducted the first randomized study of a larger number of women, in which for four months 158 women eliminated caffeine (coffee, tea, cola, and chocolate) from their diets as well as caffeinated medications (theophylline and theobromine). She found a significant reduction in clinically palpable breasr findings in the abstaining group compared with the control group, although the absolute change in the breast lumps was quite minor and considered to be of little clinical significance." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"The family Sterculiaceae, to which Theobroma belongs, has just one other genus of major economic importance—Cola, the primary source of flavor and caffeine for cola drinks. Erythroxylon coca, from which cocaine is derived, is sometimes confused with cacao and coconuts but bears no relation botanically or chemically either to Theobroma cacao or to the coconut palm Cocos nucifera." - Nelson Foster and Linda S.

"In a recent study reported by Flood and colleagues [54], participants were provided with cola, diet cola, or water in one of two portion sizes along with a standard lunch on six different occasions. As depicted in Figure 7, food intake did not differ, regardless ] Small portion (360 g) Women (n = 18) Men(n = 15) FIGURE 7 Beverage consumption was related to portion size when participants (n = 33) were provided with a caloric or non-caloric beverage in one of two portion sizes along with a standard lunch on six different occasions." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.) "The authors showed a positive risk for IBD with increases in consumption of cola beverages, chocolate, and chewing gum, but negative risk for consumption of citrus fruits. The authors admitted that these nutritional items could be true risk factors or they could be coincidental dietary patterns adopted during the same time period. Joachim [29] reported subjective responses to foods of 60 patients with IBD. Patients were asked to report whether specific foods made them feel better or worse." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.) "The beverages included water and diet cola, which have an energy density of 0 kcal/g, and regular cola, orange juice, and 1 % milk, which each have an energy density of 0.4 kcal/g. Food intake was similar regardless of the beverage served with the meal. Therefore total energy intake at the lunch meal was lower, by approximately 100 kcal, when the lower energy-density beverages (water and diet soda) were consumed." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.)

"The 13-year-old researchers asked their sixth- to eighth-grade classmates to state whether they preferred to drink Coca-Cola, Pepsi-Cola, or a nonadvertised store brand of cola. All respondents mentioned either Coke or Pepsi; none chose the store brand. The investigators then asked their classmates to rank the taste of coded samples of the three colas that could not be identified visually. The results: 73% of the respondents were not able to identify their preferred cola by taste, and 27% ranked the unpopular store brand as best in taste." - Marion Nestle, Food Politics (Get the book.)

"An eight-ounce serving of cocoa provides not more than 5 to 10 mg of caffeine, less than the amount found in coffee, black tea, and cola, which typically ranges anywhere from 20 to 120 mg. Home Remedies Cocoa butter is an old-time favorite to reduce the appearance of stretch marks. Aztecs were the first to use cocoa medicinally for stomach and intestinal complaints. Native Indians used cacao to cool fevers. In 1672 it was noted that chocolate could cure "pustules or swellings" of sailors who did not eat a "fresh diet." Throw Me a Lifesaver!" - David W.

"If Coca-Cola pays $2 million for a thirty-second Super Bowl television commercial, they certainly expect that thousands or millions of people will change their cola buying behavior. Furthermore, modern advertising not only targets behavior but seeks to change the way people feel about themselves in society. It's not enough to tout the effectiveness of the latest dandruff shampoo; one also needs to make people feel embarrassed, if not humiliated, that they have dandruff." - Jay Joseph, The Missing Gene: Psychiatry, Heredity, and the Fruitless Search for Genes (Get the book.)

"The Crestor Charity Challenge evoked recollections of the Pepsi Challenge, a promotional gimmick that the soda pop manufacturer had used repeatedly in ads to create the impression that cola drinkers preferred the taste of its product to that of Coke. The Crestor Charity Challenge, which AstraZeneca was paying to sponsor at thirty-five professional golf tournaments around the country in 2005, sent an implicit message that Crestor was better and safer than any of the other cholesterol-lowering pills. This was not the case." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.)

"Soft drinks such as cola have a pH of about 2.5 (extremely acidic). Incidentally, it takes 32 glasses of water (which is alkaline) to neutralize the acid from one 12-ounce cola. Most all drugs are acidic, and their residues can accumulate in the fat tissue. Also, be aware that vitamin C supplements listed as ascorbic acid are very acidic. The better choice is Ester-C, which is instead alkaline." - Dr. David W. Tanton; Ph.D., A Drug-Free Approach To Healthcare, Revised Edition (Get the book.)

"Coffee may not be that big a problem for women, but cola soft drinks (sugared or diet) may be. Researchers have been following more than 150,000 nurses for over a decade. They found that while women who drank coffee regularly were not at significant risk for developing hypertension, those who consumed colas were more likely to have higher blood pressure. The researchers speculate that it is probably not the caffeine, but rather something else in these soft drinks that may be predisposing women to hypertension." - Joe Graedon, M.S. and Teresa Graedon, Ph.D., Best Choices From the People's Pharmacy (Get the book.)

"Or You could have a can of cola for 155—170 calories, a lot of sugar, and no nutrition. You could guess that eating low-calorie foods would help you to lose weight. Many studies have demonstrated this. But it's important to recognize that losing weight isn't always about cutting back on food intake. For example, research has demonstrated that adding a simple low-calorie salad at a meal may contribute to lower overall calorie consumption in the meal. One study showed a naturally decreased intake of about 100 calories overall when women consumed a salad to start." - Wendy Bazilian, DRPH, MA, RD, Steven Pratt, MD, Kathy Matthews, Superfoods Rx Diet: Lose Weight with the Power of SuperNutrients (Get the book.)
