10 Industrial Uses for Coke Which Prove it’s Not Fit for Human Consumption







Coca-Cola is recognized across the globe as the most valuable brand in history, as well as the second most recognized phrase in the world after “hello.” In many place across the globe purchasing a Coke is ironically easier and less expensive than accessing clean water.
Although Coke attempts to portray itself as a socially and environmentally conscious company, the reality is that it’s deeply connected to pollution and water shortages.
Additionally, the acidity of Coke has led many to question the toxicity of the product, relating to long-term human health, as its pH rating is only one point higher than that of battery acid.
In a study sponsored by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, researchers found that individuals who consumed at least one soda a day had a 44% higher risk of developing metabolic syndrome during the four-year study.
The team studied more than 2,400 middle-aged white residents of Framingham, Mass., specifically focusing on the more than 1,600 people who showed no signs of metabolic syndrome at the beginning of the study. These individuals were then tracked by the researchers for at least four years.





Those who drank at least one soda per day also had:
  • a 31% greater risk of becoming obese;
  • a 30% higher risk of having a larger waistline;
  • a 25% higher risk of developing high blood triglycerides or high blood sugar;
  • a 32% greater risk of having low levels of good cholesterol;
  • a trend toward an increased risk of high blood pressure.
In a separate study, it was revealed that people face a 48% increased risk of heart attack or stroke when consuming one or more sodas per day, as compared to those that don’t drink it every day or at all.
Soft drink consumption has also been linked to respiratory disorders such as COPD and asthma.
10 Household Uses for Coke
Although seemingly not good for the human body, the extreme acidity of Coke makes it work as an excellent cleaning agent.
To give you a better understanding, a pH of 0 to almost 7 is in the scale is acidic, while from 7 to 14 is alkaline on the scale. To put things into perspective, the pH level of battery acid is a 1, with pure water having a pH of 7.
In tests done on the acidity levels of Coke, it was found to have pH levels as low as 2.5.
Consequently, it can clean surfaces as well as (and often better than) many toxic household cleaners.
Here are 10 uses of Coke as a domestic cleaner , which show it isn’t fit for human consumption.
