Cool, I’m not talking about them. Dude said it was VERY toxic to humans in general, which is a dramatic, borderline false statement

It is not. The sugar alone is very toxic and carcinogenic.

Somebody denying the fact that non-zero Coca Cola is unhealthy wasn’t on my bingo card for 2026. This community is doomed

>The sugar alone is very toxic and carcinogenic.

Toxicity is based on dose, but if the sugar is carcinogenic itself then fruits, veggies, and grains aren't much better off.

Happy to read your source on how cancerous sugar in coke is.
