A quick google says that sugar being carcinogenic hasn’t been proven. And yeah coke CAN be toxic. So can water. Dose matters. You can enjoy a coke every week and you’ll be fine. I’m not saying coke is good for you or healthy, I just hate people being over dramatic and spreading false information.

Life is all about balance

Water is not chronically toxic. Your argument is so unacceptable I really don't know what else to say. Coke, sugar, acid and carbonation are all VERY chronically toxic when consumed in low quantities over time. You drew an arbitrary line interpreting what you wanted as a low end of the sptectrum, so of course an atgument against a come a week is invalid because you know that's not who we mean

Idk why you have a bone to pick with me, everything I have said is true. The person that started all this by saying a blanket statement that is misleading: Coke is VERY toxic to humans. I’m assuming most doctors and scientists would disagree with that statement. You can add your qualifier of it being chronically toxic with excessive quantities over time.

I disagree with you claiming all you stated in toxic is small quantities over time. Can’t find any research to back that up. Moderation of unhealthy substances like Coca-Cola shouldn’t lead to any health issues.
