Why is this garbage ONLY IN COKE AND PEPSI???? Phosphoric acid robs the calcium from your bones and CAN cause achiness which It does with me!! http://www.livestrong.com/article/468217-why-is-phosphoric-acid-bad-for-you I havent had ANY COKE/PEPSI in about a month again now and thankfully im just about pain free in my legs,etc........ THIS SHIT SHOULDNT BE IN ANYTHING,ITS NOT SAFE...... No other sodas have this garbage!! I looked @ Root beer,Orange Soda,Ginger ale and NONE OF THEM HAVE THIS..... Why does coke and pepsi?? Im drinking Orange Soda now for the most part,it only has CITRIC ACID.. (I have an auto immune disease (psoriasis) which is making it hard for my muscles to begin with) I SWEAR THEY PUT THIS CRAP IN OUR FOOD HOPEFULL WE WILL HAVE ISSUES!!
Jesus Christ, you're worried about phosphoric acid when your biggest concern should lie with the ungodly amount of sugar in the form of high fructose corn syrup that comes with ALL soda (unless it's diet, which is just as bad). Soda is garbage, whether it contains phosphoric acid or not.
and every one of the supposed " problems" in that article has other, more likely cause for the problems, or didn't you read that far.
Living with pain sucks. So, yeah, you get excited at a potential source that can be eliminated. But phosphoric acid in food doesn't cause pain. High industrial manufacturing exposure levels do, through skin contact.
It's one of the baddest acids out there. It and hydrofloric. If the acid bothers you, then you don;t want to check out the potassium benzoate or sodium benzoate. Google those two names. Nasty.
too bad we can't have any of the original coca cola. That shits the good shit! You don't care about no phosphoric anything after a 6 pak of that!
