    Coca-cola or more commonly referred to a Coke is considered to be the first soft drink ever to be invented by man. Appearing formerly as Classic Coke, its manufacturers have turned to flavor variations along with the introduction of Coke Zero which is said to contain zero calories.

    Being one of the most famous soft drinks consumed around the world, the Coke also has certain hazards associated with it.

      Research conducted by the "American Journal of Clinical Nutrition" in 2004, has led scientists to the conclusion that the sweetening factor of this beverage is the high content of 'fructose corn syrup' used in its manufacturing process. This corn syrup is not easy to digest as compared to the sugar used in everyday life leading to excess consumption of calories and giving way to weight gain.
