And it is once again a “hoopla headline” that propagates this: “This poison destroys your bones. But everyone drinks it, some every day!”
It's crazy what a horror scenario is being set up here! Poison, destroyed bones, brain explosions and all because of a can of Coke. This presentation is of course accompanied by a cover photo with (tadaaaa) a red circle!
This message can be found on the entertainment health platform “Gut für Dich”, which in the last few days has already been completely exaggerated and dramatic about a miracle berry against cancer . “Good for you” belongs to Heigt.co (actually you can end the article at this point).

Harsh words – where do they come from?
The question now is where the entertainment health platform “Good for You” gets these steep theses from. Well, they don't know that 100% exactly, so the platform directly gives two different sources, neither of which are the origin of the content. Pulptastic under the article , and the text refers to the blog by a Dr. West Conner expelled. Well, the link to the last blog is correct, but where did the name come from? West Conner was taken is questionable because the blog is not run by a Dr. West Conner, but by Niraj Naik, a former pharmacist who now runs, among other things, the blog “The Renegade Pharmacist”.

In this article there is a diagram and a collection of different effects that cola has (can have) on the body. The Renegade Pharmacist website says that it is actually intended for entertainment rather than information about curing, preventing or treating diseases ( This website is for information and entertainment purposes only. It is not intended to cure, prevent or treat any diseases ).
However, this is still not the source! The blogger also gets his information from elsewhere, namely from a Blistree article by author Wade Meredith from 2010 . This original from 2010 and has not provided any sources or scientific information to support these theses. Zero. Nothing. There are only 7 theories that describe what terrible things happen to the body within 60 minutes of drinking a can of Coke. An interesting fact is that this original article casually says the following about caffeine:
It is now assured that you'll evacuate the bonded calcium, magnesium, and zinc that was headed to your bones as well as sodium, electrolytes, and water. […]
But not before infusing it with valuable nutrients your body could have used for things like hydrating your system, or building strong bones and teeth.
In other words: the original author mentions this throughout the article. that caffeine prevents calcium, magnesium and zinc, as well as sodium, electrolytes and water from being used for bone building, but instead ensures that they are excreted in the urine.
No destroyed bones
So there is nothing here about Cola being poison or destroying bones. Of course, everyone should be aware that Cola is not exactly the healthiest drink (note: I also avoid Cola almost completely). Even the author of the original article distances himself a little at the end of his 7 theses by calling for moderate consumption of all kinds of lemonade:
Coke itself isn't the enemy here. It's the dynamic combo of massive sugar doses combined with caffeine and phosphoric acid, which are found in almost all sodas. Moderation, people!
(Source: Blistree )
Likewise, the original article is already being torn up and refuted in the comments, largely due to unsubstantiated statements and sometimes misrepresentations. Of course, the author's goal is to point out that sodas and colas should be enjoyed in moderation, but the facts used are sometimes unfounded.
Drama, baby!
However, none of this would be of any use to our drama pages. That would be far too boring. Therefore, this information had to be inflated by Blistree. So much so that the entertainment health platform “Good for You” has turned Cola into a bone-eating poison. This is of course completely exaggerated, presented this way and it is also complete nonsense.
But it's drama, it's hot, it's like boobs and cat pictures all in one! But Heigt.co wouldn't be Heigt.co if that wasn't exactly what they wanted. Drama. The operators of the site themselves say how much this “health information” from Heigt.co, or the entertainment health platform “Gut für Dich” should be taken seriously :
