Coca-Cola was invented by a doctor-pharmacist John Пемертоном in 1886. John considered drink medical tincture and thought that he will help the pains in the stomach. It all makes sense, as the leaves of the Coca Bush, which was originally one of the ingredients of Coca-Cola, contain cocaine (from 0.1% to 0.9%). Today Coca-Cola produce without the use of cocaine. Interestingly, Coca Cola still imports about 100 tons of the leaves of the Coca Bush every year from the Peruvian firm under the name of National Coca Co. To import the leaves of cocaine in the United States, you need permission from the American Administration's control over the enforcement of the drug laws.
Requires 2 liters of water to produce one liter of Coca-Cola. Lack of clean water in India has caused farmers protest in 2004 against the Coca Cola Company and their water consumption mainly in third world countries. An interesting fact Coca-Cola - the fact that a few years earlier Coca-Cola has started a program called, "Say no H2O", which пропогандировал the use of Coca-Cola instead of water. The main idea of the program was to offer a Coca-Cola for free in restaurants, where customers have ordered a simple drinking water.
What are the components of Coca-Cola? On the label of Coca Cola is written: carbonated water, cane sugar, the color of caramel, food acid (фосфорическая acid 338), "aroma" and caffeine. However, there is also the secret ingredient in Coca-Cola, called 'Goods 7X', and a description of this component is stored in the repository of security in the Bank in Atlanta, Georgia. Only a limited number of high-ranking officials know what is the secret of the component. The question arises: what are we really drink?
What we know today is that Coca-Cola is a very sour drink with a high amount of sugar, which masks the acid taste. Acid in Coca-Cola is called phosphoric acid, which, as is known, destroys organic matter. In fact Coca-Cola makes the body prone to many diseases, such as osteoporosis (a lack of calcium due to high levels of фосфористых), cancer, moderate depression, problems with teeth and fatigue.
