...but what is Coke? Sorry, it's a secret. Is it all just a marketing ploy? Could someone really make a pretty decent facsimile of Coke without knowing the exact formula? Let me know if you figure out how to make homemade Coke Zero. That would reduce our grocery bills considerably.
I'll admit that this news that carbonated beverages may increase the risk of osteoporosis alarmed me, until I read that this risk appears only to apply for women, not men. (Whew for me, but still not good news.) I know I am not the only cola aficionado out there, and aficionado is putting it lightly for me. I have turned almost exclusively to Coke Zero and Diet Dr. Pepper these days in order to avoid the sugar, which is the reason most often cited about health concerns for these drinks (but not the only one).
