My grandfather, who disliked cola products, warned me about the evils when I was a child. Clean nails, tenderize meat, etc. He died in 1967. So those stories have been around quite a while....

The logic escaped me back then as it does now...a product that will dissolve nails...if billions of people drink it on a regular basis...wouldn't bunches and bunches of them DIE??? Even as ineffectual as most governments are...would people keep drinking an ACID that ate the stomach???

Didn't a woman in California (of course!) DIE recently from drinking too much water?

Never made any sense to me.

But then...any doctor who suggested to me that one practice was "more healthier" than another...well...I would go to a "more smarter" doctor right away!
