Done with Coca Cola!

LH - I thought Catty was saying that the fizzy stuff in the soda or carbonated beverages is from phosphorus? I think I'm making myself more confused (shocker, isn't it?!).

The fizzy stuff (carbonation) in soda/seltzer is from carbon dioxide dissolved into the water under pressure.

LH - if you could find a couple of better links to post, please do. I did a search, had quite a few to choose from, and chose the two that I thought covered it. I didn't want a mile long post (yes, failed at that anyway, I know! )

Well, here is something to show that you would have to be chugging energy drinks 24/7 to die from them: http://www.energyfiend.com/death-by-caffeine

That's probably based on the LD-50 for caffeine, which is an accurate measure for death from a substance, but you'd get effects from caffeine well before it became a lethal dose. Just like everything else on the internet, you can't rely on something as a sole source.

Research, research, research. (And no, wikipedia isn't an accurate source, but it IS a decent route to FIND sources)
