Drinking Soda – Risking your Health

The Coca-Cola logo is commonplace and well-established; the slanted white lettering on a red background is recognized by virtually everyone around the globe. However, a Nicaraguan graphic designer by the name of Fabio Pantoja is changing things up, and not in ways that would please the soda giant.

In an effort to visually convey the health harms that Coca-Cola unleashes on the body, he created an unexpected twist on the otherwise simple, lighthearted logo.

His shocking infographic incorporates the various body parts that the soda destroys right in with the lettering; for example, there is an eyeball dangling from either end of the "C" and a heart makes up the second "A."

Take a look at his dark, yet truthful, demonstration of how drinking Coca-Cola is anything but healthy:

Soda is a "poison"
Spot on, isn't' it? He gave the happy-go-lucky brand a well-deserved slap in the face by conveying that it isn't all fun and games (oh, and how can we forget, profit). There are several serious health problems caused by drinking soda; even Pantoja, who considered himself an avid fan of the drink, now says he's seen the light.

On Behance.net, a site where creative professionals showcase their online portfolio – as Pantoja did in this particular instance – he wrote, "More than a critic[ism] to Coca Cola, it's a critic[ism] to myself, to see if I can finally stop drinking this poison once and for all!"
What are the components of your Coca Cola?
Among all the chemical components, we found in every soda, we can mention:
Carbonated tap water – Whatever it is in unfiltered municipal water is also in your Coke. The carbonation that is added increases gastric secretions and can make you flatulent. Here is what your tap water looks like, by the way.
E150D – This is a food coloring, which is made from processing sugar at certain temperatures. Ammonium sulfate is then added (also a constituent of Round Up Ready Chemicals used by Monsanto). This chemical has been known to increase asthma attacks.
E952 – This is a sugar substitute. It is 200 times sweeter than sugar and can cause your glycemic levels to sky-rocket. This can lead to diabetes, obesity, and other diseases.
E950 – This is Acesulfame Potassium, and it aggravates the heart, vascular system, and nervous system. It is especially bad for children and pregnant women.
E951 – Aspartame – A GMO product which can cause serious negative impact in your body. Symptoms of aspartame poisoning include: unconsciousness, headaches, fatigue, dizziness, nausea, palpitation, weight gain, irritability, anxiety, memory loss, blurry vision, fainting, joint pains, depression, infertility, hearing loss and more. Aspartame can also provoke the following diseases: brain tumors, MS (Multiple Sclerosis), epilepsy, Graves’ disease, chronic fatigue, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, mental deficiency and tuberculosis. Later, this substance was initially illegal due to its dangers but was again made legal in a suspicious manner.
E338 – Orthophosphoric Acid – This causes skin and eye irritation, and can interfere with your body’s ability to absorb calcium, causing osteoporosis.
E330 – Citric Acid – This is a preservative that is also used in the medical field for preserving blood. In small doses it is fine, but in large doses it can eat away your stomach and esophageal lining.
Aromas – Unknown aromatic additives.
E211 – Sodium Benzoate – According to a study completed by Peter Piper at the Sheffield University in Britain, sodium benzoate can harm DNA.
So, if you can’t imagine a life without Coca Cola, take advantage of the following recommendations:
– Many distributors of Coca Cola in U.S. use this drink for cleaning their truck engines. Many police officers in U.S. have bottles of Coca Cola in their cars and when a car accident happens, they wash the blood out of the road with it.
– Coca-Cola is a great tool for removing rusty stains on chrome surfaces of cars. To remove corrosion from car battery, pour it with Coke and the corrosion will disappear.
– To unscrew a rusty screw, dip a cloth in Coca Cola and wrap around it for several minutes.
– To clean stains from clothes – pour Coca Cola on dirty clothes, add washing powder, and run the washing machine as usual. You will be surprised of the results.
– In India, some farmers use Coca Cola instead of pesticides for pest extermination, because it’s cheaper and the effect is completely satisfying.
So, Coca Cola, undeniably, is a very useful product. The key is to be used for intended purposes, but not for drinking
Fighting the venom
There are many ways to fight this venom, but the way Mr. Pantoja is presenting it is very graphic. In a very clear way he is declaring war to the Coca Cola. He once declared suffering a lot, but finally saw the light, and wants to contribute, in this graphic way, to avoid our society permanently drinking sodas, especially among our children.
We want to express our gratitude to Pantoja for providing, very graphically, the danger our children are directly exposed to sodas. Please don’t destroy our body. The way Pantoja design his logo, our organs are directly exposed to such sodas. “If we don’t care our body, where are we going to live?”
