I drink usually 5 or 6 cans of pepsi everyday. I have been told that the carbonation eats the inside of my stomach. Is this true? Also, is caffeinne bad for you?

That's alot of soda to consume a day. Soda may taste great, however it's not good for you. Caffiene slowly shuts down the adrenal glands. This is why so many depend on coffee/caffiene in the morning, because it is taking the place of the adrenal glands. The adrenal glands produce hormones and other chemicals which help you to get going in the morning.
Drinking water is very important.
Hmmm… Water or Coke? Some interesting info.!

COKE

2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will be gone in two days.
3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.

Going from point A to point B in a Hyundai! I may be old school, but have been driving Hyundai's for many years!
. One of the ingredients is acually used in rat poison too. ever thing or hear of that. just food for thought. Ill stick with the real sugar. As for how much sugar comes in soda, a 12 oz Mt dew has 19 teaspoons of sugar, and 93 mg of caffeine which is the equivalent to one or two adult doeses of no-dose.
