It also takes corrosion of of car battery terminals -- This I have done myself and it definitely works. Then when they are dry, you spray them with hair spray to keep the corrosion from coming back

Rather than use hair spray, use oil. Every time you put oil in your car, dribble the last drops from the bottle on the posts. This keeps them 100% corrosion free. Learned this from my mechanic. When I have a station attendent add oil ( not very often) I have them do the same thing.

As a kid growing up, we would buy a can of coke and then use it remove the rust from the handle bars of our bicycles. Even then we used to marvel at what it must do in our stomachs.

I know that soda of any kind is very bad for your teeth. My son was drinking so much soda that it was doing real damage to the enamel on his teeth. The dentist told him to cut back. He hasn't.

In what way does soda in general harm your teeth? Possibly, if you drink and then wash your mouth and/or brush your teeth after then the consequences are different? As for other sodas working effectively at removing rust like Coke - I do not think so.

Well, I have seen Coke remove rust so I know personally that it does do this. As far as how it hurts your teeth, I am not positive, but the problem was with him getting holes in his teeth near the roots. The dentist said this was a result of him drinking large amounts of soda. Probably the carbonated water, but I am not sure? He drinks Mountain Dew, not Coke or Pepsi.

It is the carbonation and the massive amounts of sugar. Mountain Dew has as much caffine in it as does Coke. Add to that the sugar and you have bad teeth and children that are zinging all over the place.

Offtopic but, Did you know that Sunkist Orange Soda, and all root beers except Mug have caffine in them?

I think the amount of sugar on the sodas is what causes the problem with the teeth. You will not believe the amount of sugar sodas contain.

The dental association has been running advertisements aimed primarily at teens lately, pointing out that it isn't just colas or other sodas that cause the tooth damage. Fruit juices also do the damage. It isn't the fact that people drink these things, it is the fact that they sip them, all through the day. Therefore, the sugars, acids, and other substances keep getting refreshed on the teeth, thus allowing the damage to progress.
