What a stupid statement. Phosphoric acid is put there for a reason. It

'snopes.com: Coca-Cola Acids' (http://www.snopes.com/cokelore/acid.asp)

The 2 to 3 tenths of 1 percent phosphoric acid quoted in that Snopes web
page is what's in the syrup, not in the soft drink.

Assuming a mix ratio of 5:1, one gallon of syrup will make 6 gallons of
soft drink.
'How many glasses of soda does a 5 gallon bag in a box syrup yield if
each glass is 16oz? - Yahoo! Answers'
(http://answers.yahoo.com/question/in...2061102AAAMnJf)

That results in a concentration of phosphoric acid in the soft drink of
about 5 one hundredths of one percent.

Coca Cola can hardly be used as a substitute for phosphoric acid because
it supposedly "contains phosphoric acid".

Nearly all cheap soft drinks contain phosphoric acid because it is a
cheap substitute for citric acid.
Phosphoric acid can be manufactured cheaply to put in junk products
like Coca Cola.

You need to give up and have a proper diet.
