Friends,

I was shocked just the other day to find out that secular women have been using Coca-Cola to give themselves abortions!

Yes, COKE KILLS BABIES!!!

Not only that, but experts reveal that Coke not only could kill babies, but it can also damage the woman's sexual organs, so that she will be unable to bear children even in the future! And more worrying still ....

.... COKE CAN GIVE YOU AIDS!!!

THIS article explains just how dangerous Coke REALLY is!

Coca-Cola douches were a part of folklore about birth control during the 1950s and 1960s, before effective contraceptive methods were readily available.1 It was rumoured that the acidity of Coca-Cola killed sperm, and the classic coke bottle provided a convenient "shake and shoot" applicator. Recently, an old study from our group confirming the spermicidal effects of various Coca-Cola formulations2 was awarded the 2008 IgNobel prize in chemistry.3 The press releases surrounding our IgNobel award might have repopularised this method, and soft drink douches are apparently still used to prevent pregnancy in resource-poor settings.

However, Deborah J Anderson, professor of obstetrics/gynaecology and microbiology, lecturer in medicine at Boston University had the following to say about it:

As Coca-Cola is said to tenderise steaks and remove corrosion from car bumpers,7 we tested its effect on human vaginal tissue in vitro using an established toxicology test.8 Brief exposure to Coca-Cola visibly damaged the top layer of cells and decreased transepithelial electrical resistance, an inverse measure of epithelial barrier permeability. Epithelial damage and increased permeability could enhance a woman’s susceptibility to sexually transmitted infections such as HIV/AIDS.9

Sugar facilitates fungal and bacterial growth, so the high sugar content of Coca-Cola could promote vaginal yeast and bacterial infections. This might be avoided by using Diet Coke, but carbonated beverages could have detrimental effects on lactobacilli, beneficial bacteria that colonise the healthy vagina and are essential for maintaining the normal vaginal ecosystem.

Douching has been associated with an increased risk of pelvic inflammatory disease and ectopic pregnancy,10 although it is unclear as to whether this is cause or consequence.11
