MDJunction to me

"All I can say is that this has been the best place ever. It has been six to seven months since I joined, and I have learned so much. I now believe in myself and accept myself on a completely different level. The people on MDJunction has been so supportive and accepting that I have been able to adopt it into my personal life. That has reduced a lot of stress in my life. Thanks to all." (bunny_fly)

Welcome, Fluffyangel.

What you received is a very old Internet hoax, that presents itself in chain letters like the one you just got.

Far from being a healthy beverage, Coca-Cola isn't, though, a powerful cleansing product and nobody uses it as such. It doesn't dissolve teeth, bones or meat, it doesn't remove rust or corrosion, and it won't melt away your stomach.

Still, its high chemical content makes it unrecommended for constant and massive consumption, but all the benevolent messages you will get about it, encouraging you to forward them to your friends are just hoaxes and urban myths that the Internet is so full of.

Angel, darling, take it from an old experienced dude: you say you drink "lots and lots" of Coca-Cola. DON'T! Cut down on it as much as you can, it's not good for you. It also creates addiction (probably the caffeine that it has). It has an excessive content of sugar that is also very harmful, and if you prefer the so-called "light" version, it's full of synthetic sweeteners that are even worse than the extra-high sugar intake of the regular kind. It has nothing natural in it, it's not hydrating, it only pushes your body's cleansing resources to eliminate all the bad chemical residues you willingly force down your system. When your body starts to fail to get rid of all the harmful stuff you feed it with, it will develop all kinds of disorders, sooner or later.

I wish you all the best.
