I'm doubtful that someone can die from Big Mac withdrawal. Link?

a link to a dictionary maybe, to see what addictive means
but do you know what's the top 3 fatal diseases in your country and what causes them? you might find out big mac kills on a large scale

I was asking for a link to the study.

I know perfectly well what addictive means, but I highly doubt that the study showed that fast food is physically addictive. If it isn't, then the comparison to heroin is entirely unfair.

There has been a lot of speculation about the effect of Coca Cola on the human stomach. There were those that said that the popular beverage could literally cause our intestines to melt if we drink to much of the stuff. Coca Cola always denied the rumors and said that their product is no worse than other soft drinks on the market and there was no official proof of the “dissolving effect“.

So a bunch of guys decided to conduct their own experiment and find out if the rumors are true. They just took a piece of red meat, put it in a plate and poured some Coca Cola over it. They left it there for two days and took some photos throughout their experiment. The Coke didn’t completely dissolve the meat but you can see that it doesn’t look like anything you’d like to have inside your body. And the smell was unbearable.

I’m sure pretty much everyone knew that Coca Cola wasn’t the healthiest drink on the market, but I for one didn’t think it could do that to flesh. No more Coke for me!

Leave meat out for two days without pouring it in Coke and see what happends/it smells like.

I'm sure Coke is shit for your health, but, come'on. Pour orange juice on there and see what happends, or vitamin C tablets.

* In The First 10 minutes: 10 teaspoons of sugar hit your system. (100% of your recommended daily intake.) You don’t immediately vomit from the overwhelming sweetness because phosphoric acid cuts the flavor allowing you to keep it down.
* 20 minutes: Your blood sugar spikes, causing an insulin burst. Your liver responds to this by turning any sugar it can get its hands on into fat. (There’s plenty of that at this particular moment)
* 40 minutes: Caffeine absorption is complete. Your pupils dilate, your blood pressure rises, as a response your livers dumps more sugar into your bloodstream. The adenosine receptors in your brain are now blocked preventing drowsiness.
* 45 minutes: Your body ups your dopamine production stimulating the pleasure centers of your brain. This is physically the same way heroin works, by the way.
* >60 minutes: The phosphoric acid binds calcium, magnesium and zinc in your lower intestine, providing a further boost in metabolism. This is compounded by high doses of sugar and artificial sweeteners also increasing the urinary excretion of calcium.
* >60 Minutes: The caffeine’s diuretic properties come into play. (It makes you have to pee.) It is now assured that you’ll evacuate the bonded calcium, magnesium and zinc that was headed to your bones as well as sodium, electrolyte and water.
* >60 minutes: As the rave inside of you dies down you’ll start to have a sugar crash. You may become irritable and/or sluggish. You’ve also now, literally, pissed away all the water that was in the Coke. But not before infusing it with valuable nutrients your body could have used for things like even having the ability to hydrate your system or build strong bones and teeth.

This will all be followed by a caffeine crash in the next few hours. (As little as two if you’re a smoker.) But, hey, have another Coke, it’ll make you feel better.

Withdrawal does not define addictiveness, but physical dependency is a factor. In any event, this is just another good reason not to eat fast food on a regular basis(just in case diabetes and heart disease weren't good enough).

This. A slab of dead meat left out in the sun isn't really comparable to a living person's intestines.

possibly, it all depends, obviously
and nobody there says about "increasing the need to pee above normal requirements" exactly because it's hard to define such things, they said you'll pee it in about 1h for sure. can you bet you don't?

no. but a slab of meat in a room, at room temperature, covered in coke can give you an approximation of what's gonna happen if your stomach was filled with coke every day. which is what they are talking about there

Well if I drank a litre of coke, I'd certainly expect to pee in about an hour. If I drank a litre of anything, I'd expect to pee in an hour. So their conjecture is not any more conclusive.

Once it's in your intestines enzymes get to work and carry on breaking that shit down on a molecular level so your intestines can absorb it. The whole argument of coca cola being corrosive towards things is a null argument. Pour orange juice or vinegar on meat and leave it there at room temperature and you'll get similar levels of corrosiveness.
I'm not vindicating coke or anything, but there's much worse things people put in them than coke on a regular basis. See: A heavy weekend on alcohol. You don't shit out blood if you're addicted to coke now, unlike a jolly alcoholic. Too much vodka = acid reflux, too much coke = you get full.

i meant intestines too, not stomach, sorry

it sits in your stomach for a little if you drink just one, many people drink several doses in a day, or even liters per day as discussed.

nobody said it's better to have vinegar, vodka or orange juice in your stomach for prolonged period of times, just different, are you for real??

I was just disputing your whole "it's corrosive, therefore bad for you" argument. Your stomach has pretty epic defenses against corrosiveness, mainly the lining having that layer of mucus protecting it from any acidic dangers. Once it's in your intestines it gets absorbed very quickly, being a liquid, and around 20% of it gets absorbed in your stomach. Coke is incredibly bad for you, and this is a point I won't argue, but when you get lots of conspiracy nuts on the internets (like that blog post) going "OMG LOOK WHAT IT DID TO THE MEAT IT DOES THIS TO YOUR INTESTINES" it's just rediculous faux-chemistry (or biology depending on what way you look at it).
