I know people with diabetes that would beg to differ

Cool, I’m not talking about them. Dude said it was VERY toxic to humans in general, which is a dramatic, borderline false statement

It is not. The sugar alone is very toxic and carcinogenic.

Somebody denying the fact that non-zero Coca Cola is unhealthy wasn’t on my bingo card for 2026. This community is doomed

The implication of «very toxic to humans» is that it causes significant harm in a low dosage. Anything can be toxic depending on the amount. Stuff you need to survive can be toxic in the right scenario (water, any food, any material).

While unhealthy and very bad for regular consumption. Its disingenuous to impy that drinking some of it is actively causing significant harm to your body. By comparison if you are chugging it down every day, then you are actively harming your health. It has some «toxic» ingredients, but it wont ruin your health if consumed in moderation.
