Yeah, I don't know about those cancer stats. The bladder cancer stuff is probably right, but how would you do the study (and who would pay for it?) BUT: phosphoric acid causes calcium loss, as does caffeine. Getting your caffeine from a corn syrup solution every hour or so increases your Type II diabetes risk and protein glycosylation in your arteries. There's aluminum even in glass-bottle coke (it comes from the syrup containers.) Bottom line: there is no life-extension benefit to replacing your green tea with coke.
