Phosphoric acid
Excoriated by nutritionists, along with its primary and market dominating competitors (Pepsi Cola, Shasta Cola and other "house brands) as one of the worst kinds of junk food, both the phosphoric acid and caffein contained in this and similar soft drinks have been suspect in the rise of osteoporosis in young women and now, even in middle aged men, for whom this has been a rare problem. See the phosphoric acid article for supplementary information concerning chemical imbalances leading to osteoporosis.
Sugar
An excess intake of sugar has been suspected as a contributory factor in certain kinds of diabetes, often co-associated with obesity, to which excess caloric intake is suspected as a primary factor.
Criticisms of the Coca-Cola Company
The Coca-Cola Company has had its fair share of criticism for anything from monopolistic practices and low health standards, to mishandling of trade unions in several countries, and collaboration with the Nazis in World War II.
