Coca-Cola has said that its flagship cola recipe is still secret after nearly 125 years, denying a story by a public radio show that it has uncovered the formula. This American Life, a weekly radio program, said it found the closely guarded formula in an article in Coke's hometown newspaper, the Atlanta Journal Constitution, from February 1979. A photo that appeared with the article shows pages from a notebook with a handwritten list of ingredients such as sugar, lime juice, vanilla and caramel. It also lists oils of cinnamon, neroli, coriander, nutmeg, lemon and orange. The show, produced by WBEZ Chicago and distributed by Public Radio International, claims the notebook originally belonged to a friend of John Pemberton, the pharmacist who created Coca-Cola in 1886.

And did you know that corn is the WORST grain to consume??? Corn is everywhere.  From high fructose corn syrup, to cornstarch, corn  f lour, corn bran, to the meat that was raised on corn—and much less obvious, leavenings and lecithin, mono-, di -, and triglycerides, the golden coloring, and even citric acid can all be derived from corn. Because of this, the Americ...
