Coca Cola…Hydrating? | That’s What They Say
Yes…three drink posts in a row. But this one is all my own. I bought a 12 pack of Coca-Cola today for my parents who are coming in to town this weekend and I noticed something it said on the bottom. It says:
“All beverages hydrate to include soft drinks. So if you are looking for hydration, but want the delicious and refreshing taste you get from Coca-Cola, don’t compromise - go for it! You’ll be hydrating your body with each and every sip.”
Tags: coca-cola, Coke, hydration, soft drinks, waterMaybe if all the water in the world is gone and Coca-Cola is the only thing left to hydrate yourself with it would be a good statement. You can not substitute water for ideal hydration. If you rely on Coke or any other soft drink to keep you hydrated in hot weather, you’re making a bad decision. The more Coke you drink the more caffeine you take in and the more you will be urinating and the more water will be expelled from your body. Don’t be stupid…drink water and not Coke to hydrate and don’t take a marketing ploy like this seriously. They are just asking for a lawsuit here.

You are most definitely right on point! I agree and from personal experience…
Heat exhaustion is not a pleasant experience and I got it while working on a construction crew in 100 degree heat drinking the wrong thing - coke.
Learned my lesson and lived, thankfully. If you really want to hydrate, water is the deal! For a quick pick me up, go Gatorade…

I thought this was just stupid when I saw it. I once had a friend that thought you could hydrate by taking a shower after a long night of drinking. He had a lot of issues though.

Definitely false advertising! They should be stricter on labelling as this is downright wrong.
