Re: Kidney stones
Well, the caffeine dehydrates you, which is bad, and I think the caramel coloring and/or high fructose corn syrup (and countless other items) help to cause the stones. So you're right, most sodas over time will help create the stones, but -supposedly- flooding the stones with phosphoric acid (then flushing out the system with the asparagus) will dissolve them. Mine didn't dissolve completely, but the doctor said they were smaller.
Any chemistry/biology/urology experts out there?
