[capersmama]

I know this may be a foolish question..but does anyone know if say..Coca-Cola is vegan? I love slurpees made from coca-cola. I thought Id aske y'all..to see if you knew..and save myself calling coca-cola. This question isnt just limited to coke..but how about pepsi? 7-up, ginger ale? HELP!!

Its been almost a week since I contacted my local grocery store to see if their store brand sugar was made with bone char..and I havent heard anything back aas of yet :-/

Thanks to yall..I am not affraid to ask questions anymore! Before I just avoided..and come to find out..a couple of things I had been avoiding...turned out to be ok :-)
Thanks Everybody!!!

There are some natural sodas on the market that we drink when we're in the mood for soda, though truth be told we don't drink much soda in this house. I believe the brand we drink is the Whole Foods 365 brand, but don't quote me.

There's also organic cola at Trader Joe's that's really delicious. They've got organic root beer too.

As for coke being vegan... I think it is technically. Isn't it made with high fructose corn syrup? Is there actually sugar in it?

Seltzer is awesome and healthier than most other sodas.

[capersmama]

just plain seltzer?

[HimuraLain]

Yeah, baby. You better believe it. Or you could get the flavored kind, if you want.

Knudsen's -- you can get them in Kroger's that have a health food section -- and probably lots of other places. They are good!

[capersmama]

darn :-( no Krogers near me
Noone knows if Coke or possibly 7 UP are vegan?

[HimuraLain]

Diet coke is vegan. I forgot about seven up, but check the ingredients. If it doesn't say sugar, it's vegan.

I stay away from diet drinks..Ive heard from sources that the "fake " sugars they use ..turn into a type of Formaldehyde (sp?) when consumed and processed by the body.

[HimuraLain]

I just remembered, Fresca and some brands of orange soda are vegan.

[capersmama]

thanks..I will have to check that out! :cool:

One more warning about drinking sodas, vegan or not. The phosphoric acid they use is very poisonous to the body, creating a ph balance problem in the blood. It's one of the most acid producing things a person can consume. The high acid promotes a host of illnesses.

This info was from a book by Dr. Robert Young and I'm paraphrasing, but there ya go.

Be careful of diet soda, as said before...Fresca, I don't think is a diet soda, but still contains Aspartame...aweful stuff.
