Ease Stomach Upset
When feeling ill with an upset stomach, many of us have likely reached for a can of Coca-Cola. The carbonation helps alleviate stomach acid, which often contributes to reducing nausea. Interestingly, phosphoric acid is not only a key component in Coca-Cola but also in various anti-nausea medications. This shared ingredient may explain why the soda seems to provide relief for some people during bouts of stomach discomfort.
