Default Believe it or not: Diet coke can kill sperms!

Quote:
Studies that suggested sodas such as Coke and Pepsi kill sperms and exotic lap dancers make more money when they are at peak fertility have been awarded the 2008 Ig Nobel prize.

In 1980s, when researcher Deborah Anderson of Harvard Medical School's birth- control laboratory discovered that "Coca Cola douches" were being used as a type of contraception at the all-girl Catholic boarding school she had attended in Puerto Rico, she decided to test it.

For the study, Anderson, medical student Sharee Umpierre and gynaecologist, Joe Hill mixed four different types of Coke with sperm in test tubes.

Is it only Diet Coke or normal coke too? I got more aerated drink in me than blood itself.

@imav & @iron

Relax. This study says that the other study (the one that says coke results in spermicide) is not too accurate. And this one also got the IgNobel prize this year.

So does this study.

However, avoid coke and pepsi.

Switch to healthy alternatives appy and tropicana juices.

For the coke and pepsi maniacs who have been shocked by this thread, eat black pepper
