Experiment of Egg with Coca-cola

The blogger has received the following video and forwarded to some friends and e-buddies for information.  He is most grateful to the most-learned 'Great Sifu' Dr JB Lim who, in spite of his busy schedule in preparing his lecture notes and slides for an upcoming health talk, spontaneously responded to clear up the misinformation as reproduced below.

Dear Learned Lau,

I don't think this is correct. Neither do I say Pepsi and Coco Cola are good for health. The caffeine and sugars and additives in them are detrimental to health, NOT because they dissolve egg shell or cause osteoporosis.  This is not correct.

The caffeine in Pepsi and Cola like in coffee, are easily metabolized and broken down within 1 -2 hours by the body into harmless compounds. They do not remain in the body for months like that shown in the video inside a cup. What was demonstrated inside a cup is entirely different from what takes place inside a living body. Don't be misinformed.

It is very time consuming for me to explain to you at the moment as I am busy preparing my lecture notes and slides on "Genetically-modified Foods: The Challenges Amidst Fears" for an upcoming International Congress on Vegetarian Diet, the president and organizers have invited me to speak on. I have no time to answer your other question about HIV and pineapples until the congress is over on the 6th till 8th next month.  

This experiment on Coco Cola and the egg is terribly flawed, completely incorrect and very misleading.

Just don't believe everything people send you.
