Is there any harm/benefit in drinking cold drinks, specifically soft drinks? If yes, then what are they?

Harmful cold drink,pretty much…Have you heard of the green liquid which is known a“gamefuel”Yes..Legendary Mountain dewThe original formula was invented in 1940 by Tennessee beverage bottlers Barney and Ally Hartman. Bill Bridgforth revised that method in 1958 and sold the rights to the Tip Corporation of Marion, Virginia.William H. “Bill” Jones of the Tip Corporation further developed the formula, creating the version of Mountain Dew that we all know and love. Pepsi-Cola company purchased the rights to the “Green Monster” and began mass producing it in 1964.Let's start with pH :Battery acid (pH=1),Coke/Pepsi (pH = 2.5),Mountain Dew (pH =3)You know what a 3means!!Ain't you??A man sued pepsico that he found a dead rat in his mountain dew can and even showed this evidence to Pepsi Co owners and judge in the court, and their rsponse was that the mouse would have “dissolved in the soda in the time between bottling and consumption, turning it into a jelly-like substance.”Does this not scare you?GMO IngredientsIf none of the other things above scare you then maybe this will wake you up.Mountain Dew contains:GMO soy and corn,BVO (banned in Europe and Japan), acidSodium benzoate (preservative that reacts with Dew’s vitamin C to create carcinogens),Yellow dye (made from coal tar)and BPABut don’t worry, Pepsi Co wants you to know that these ingredients all together aren’t dangerous.“This (BVO) is a safe ingredient approved by the FDA, which is used in some citrus-based beverages. Importantly, consumers can rest assured that our products are safe, and our industry adheres to all government regulations.”The Long-term EffectsNo, but it certainly is increasing the chances for people to develop serious health problems. But we can avoid the fact and merely say“but, it’s only soda.”In good terms, it is a creation that should never have left the labNext time you think of drinking a soft drink think about this,instead you opt for a fruit juice nearby which is 100times healthy for your body with no side effects in the futureEdit:BPA stands for bisphenol A. BPA is an industrial chemical that has been used to make certain plastics and resins since the 1960s. BPA is found in polycarbonate plasticsand epoxy resins. Polycarbonate plastics are often used in containers that store food and beverages, such as water bottles

What are the 'Agents' Of the Fourth Industrial Revolution?

Technology is always overhyped early. It’s why Garter has their hype cycle:One reason is that technologies evolve together. I built a cloud communications business. We did OK. But it was projected to surpass $5 Billion annually 15 years ago on the way to $50 Billion—the fastest growing technology service market ever. It might get to $5 B in 2019.Why? Because of wireless and the freak deal of Cingular agreeing to sell the iPhone, and then AT&T agreeing to keep selling it when they acquired Cingular. If not for those two things, we’d all be paying AT&T and Verizon $10 a month to use shitty maps on shitty phones and probably sitting in front of Windows PCs for everything else. Major change is unpredictable.So, on to 4IR. I use the term (like Mark Benioff). I know it’s cringy, but there’s so much going on that you can’t describe it without a cringy buzzword.The primary technologies of 4IR are ML/AI, AR, IoT, and improving mobile networks (including 5G). Blockchain is sort of in there, but I believe it has limited impact until there’s a mass societal upheaval, which I think will happen but it could be 50 years. It’s impossible to know that looks like: it’s easy enough to envision a utopian path or a dystopian one for any entity (a person, country, business, social group) but not the spectrum in between. And everything is intertwined.I think the key 4IR agent is ML/AI. I’m working on a company now where we’re creating synthetic human business agents. What we’re doing could eliminate 10 million US jobs. Or not. It depends how things evolve.In a way, ML is already running the world. If someone hacks the Facebooks News Feed algorithm with a fake video it could start World War 3. An algorithmic FOREX trade gone bad could set off a chain reaction of unimaginable chaos. Etc.AR can also upend society in a blink, powered by ML. Facial recognition with dossiers feeding a stealthy display in glasses that look normal so you’re getting continual information like the Terminator. Insane ramifications—even without the ones related to total surveillance.Digital printing is huge in its way. Renewable energy. Etc. Composites. Storage. Etc. So many things that make up 4IR.Till now, technology is mostly an amplifier. The telegram made communications faster. TNT, gunpowder, nuclear bombs—all made bigger bangs. Now, ML and AR plus all the sensors that feed them fundamentally change how and what we perceive as reality,—and therefore change our reality.
