    Is it true that Coca-Cola has the ingredient of guano (bat droppings) in it?

    Published accounts say Coke contains or once contained sugar, caramel, caffeine, PHOSPHORIC ACID, coca leaf and kola nut extract, lime extract, flavoring mixture, vanilla and glycerin.

    Phosphorus is wide-spread throughout the world in rock structures such as phosphate rock (Ca3(PO4)2) and the apatites. GUANO deposits found on islands frequented by sea birds are also an important source of phosphorus. The element is obtained industrially by the heating phosphate rock in sand (SiO2) and coke (carbon) in an electric furnace of 1450oC. The phosphorus produced is P4 and collected under water as white phosphorus.

    Why would they go through the trouble of collecting bat droppings?

    Gee, you think they use the phosphorus from bat guano, or the industrial version ?
