  1. That’s a great exposition, don’t knw if coca cola is a food, but I do knw it causes “flatulence”, 2much of it mks me fart a lot, is it becos of d gas content or do I need my instestine 2 grand the liquid 2? Thanks anyways 4 informing us regularly on foods n nutrition.

    1. @ james, yes Cococola can make certain people fart because of the gas content but your fart may not be smelly. As regards if Cocacola is Food, Yes it is. Anything that supplies energy and nutrients to the body can be said to be food.

  2. Milk… just all of a sudden I became milk intolerant. I used to consume a lot of beans and milk. But the milk is now my problem cos I cant just stop takin it and keep frating

    1. Well, milk does that in certain people. However, if you love milk, you could substitute milk for soy milk. It is healthy and cheap. check on our page to read on how to make soy milk at home.

  3. Tanks for all d info, God bless you. I have also observed eating Egusi (melon) soup makes me fart so much and the odour…very horrible..
