So. Diet Coke kills sperm on contact. We thought you should know.We feel sort of shocked, and also sort of remarkably unshocked.
Scientist Deborah Anderson and her team have been awarded one of this year's Ig Nobel Awards from Improbable Research for their work on both Coca Cola Classic and Diet Coke's contraceptive qualities.
Will this knowledge ever come in handy? Well, with a desperate situation and a little yoga, anything is possible. Never say never, right? Okay, yeah, maybe this once.
Other things we bet kill sperm: Jagermeister, Ramen Noodle broth, Tang, and everything at Taco Bell.

But hey, who am I to stand in the way of scientific investigation and progress...

If Diet Coke were a contraceptive, which I doubt, why in the hell do we have some spoiled rotten kids running around this planet??? If you ever had a lunch with a fat friend, and they did the following, "I'll have a McDonald's #1, super size that btw...and a Large Diet Coke"....well, those fat people have kids too...I'm guessing Diet Coke had zero effect on their reproductive abilities. thank you

It is poison and if you drink it long enough you will get Luekemia. This is a fact that coke is spending billions on supressing. Dont risk your health, ask any cancer dr. well ask any honest cancer dr. They will tell you it is deadly.
