Coca-Cola and Milk; Why You Should Not Drink These Two Simultaneously

This post is about what happens when you dare to mix the most commonly drunk liquids in the world- Coke and milk. I watched an experiment which involved mixing Coca-Cola and milk and was very curious about what I saw. So I read a bit on it.
So what is really happens when Coca-Cola and milk mixes? Basically, the acid in the Coke curdles the milk. The curd formed is normally regarded as non-absorbable because of its insolubility.

Here’s the chemical equation for the reaction:

3Ca + 2H₃PO₄ —> Ca₃(PO4)₂ + 3H₂

 I know of an engineer friend who would not take any soft drink because some studies have suggested that the high levels of phosphoric acid in soft drinks like Coke can increase the chances of osteoporosis for people who don’t get enough calcium in their diet.

Coca-cola makes an excellent household detergent - it can be used to take tarnish off of pennies and to degrease car engines.
