		<description>Spermicide or not, I still love my coke for its distinctive taste but it never occured to me that it may be a sperm-killer let alone an effective one.

Urban legend has it that it may certainly have those properties and I like the way Gavin puts it - anything goes.

How&#039;d they find that out about Coke anyway?</description>

		<description>Yes, it should be noted that these are mock scientific prizes. Soda may have some spermicidal properties, but then again just about everything is a spermicide--even time!

The article now hopefully makes it clear that partners should NOT rely on soda douches as a form of contraception.

In fact, douches may even push sperm from the sperm pool (which gathers after sex) toward the egg... certainly not achieving the desired effect.

For a fun bit of sex edutainment, take a look at &lt;a href=&quot;http://websrvr40nj.audiovideoweb.com/avwebdsnjwebsrvr4501/portal/media/media-050516-pregnancy.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this video&lt;/a&gt;.</description>

		<description>Scary this publication,
because we all get taught in highschool (Europe) that it is just one of the many myths, and using the cola-douche WILL GET YOU PREGNANT.

Cola is definitely NOT a spermicide, not matter what kind of wishfull thinking you add to it.

Use the goo that was designed to do this job.
(the stuf called &quot;spermacide&quot;, not the stuf labelled &quot;softdrink&quot;)

Only drinking cola instead of having sex might help.

With the extreme low level of sexeducation around the globe, this is one story that should not be encouraged.</description>

		<description>This Nobel prize was a parody; a joke. It was part of the IG Nobels, and it is not a real discovery.</description>

		<description>The sugar content alone is enough to make me give it a thumbs down. If I&#039;m not going to drink it, I&#039;m definitely not to go use it in my most intimately body parts!</description>
