Can vegetarians drink Coke?
Yes, vegetarians can drink Coca-Cola as it does not contain any meat or animal byproducts in its ingredients. However, it is important to note that some Coca-Cola products may be manufactured on the same equipment as other products that do contain animal products, which could potentially lead to cross-contamination. Additionally, while the original formula of Coca-Cola did once contain coca leaf extract (which comes from coca plants), modern Coca-Cola no longer contains any cocaine or other psychoactive substances derived from these plants. Therefore, consuming Coca-Cola should not pose any direct health risks to vegetarians due to their dietary restrictions.
