        Today one of the articles I read on Commonplace was about Coke Zero. The title of the article was, Coke Zero, The Deadliest Beverage… or So They Say. I decided to read this article because it sounded interesting and I am someone who drinks a moderate amount of Coke. I have heard all this stuff about how pop is terrible for you and it is pretty much poison. I have heard this a lot but this article was about exactly that. The people who wrote the article went down the list of ingredients on a Coke Zero bottle and talked a little about each ingredient. The author did a good deal of research and was saying how all the ingredients in the Coke are perfectly safe. All the research was backed up by the FDA and was really convincing proof. The article was basically describing the ingredients in Coke and saying how they are actually not bad for you. Although they even said they aren’t saying that it isn’t necessarily good for you but it is not as harmful as everyone says. If you drink pop in moderation it will not affect your health. I do drink pop but not very often so it was good to see that the ingredients aren’t actually bad for you and that it is okay drink pop in moderation. For my second article I read, Its our Illegal Right. It was about how college student should be able to download music for free. I didn’t really find this article all this interesting. Most people already download all their music for free anyway so  I didn’t really like the article.
