3 Unusual ways junk food can be used - With Scientific Experiments(Featuring new author @steemist)
People usually look at junk food as some kind of worst thing to put in their body. Some of them even think that eating junk food might lead to cancer and will eventually take them to death. Well, in most cases, you can affirm their saying but in some cases, you just can't agree with them. It may sound too good to be true if I tell you that you can use junk food to take-care OR heal yourself.
I pondered what is more common in modern world on almost daily basis and after contemplating about it, now I've decided to talk about coca-cola, chewing-gum and popcorn. Without wasting our time, lets get to know what are those 3 ways and which junk foods are exceptions.
Coca-Cola Helps Treating Stomach Blockages (Proven With Experiment):

Despite the fact that cocacola faced much criticism because of the sugar water supplied within cocacola which caused obesity rates to skyrocket. But you might be amazed if you didn't know it before that forbes still recognize coca-cola as top 4th most valuable brand in the world and even beating facebook, toyota and disney.

After having some heavy junk food, you should take at-least 1 big glass of coca-cola to save yourself from stomach blockages, because you know why? Lets get to bits of research:
Researchers looked at 24 papers in which there were around 46 cases of patients having some serious stomach blockages problems due to some indigestible parts of fruits and vegetables which could cause great pain to them. Half of those patients tried coca-cola and viola, it was all which was needed to treat this pain. They recovered!
Only 4 of those patients went through surgery. Researchers further explained that coca-cola has 91.3% success rate in such stomach blockages problems.

So, what should you do? Whenever you take some junk food or even if you take heavy food, then you should drink at-least 1 glass of coca-cola. And, if you're already having stomach blockage problem, then go treat it easily. Try some coca-cola but make sure to keep it limited. You're not supposed to drink dozens of glasses in one go like some crazy people. One 250 ML to 330 ML bottle is enough at a time or you might end up in other problems, lol.
Sugar-Free Chewing-Gum: Experiencing heartburn? NO MORE! (Proven):

We hear lots of people complaining that they experience great deal of heartburn and cannot even enjoy few burgers and barbeque. As soon as they finish to eat some, their heart starts to burn causing a problem called "heartburn". But after today, you might be able to ignore your worries, and start chewing some gums after eating some heavy meals like burgers etc whichever cause heartburn to you. It may sound awkward, right? Yeah! I wondered when I first came to know about it but well, it is proven.
In an experiment, 31 patients having heartburn problem were asked to fast for around 4 hours and then asked to eat some craziest, full of fat and heavy items including 2 bars of full-fat cheddar cheese, salad with two spoons of mayonnaise, 15 large chips and some other craziest things which could easily cause heartburn within minutes. After they finished eating those items, they were asked to chew sugar-free gum for around half an hour.
They monitored that acid level kept coming down when those (patients) participants chewed the gum for half an hour. If you don't know, high acid level is what cause heartburn which proves the point of healing heartburn through chewing-gum.

What should you do? Well, if you are one of those who experience heartburn then I'd suggest you to start chewing suger-free gums whenever you finish your meal, and chew it for around half an hour which will bring your acidic level to downwards and heal your heartburn problem. OR if you're not one of those patients, then remember: "Prevention is better than cure". You can also experiment this to yourself.
Popcorn: Junk Food Which Keeps You Healthy (Proven Research Included):

Yes, you read it correctly. It is commonly seen that most people buy some big packs of popcorns to enjoy entertainment in cinema, but most of them are not aware of the benefits offered within popcorns. Popcorn is something on which you can focus on weekly basis. You know why? because popcorns are considered healthy due to the fact that it is 100% unprocessed whole grain which is considered highly beneficial for human's health.
It is not just based on assumptions. It is based on complete research of Joe Vinson. Joe Vinson is a chemistry professor who announced this research at a meeting of ACS in which he revealed the untold benefits of popcorn.

If you try any of those ways and find beneficial, then I'll appreciate your feedback. Please take a note to "limit the quantity". Anything which is delivered in abnormal and excessive way might cause great dangers and may lead to serious health problems. As for cocacola, limit it specially due to dangerous acid included in that drink which might cause other health problems if someone drink coke in abnormal way. I'm sure you know about it already as a wise reader. Thank you for reading the post.

That's awesome... same as boiling water on a fire in a plastic bag...
Curious information, actually at his measured joust all is good, we all should eat a good hamburger, pizza, take beer, drink coca tail, sweets, ice creams ...Without abusing it , but it is necessary to enjoy the life!:P
My mother was giving me cola (with a spoonful of sugar to take out the fizz) as an upset stomach cure 60 years ago.
That's great to hear. And I hope it healed you. :)
Coke is also good for cleaning your toilet!

best use of coca-cola
Have you actually tried removing rust with a coke lately?
No, but … so to say - science with fun) to avoid my nephew from drinking Coka-cola my sister made an experiment. She put his milk tooth in a bottle of cola and in two or three days it disappeared and the paper clip disappeared in one week. You can try it yourself, if you don’t believe me) Or for example my friend works in car workshop of course there is oil everywhere on his clothes and his wife first soaked it in Coca-Cola to make his work clothes perfectly clean
A very interesting article!
I must say I congratulate you for making an article on "Health Benefits" of junk food!
I would also like to add some suggestions/perspective to the topic.
#1 Coca-Cola: Because it is so acidic is has the ability to break things down fast. This can be helpful but also unhealthy. In a situation such as a stomach problem it can be a solution however the BEST solution is to simply eat healthy foods where stomach problems are not common hehe.
#2 Pop-Corn maybe "healthier" than say "white bread" simply because it is a whole grain vs very very processed. However most popcorn is cooked in hydroginated oil of which is one of the most UNHEALTHY things that can be eaten as it can not be digested. It is actually very similar to plastic. This would be a GREAT time to drink EXTRA Coca-Cola ahhahhaha though again the healthiest thing is to simply NOT eat these foods to often. There are of course also many healthier whole grains that one could eat instead of popped corn if one really cared about health.
Thanks for the post it was very entertaining and I love seeing one look at the positives and not just negatives. I also have a book published on health called Full Spectrum Health if anyone is interested at all. I can even send a free e version if you send me an email.
Best Regards~*~
Coca-cola is highly acidic (has a low PH number) and what is why it actually helps digest junk food better than other drinks, even though it has other side effects, especially if you drink a lot (not only because of the high sugar content).
No wonder Coca-Cola does a lot of commercials with people drinking it while they eat... no wonder why it is also the preferred drink in fast food joints too :D
Any kind of Coca-cola increases obesity problems and several other bad side-effects.
Dont forget, you may just become a science expirament yourself after too many of those ;)
Thank you Sir! It's rum and coke and popcorn for me.
nice one ! Damn you took some time on that comment buddy
science always fun
