Venezuela bans Coca-Cola....

What next? Maybe they'll outlaw the sales of bagels....

Venezuela's health ministry banned the sale of Coca-Cola Zero, claiming the no-calorie soft drink contains harmful ingredients.

Health Minister Jesus Mantilla said that the ban was aimed at "preserving the health of Venezuelans," but he did not specify what ingredients were purportedly harmful.

Mantilla told the state-run news agency Wednesday that the ban was effective immediately.
