IT'S DANGEROUS (Left) : Members of the Rahul-Priyanka Brigade attempting to give Coca-Cola to a horse in Hyderabad yesterday. They demanded that the Government of Andhra Pradesh ban the sale of the soft drink in the state. Indian MPs called for a ban on the sale of Coca-Cola and Pepsi Co, after a study said the giant US brands contained unacceptable levels of insecticides.

this is more kopitiam material rather than health and fitness? if the thread can be kept to a health discussion, i'll leave it here if it deviates in anyway from health i'll move it.

in anycase, chances are the sugar will kill you before the insecticide.

not sure, cause it affects the health afterall. the sugar is already enough to kill and now with excessive insecticides you die even faster, no?

the thing is that coke is supposed to be the same now as it was 10 years ago, so if there are insecticides now. if there have been any reports indicating that insecticides in dangerous amounts have been found in blood tests which can directly be linked to the consumption of coke then theres cause to worry, otherwise meh.

i dont drink soft drinks anyway.

the aspartame is a neurotoxin from most of the soft drinks or soda.

aspartame is in a lot of protein powders too. beware big boys.

its in herbalife too, becareful herbalife users.

oh yeah... that's why i had stopped it for sometimes. my skin show some kind of complex acne at particular part. It is getting better now.

got it, thanks guys (& girls if any)
