Pesticides in Coca Cola another reason to stop drinking soda

Coca Cola
I hope you’ve read my reasons why diet soda is bad for you. I had to write about diet soda because a lot of people think drinking diet as opposed to regular soda is healthy, but it’s not. I also hope you know regular soda is bad for you, but here’s just another reason to prove how bad it is.

Some of Coca-Cola’s fruit based drinks (like Fanta) contain pesticides like those used to kill bugs, insects, grass and weeds. Read the warning label on pesticides and you’ll see under no circumstances should you ever put it in your body, and if you do by accident, call poison control immediately. How comforting is it that those same chemicals might be in your soda drink.

The Coca Cola company is dismissing this study, saying there is no need to worry about what they put in their soft drinks. They also said they will not be removing or changing any ingredients to try and solve this problem.

The report itself singled out soft drinks containing “relatively high” levels of pesticides. In the findings, the researchers claimed that scarce attention has been paid to pesticides in soft drinks derived from fruits and vegetables, despite strict regulations on use of the chemicals in other finished products.

A Coca Cola spokesperson said that the company was confident that all of its products tested were in compliance with safety regulations relating to agriculturally sourced ingredients. With this in mind, you better think twice before drinking your next soda.
