Carcinogen found in Coke, Pepsi products, advocacy group warns

This is just more scare reporting that ignores the facts. This is like the "Alar" (daminozide) in apples report from the 80's. Back then a "Consumer advocacy" group reported that apples had small amounts of this product on them. It was described as a dangerous carcinogen, but testing was not complete ,and in fact more extensive test showed that in order for the exposure to be dangerous the average person would have to drink 5000 gallons of apple juice in one day. And for the chemical in this report to be dangerous you would have to drink 1000 cans in a day. These scare reports ignore the fact that we are surrounded by naturally occurring carcinogens (such as sunlight - and aflatoxin (peanuts) - and tannins (coffee & tea)). Small exposures do not harm people.

At such concentrations, one has to wonder why bother in posting such "alarming" news
