to the presence of sodium benzoate. In india they are now banned. They say it has pasticides. Please tell me the truth on all this. I'll appreciate if you give all the details on everything.

It's not just Coke and Pepsi in India, but also Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Mirinda Orange, Mirinda Lemon, Blue Pepsi, 7-Up, Coke, Fanta, Limca, Sprite, Thums Up, which have residues of 4 contaminants lindane, DDT, malathion, chlorpyrifos, which can cause cancer and reduce bone mineral density. (See the source).
As for coke or pepsi found anywhere else, try this experiment yourself. Get a piece of steak or chicken or some other meat. Put one piece in a can of coke; the other in beer. In a short while, the one in the coke will have dissolved. Draw whatever conclusions you want from this.

It is the phosphoric acid that dissolves the enamel. Sodium benzoate is a different chemical. The 2 companies are a significant market and I can't see them not challenging a ban.

I stopped drinking Coke and Pepsi years ago when I was shown that it could be used to clean typewriter rollers. If you pour it on a tar roof, it will eat a hole in the tar.
Do you STILL want to put something like THAT into your body?

TRUE TRUE TRUE... it is really bad for us! They have said for awhile now that the darker sodas are not good for us... as someone mentioned above about limescale, I read it can remove rust... that seams like more of a chemical than a beverage I want to drink...

People have been drinking both for 50+ yrs, I would think by now bodily hram would have shown-up. Ofcourse, there could have been a contaminated batch sometime during that period.

Yes, find any old tooth & soak it in one of them.
You'll be surprised at what you learn.
