Hey, I was just wondering if Pepsi is really known to cause cancer, or pop/soda along that line. I'm just concerned a little about the fact that I hear it does, never did much to look into the sitaution, im just looking for your opinions on the topic. Thank you

As it is with other ingredients of Pepsi there is no danger of getting cancer. But they use a small portion of PESTICIDES as a preservative. So be cautious about Pesticides. Breast Cancer incidence are linked to pesticide exposure. The molecular structure of some pesticides closely resembles that of estrogen. This means they may attach to estrogen receptor sites in your body.
So it is better to avoid drinking Pepsi -

Im a USN Vet and my Dr. at the VA Hospital says to avoid drinking Pepsi and other soda pop because its harmful to the body, however I started drinking Pepsi when I was 12 years old and Ill be 55 years in July and I never had a problem attributed to Pepsi or any soda pop yet so go figure.

I've never heard this particular rumor. The one I heard was that diet soda in cans causes Alzheimer's disease. Some researchers found that Alzheimer's patients had a lot of aluminum in their brainstems or something like that. Then people thought, well, if cans are made from aluminum, and soda is very acidic...then the soda leaches aluminum from the cans and then you get Alzheimer's. AAAAAAHHHH!!! Sounds like an urband legend to me. Diet Pepsi can cause tooth staining, caffeine highs (and lows), bad reactions for people with phenylketonuria (if you drink the kind with aspartame), excess urination...but then, so does every other diet cola. It's not good for you, but I don't think it's a killer.

Posting a link to an article from the Boston Globe regarding a lawsuit filed in regards to Diet Pepsi's fountain drinks containing aspartame, once suspected of being a carcinogen. That may be the root of what you are hearing: http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2005/03/03/suit_alleges_deceit_in_fountain_diet_cola_drinks/

Actually nobody knows what are the causes of cancer, and it also depends on the people and genetic background for the cancer to develop.

Diet soda causes cancer I know that for sure. Normal soda takes way longer for it to cause cancer.

Diet soda for sure has stuff that causes cancer. Everything causes cancer though in the long run. I mean if you live long enough you will eventualy get cancer, that **** happens.

it probably does, but so do nalgene bottles, regular water bottles, many types of candy exct... so many thing are little tiny parts that can be a help of cancer cells but i really dont think if you drink alot of coke or pepsi that your definatly gonna get cancer. i think your safe to drink some pop, but def dont drink it tons.

This is reminding me of when House says "Ma'am do you have cancer?" *shakes her head no* he points to her drink and says "Mango juice cures cancer!"
I've heard this cancer theory about diet soda, but I think it is very unlikely. Didn't they say the same about Sweet 'N' Low?
