I understand that Coca cola (and Pepsi) are changing their syrup because something in it caused cancer in some poor lab rats or mice. I also heard that someone would have to drink 1,000 cans of pop a day to get this cancer, but the companies have to change either their product or put new labels on all their products. I hope this new syrup doesn't change the taste, or maybe I should hope it does change it. I would loose some weight if I would stop craving Coca cola, guess I will just have to wait and see what it taste likes when it comes out.

Thank you for agreeing with me. I do believe that the scientist are in the mercy of donations, so people with the power pay them to keep their merchandise quiet. That way others products are in the for-front, and the bad products are kept hush-hush. I don't know if it can be proven, but even if it could, that would probably be paid off too. I believe we are at the mercy of the big and powerful.

They can change any ingredient, it won't be a healthy drink. But there is so much toxic additive in all kinds of processed food, that they could be blamed all together.
I don't think that someone who otherwise eats healthy, exercises and successfully handles stress would risk having cancer because of drinking Coca Cola sometimes.

I heard about it too, that's why I'm not drinking these beverages anymore. Speaking of cancer, I recently received an email telling that processed foods, meat, foods in the fast food chains are also the reasons of this ailment. I asked myself, what would I eat then? The I thought to myself, it's time to go back to the old and natural. Fruits and veggies from our own garden where we are sure that they are fresh.
