Pesticides in Coca Cola and Pepsi
This so called pesticide cocktail in major colas is a cocktail indeed - a cocktail of politics, psuedo science, posturing and bad economics.
The background: The Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) claimed, in August 2003, that colas contained unacceptably high levels of pesticides. This caused a furore, with a major backlash against Coke and Pepsi. A Joint Parliamentary Committe was formed to probe the issue, and to see how to best regulate the issue.
