Yep, all you had to do was drink equilivent of an large swimming pool
of Coke every day for 20 years and you MIGHT get cancer from the
coloring.

Actually mostly California. They would have made them put a label on it like
they have to for any thing that might have a minuscule amount of lead in it.

Is it true? Do Polish Coke bottle say on the bottom "open other end"?

Do the other ones say "Czech six, and remember to duck!"

Can't find it now but I was reading something about coke the other day.
Varies all over the place according to how cheaply it can be made taking
into account what is permitted in each country. I gained the impression
most mainland Europe coke is less safe than the UK or USA but the safest
appears to be the Chinese version. Different sweetener. I drink about 10
cans a year so don't expect to die of it any time soon.

The coloring was FDA approved but headline grabbing CPSI went after it:

http://www.cspinet.org/new/201203051.html

CPSI is one of those public groups that takes their conclusions directly
to the press rather then subject the data to the scrutiny of the science
community. The press always welcomes groups like this that give them
headlines. I've seen CPSI do this before and would have little faith in
anything they say.

Guess Coke figured it was easier to cave in to them than fight them.

California's proposition 65 is what you would expect from the land of
the fruits and the nuts. All you have to do is warn that your product
contains something on their list. It does not necessarily prohibit its
use. You'll see labels on gas pumps, liquor stores, even bars with a
Prop 65 warning.

Read up on corn syrup and then ask yourself if you want your kids
intaking it like the national average does, it's in almost everything
now. Makes us fat, stupid, lazy and type II diabetes.
Jesus, next time you fill up your vehicle study the soda fountains at

Like you say, the Prop 65 warnings are one so many things that they're
useless. The lanyard on my camera came with a CA obligated warning.

It's been interesting watching the comments about Coke's decision as
though those of a particular political stripe are anti-California
regardless of the topic. Makes me wonder which kind of 3rd world
******** they're working toward. Or maybe China envy where they get to
dump their industrial waste into the food supply.

The fruits and nuts probably wanted to ban chemicals known to the state
of California to cause cancer outright, but settled for a warning sticker.

Oh, and like the gp post, I'd would mind seeing Coke pull their products
to show CA who's boss. It might be fun to find out what their BOD would
think about abandoning a market of 37 million people.

There are things on the Prop 65 list that if banned would devastated
California's economy. Acetaldehyde in grapes is one example. Imagine
banishing the wine industry from the state.
