@美食上海站: “Attention, everyone don’t drink Minute Maid’s Pulpy Orange Juice”. Coca-Cola has admitted that its orange juice contains agricultural fungicide carbendazim, which is prohibited in the United States, though the concentrations do not exceed limits. However, experts say carbendazim can cause brain damage and liver tumors. Orange juice sold in Hong Kong is also included, and Hong Kong’s Food and Environmental Hygiene Department is currently investigating. Experts indicate that carbendazim is like other agricultural chemicals and have the most effect on the brain, and can cause partial paralysis. For everyone’s health, forward this to your loved ones!

The best advice is not to consume soft drinks. They contain so many chemicals that we don't even know of.

Recently I learned that sodium benzoate, a very common preservative in soft drinks, when mixed with ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), chemically reacts to produce benzene, which is a proven carcinogen.

Coca-Cola should be boycotted for using a prohibited fungicide in its orange juice. Small doses accumulate over time and their deleterious effects are devastating.
