Sodium Benzoate can be found in Coke and Pepsi, and now it has been linked to damage to DNA.

Is nothing safe anymore?

Coke and Pepsi are garbage anyway. Although, there are a couple things it is good for: cleaning blood off pavement @ accident scenes, making girlie rum drinks and cleaning toilets.

I have decided not to care about any of studies about foods and whats healthy or not. Studies always find out that you will be damaged by eating this or that..

Eventually everything is not healthy if used in excess amounts.

And we die anyway, why not enjoy the life while waiting?

Anything  can kill you if you consume too much of it.

Moderation is the key.

Soda was already known to be detrimental to calcium fixation in bones.
It's not like you can't replicate/improve just about any soda recipe at home.

BREAKING NEWS: Oxygen is a dangerous gas that can damage and kill cells. Also dihydrogen monoxide has been found to be dangerous, which may cause cells to burst; especially the vulnerable brain cells.

IIRC, sodium benzoate combined with ascorbic acid can create benzine in some soft drinks. Sodas like Squirt or other acedic flavors had much higher levels of benzine than others.

Some soda makers have reformulated their recipies to avoid the formation of benzine in their product.

This isn't a left or right issue, food safety effects all of us.

I've not drank soda pop in 20 years. I can't stand the sugar taste.  Water, milk, fruit juice, tea or beer, in no particular order. :D

First off,what part of DNA do you not understand?
If your dna is messed up "by whatever" it means you pass that funked up DNA unto your offspring.

After a few generations, you get flipper kids.

Make no mistake, it is coming to the point where we as a race, are no longer pure.
We are changed,deformed..mutated.

And if people like you keep on doin' thing the way we are,with this mindless "I wont be around to see it."
This race wont last much longer.

How long will it be untill jacked up DNA stops us from having offspring?
and even so, will they be "normal" or useless deformations of mankind?

ALSO, most of you are thinking in terms of "Too much of anything kills/hurt you."

I myself am thinking more in terms of long term DNA damage,unchangeable..unreversable. "What's done..is done."



"Yeah just keep on thinkin' it my fault, and stay an' inch or two at kicking distance, mankind has got to know..its limitations"

Exactly right.

I gave up all soda just over a year ago.  Dropped 7 pounds.

Its amazing, in hindsight, to see how many dang calories those things have in one little can/bottle.

After spending a great deal of time doing a lot of cardio work and seeing how much it takes to burn off a few hundred cals....I just cant beleive I used to guzzle one or two Pepsi/Cokes a day with lunch/late night snack.

Even the diet stuff is bad.

Im hooked on Green tea lately...the kind you brew  :)

(Be careful when you buy regular green tea in the bottle.  Some brands use high fructose corn syrup to sweeten the tea...80~90 calories right there)

Soda [size=12]MAY[/size] be linked to damage to the DNA.  I won't think anything of this study until they are willing to risk being definite.
