Coke and Pepsi alter recipe to avoid cancer warning
Coca-Cola and Pepsi are changing the recipes for their drinks to avoid being legally obliged to put a cancer warning label on the bottle.
The new recipe for caramel colouring in the drinks has less 4-methylimidazole (4-MEI) - a chemical which California has added to its list of carcinogens.
The change to the recipe has already been introduced in California but will be rolled out across the US.
Coca-Cola says there is no health risk to justify the change.

I don't remember them actually...
More of the same issues?
And haven't they been saying for ages that Aspartame might be carcinogenic? (the not-sugar sweetener they use in Diet drinks)

California seems to plaster cancer warnings on EVERYTHING. My coworker was recently given a purse that was purchased in California for her birthday and inside was a label that said that materials used to make the purse "may cause cancer". WTF do people do with purses in California? Lick them?

I've been telling my friends forever that how we look at old black and white movies where everyone is smoking and wonder, well the future will look at renditions of our lifetimes and be like "they all drank WHAT!" Soda can single-handedly account for a lot of our health trend woes. Yes, people are lazy too, but just sayin.

I read an article that said the amounts they gave the mice to cause cancer would be equivalent to a human drinking 1000 cokes per day. I figure at that level, just about anything would cause cancer...
ETA: Actually, it's in that article, too...
