Soda Causing CANCER?

[fight2legalize]

High Fructose and Sugar is just as bad because you people eat so much of it. Aspartame is one of the worst.

[cbbbtc]

bullshit they always say everything gives u cancer the austrailian vegemite thought gave u cancer nope it doesent it was a mistake soda gives u cancer im alive and heathy are u guys dead from it ?? also they think palm oil gives u cancer i bet it doesent but they are testing so dont worry ok most of the tests are negetive.

[starmessenger]

KoFDee, you seriously need to look into getting therapy and treatment for your violent anger trait before you hurt someone, if you haven't already! Your response was not normal and not healthy.

[PeacexLovexRainbows]

I agree, this is just another example of dumb local news trying to create a big deal about anything they can get their hands on. But I have to remind you, schnitzcopter that just because all of these horrible carcinogens can be found in possibly all the foods we eat doesn't mean that we shouldn't give a rat's a** about it. Maybe you should get just as passionate about carcinogens found in food as you do about the carcinogens found in cigarettes.

[smoketweed09]

aspartame is deadly

its a sweetner

[schnitzcopter]

Steak has valuable nutrients and the mineral iron..soda is fine every once in a while but smoking is never fine for your health.

[Jen9987]

Also, you can get plenty of iron from spinach and other healthy sources, not just meats :) If you choose to eat meats, then the best meats for you are baked chicken and fish. Do not fry the fish, because more of the cancer causing agents are produced. Sorry guys, but steak has been shown to be associated with many health problems including cancer. Even the revised Canadian food guide says to stay away from it and choose meat alternatives as often as possible. Just looking out for your health

[KoFDee]

Jen9987 fuck off, frying fish "makes" a cancer causing chemical? that's just bull shit. what did you think "cave men" or people that living in the stone age lived off? it was meat. It's not the meat that rises the risk of cancer but the chemicals that the fucking industry's feed/put INTO the meat. Get your facts first you retard.

[Jen9987]

Did you read the articles that I posted? I backed up my claims with peer reviewed scholarly articles. You really have no idea what our primative ancestors lived off of. We are the only animals on the planet that cook our food. That doesn't strike you as strange? We feed our pets cooked pet food and kibble and now they are getting the same medical problems as humans. Arthritis, cancer, etc. Find a cat in the wild, there is no pet hospital or pet pharmacy. They eat raw food. You are the one who

[Jen9987]

needs to do your research. I have my facts straight, you are just to stubborn and brainwashed to accept or understand any of it. As a student studying to become a Dietitian, I am offering the knowledge I have obtained and researched to others who care about their health. So the positive advice i was offering to others, absolutely did not warrant your negative comments. Keep you unkind words to yourself, as i did not insult you personally. I am offering my knowledge.

[schnitzcopter]

This is just stupid scare local news. Do you think that people drink enough volume of this every day to cause a serious risk? Did you know that charcoal on a steak is a carcinogen? C'mon people...it's unavoidable. Why don't we worry about more important things, like cigarette carcinogens.

[RawBeauty4Life]

totally agree. Cancer is not unavoidable. Its called being knowledgeable and paying attention to the scientific studies versus what the meat and dairy industry try and brain wash you with. Those industries are money hungry, and don't care about our health. Its not only the charcoal on a steak that causes cancer, but cooking meat itself produces a cancer causing chemical, that gets broken down in the intestine, and causes cancer of the colon. people need to wake up.

[schnitzcopter]

Back up your claim with a legit study on that carcinogen in cooked steak being associated with colon cancer.

[Jen9987]

Alright sure I just wrote a research paper on this.

Search through google scholar: "Interplay between heterocyclic amines in cooked meat and metabolic phenotype in the etiology of colon cancer." & "Meat, cooking methods and colorectal cancer: A case-referent study in Stockholm."

& "Cancer risk of heterocyclic amines in cooked foods: an analysis and implications for research."

There are so many studies done, do some research on your own.

[schnitzcopter]

Sweeet. Very interesting! If only I had time to read more...:(

[nitrobrn]

Sodium benzoate included in Sunkist, Diet Coke, Sprite, Pepsi Max and many other drinks and condiments Peter Piper, a professor of molecular biology and biotechnology who has been studying sodium benzoate for eight years at Sheffield University, found that the preservative seriously damages living cells These chemicals have the ability to cause severe damage to DNA There is a whole array of diseases that are now being tied to damage to this DNA Parkinson's and quite a lot of neuro-degenerative

[angelcarmichael]

Can drinking pop really cause cancer?

[mandtrott]

aspartame is worse causes brain tumours/cancer found in most soft drinks

[devilpyro420]

sodium benxoate affect your DNA cells directly modifying DNA so they work in a complete different way do some research or wikipedia it to fin out!

[101Volts]

I think it would only be dangerous if you drank soda every day, And I do not drink soda every day.

[justicelyric]

so wrong, never heard no shit like that. bout milk meankookoo

[keytohealth]

Yes in deed the Milk sld in stores has engredients that causes Cancer. Fox news Reportes were fired because they told the TRUTH:

Do a YouTube searh for (Fox News Kills Monsanto Milk Story)

[justicelyric]

i will

[muahahaha]

soda is worse than smoking. in fact, just the color can give you metabolic syndrom

[iloveallecchianime]

its called sodium benzoate

[Morehh]

Thanks a lot for sharing this information. It is real and it is easily verifiable by anoyne who cares to really know what we are eating and drinking. To argue for the sake of it is IGNORANT if you care just google it.

[Jen9987]

Wow, someone who actually cares about what they put into their body, rather than just ignores it and pretends its just hype. Congratulations for taking charge of your health.

[Khalil86]

".ANYONE WHO BELIEVES THAT ANY MULTI-BILLION-DOLLAR-YEARLY INDUSTRY IS NOT AWARE OF EVERYTHING ABOUT THE CHEMISTRY OF ITS PRODUCTS IS NAIVE. The chemical reaction of sodium benzoate

and ascorbic acid help create the zing and addiction that appeals to

soft-drinkers. The soft-drink industry does not want to stop using it in some

products even if it causes or helps cause cancer in its customers. " - source: WeWant2Live dot com

[devilpyro420]

exactly yhis person above my comment is a modern day geniuos thank you for your comment.

[415joenathan415]

6 years old to 13 years old i drank soda my whole entire life, no water, lil milk n juice, i don't got cancer, dis whole thing is bull shit

[tg32uk]

You are VERY VERY naive. Knowledge is POWER, please may I suffest you read more.

[AQuispe2000]

Hello my Dear, I am really scare for you, as a clinical dietitian I can assure you that cancer cells can take 30 years to grow....have same common sense in your life for your own sake!

[bdeguz]

Wow, you must be a horrible dietitian.

[Pirhua]

Yeah, one that looks 35 at 51 and who does not need a dentist or a MD.... Same as my parents who are in their 80s

[angelcarmichael]

Can drinking soda everyday actually cause cancer?

[justicelyric]

well i drink water, and milk so to hell wit it.

[queencee1]

Me too!

[Tsull123]

Pay no mind to it...they said saccharin was carcinogenic but it turns out you'd need to drink like 3 bathtubs full of diet coke every day for 20 years for it to possibly have an effect. Plus corporations always look out for the health and well being of John Q. Public...if it's in their favor.

[fieryice4]

i'm in trouble

[butthole99]

Kathy Fowler is hot

[chelseakthx]

monster energy drink has removed benzene from its manufacturing because of such concerns.

[tiffsherwood]

Thanks for the info - I had stopped drinking it because of this - now I can drink it again! YEAH!

[MultiSpiderdude]

@tiffsherwood no more coke D:

[opendestiny]

Benzene has never been an additive to foods, due to it being a carcinigen. Its certain additives react in the soda, or during the manufacturing process.

[bdeguz]

Carcinogen*

[baldguyshow]

well blow me away!

[HypnotiseMezmerize]

grreeeaaatt..well its good i never drink soda.

[tiffsherwood]

Check the full description - I posted a list that the EWG put out.

[Coolerking3178]

...And it doesn't even mention what brands are high. Awesome!
