PEPSI--COKE

PEPSI--COKE

Too hot,no water, how to quench my thirst in this small village,I murmured. There came a reply"don't worry sir,there is Coke and Pepsi kept in ice box in our small bunk.You can happily gulp."
This is India. We are poor by water but rich by coke. I tried ti analyse to the best of my ability, where this richness is leading to.
Two American companies, during 1990-91 came up with a paid up capital of Rs.10 crores,let it not please be mistaken as dollars,to India.They have now 64 units spread out all over the country with systematic transportation facility to every nook and corner.
It is believed that the ex-factory cost of the drink is Rs.0.70 or even less than that. Once this production cost was Rs.0.40. These companies spend lavishly on sponsoring national and international events conducting in our country coupled with print audio, video media advertisements.
Assuming this cost to be about Rs.2.30, in real terms, the cost on the stand should come to Rs 4 or 5 per bottle of 200 ml. including profits at all ends.where as it is sold @12|= if I am correct, with pay back of Rs.4 if the glass bottle is returned. They produce 7oo crore bottles from their units and the total production cost will necessarily come to Rs. 2100 crores, and Rs.3500 of profit there on p.a.
They are very big public sector companies in US with their business spread all over the world. Despite its gigantic stature and large turnover it is not listed in the Indian Stock Exchanges for the very simple reason that if they get listed they have to abide by the SEBI rules and regulations. In such case they should they should disclose every fact which they consider to be a trade secret. They will have to fore go the tax rebates. Hence they could maintain the the secrecy of their so called 'Formula.'
It is understood that the said drinks contain 21 varieties of poisons(may be slow).A few of them are mentioned here under :
1. Mono sodium glutamate or sodium glutamate: Scientists are skeptic about its negative reaction on the human body and still the research is on.
2. Potasiumsorbate: May cause Skin, eye, respiratory irritation
3. Brominated Vegetable oil: It is observed by the US Food and Drugs Administration that a person consuming 2 to 4 liters. of  of a soda containing BVO on a daily basis experienced memory loss,tremors,fatigue,loss of muscle coordination,headache and gradual deterioration in the ability to walk.
4. Methyl Benzene : Should not be inhaled. More used in paints and thinners. Can cause tiredness, confusion, weakness,drunken type actions,memory loss, nausea,loss of apatite, hearing and
color vision loss.
5. Sodium Benzoate: It is added to many foods with a pH4.5 or lower(The more lower the more dangerous. Explanation follows at the end.)in edible products like pickles, ketchup and so called soft drinks. It is also added to tooth pastes creams and other cosmetic products which make the skin vulnerable to absorb the chemical in small percentages. The effect vary according to the climatic conditions of the country.Scientists say that one known cancer danger exists related to Sodium Benzoate.
6.Endosulfan: It is used around the world to control insects and pests. Across thew world there is a ban on this chemical. It acts as endocrine disruptor, enhances the effects of estrogen and may cause cancer also, it is said. It is also said that it may promote proliferation of human Brest Cancer cells. The USEPA classifies it as 'Highly Acutely Toxic. It may also retard human development. Unfortunately India stands first both in production and consumption in the world.

Now let us look a little about pH.
pH is the measure of acidity versus Alkalinity. It ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral viz., neither acid nor base.Pure water has a pH 7. pH means 'pouvior Hydrogen' in French and in English it is called 'Hydrogen potential.' A pH5 is 10 times as much stronger as the one with pH6.

It is said to have been noticed that the pH of the said drinks,is the same as any toilet cleaner like 'harpic' etc. That is why Baba Ramdev used to shout 'Thanda (coke was once upon a time being called like that.) mane Toilet Cleaner.'
These are the few chemicals I have come across through Google,books and journals. One thing we can say for sure that the more aerated water we take in the more we are dumping Carbon-DI-oxide as against Oxygen into our body. Also it is said that the so called soft drinks sold in India are 40% more poisonous than those sold in US.

We are to be ashamed to have public figures of our country like film actors and cricketers endorse these drinks in print and video media for lumps of money discarding their patriotism and the fan following.

It is now for the people to decide to touch drinks at the cost of their health.
