The common perception is that the contamination is at the ground water level, and the colas are contaminated, albeit very minutely, due to the water content. However, this is far from the truth. Both Pepsi and Coke’s bottled water products, Aquafina and Kinley have not been found to contain pesticide. The pesticide content is due to the sugar, which is contaminated, like virtually every other agricultural product.
The cola wars are heating up although Pepsi and Coke are on the same side this time. New evidence has been found regarding the adulterating ingredient. Arjun at The Indian Economy Blog explains that it may actually be more harmful to drink coffee or eat apples.
