Title: Coke, Pepsi tweak colour process to avoid 'carcinogen' label

Coca Cola and Pepsi will make a manufacturing process modification for the soft drinks caramel colouring to avoid a California law that would have forced them to label the drinks carcinogenic.

Coke, for one, insists it is not "changing our recipe or formula in any way."

"The Coca-Cola Company asked its caramel suppliers to make the necessary manufacturing process modification to meet the requirement of the State of California’s Prop 65," company spokesman Ben Sheidler said in a release. "As a result, no warning is required.

"While we believe that there is no public health risk that justifies any such change, we did ask our caramel suppliers to take this step so that our products would not be subject to the requirement of a scientifically unfounded warning."

And those changes "do change our product. The caramel color in all of our products has been, is and always will be safe."

An American watchdog group accuses the world's two biggest beverage makers of using unsafe levels of a chemical called 4-MEI they say has been linked to cancer in animals.

Those Californians always looking out for everyone.  Good thing they don't have anything else to worry about.

Coke has been around for how many decades now?  Any definitive proof that the color agent caused cancer in any Coke drinkers?  Any?  One?  Bueller?

It should be noted that according to the State of California, being born increases one's risk of dying by 100%.  Women and minorities most severely impacted.

::laughonfloor::

So I guess if one is aborted before birth, the risk of death after birth goes to 0%?

Hell , there's no definitive proof of a single person getting lung cancer from passive cigarette smoke but they still scream about it .

That much talked about earthquake to end all earthquakes cannot come soon enough.

CA needs the Sodom/Gomorra treatment.

If the Iranians nuked it would that be an act of war or a mercy killing?

Come on guys,  there may be a lot of fruits, nuts, and flakes in California, but there are some conservatives here too.  At least give me a heads up before this place is leveled.

That people actually believe this crap is stunning...who the hell is going to drink 1000 cans per day to get at the same level as the rats in this study were exposed to?  Seriously, people are too stupid to live.
