Just drink some orange-flavored soft drinks (called "fizzy drinks" in the UK) made by Coca-Cola. New research conducted in the UK reveals that Coca-Cola's "Fanta" orange drinks contained 300 times more pesticides than the legal limit allowed in bottled

water.The chemicals that were detected in the Coca-Cola orange drinks included carbendazim, thiabendazole, imazalil, prochloraz, malathion and iprodione -- all common pesticides used on fruit crops. That's good news in one sense, of course, because it means Coca-Cola products contain some level of actual fruit! Never mind the fact that the fruit is contaminated with pesticide chemicals...In its defense, Coca-Cola responded to the DailyMail article, saying, "All of the drinks tested meet the safety regulations relating to food products made from agricultural ingredients, which include drinks with fruit juice as an ingredient."Got that? They meet safety regulations, so don't worry about the pesticides. In fact, all those chemicals are perfectly safe, didn't you know? As Coca-Cola said, "The generally miniscule levels that were detected were well within the acceptable daily intake levels and these findings should reassure consumers

there is no safety issue here."Wow. I'm not sure what's more scary: The fact that these chemicals were detected as such levels in the Coca-Cola drinks, or the fact that Coca-Cola believes these levels are acceptable for daily consumption!Of course, we are talking about parts per billion here: DailyMail reports the average level of pesticide contamination in the Coca-Cola drinks was 17.4. But that turns out to be over 34 times the allowable level of pesticides in bottled water (EU standards).It's also worth mentioning that simply eating non-organic fruit from the grocery store most likely exposes you to hundreds of times the total pesticide contamination found in the Coca-Cola drinks (especially if you eat conventionally-grown strawberries).But hey, if you don't want to actually drink Coke's products, they can be used in another way: As a pesticide on crops! This YouTube video shows how farmers in India are using

soft drinks on their crops as pesticides: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Is4iuZt0eoYou may recall a scene much like this in the hilarious movie Idiocracy, which I still strongly recommend you watch if you want to see a glimpse of the future of America.
