In a previous post we reported that the Center for Science in the Public Interest filed a petition stating that the caramel coloring used in cola soft drinks and other foods was contaminated with a cancer-causing chemical and should be banned. This past March California passed a law mandating drinks containing a certain level of carcinogens come with a cancer warning label and some manufacturers changed their production for cola beverages sold in that state. As reported in USA Today, now an environmental group has claimed that the caramel coloring used in certain brands still contains a worrisome level of a carcinogen for drinks sold outside of California.
The chemical is 4-methylimidazole, or 4-Mel, which can form during the cooking process and, as a result, may be found in trace amounts in colas and other foods. The watchdog group The Center for Environmental Health found in its testing that certain cola products sold outside of California still tested positive for the chemical.
Because of the coloring, high fructose corn syrup and other additives in colas, a better choice if you’re looking for a healthy beverage is Syfo. Our Original Seltzer and Naturally-Flavored Sparkling Waters contain no artificial coloring or sweeteners. They are also free of sugar, sodium or preservatives and are made with purified water.
