Dear Sir, It is shocking to know the high levels of pesticides in these packaged drinks,
But my question whether these pesticides are added by the Cola Companies or are they existing already in the ground water of the country.
It is justified to ban the Cola majors if the former is correct. However, it is not a bright idea if latter is the case. Then the govt will have to ban all sorts of drinks including mineral water
Distilled water will then be our only choice.
We need to find the root of the problem. regards Hari.

those who advocate the theory that pesticides are not added by Cola companies and is found in ground water they use, should know the following.
1. There are technologies available that can get rid of all pesticides from ground water. 2. The pesticides in ground water is present in other countries also, still Cola companies in those countries make sure to reach safe level of pesticides in their products. 3. The cola companies need to adhere to the law of land.
the only reason Cola companies in India deliver their product with pesticides is because law is lax. Milk, water and vegetables have pesticides so Cola companies don't care about the high pesticide content in their products also.
