Wow. Not that I drink the stuff, but I wish those who did would listen and assimilate all this info out there that should convince them to abstain. The question also asks that perhaps US coke and pepsi are no different, but that our testing standards are lower?

Whenever I read something like this, I try to be objective and get both sides of the story. Don’t get me wrong, any soda especially diet soda (ASPARTAME!!!) is really bad for you. But I still think people should consider the validity and if there are any political motives with this report. So reporting responsibly should include not broadcasting something that may not be substantially proven, even when we know that soda is horrible for you.

This video isn’t true, it’s a publicity stunt because people in India hate coke for their plants poisoning the environment and drying up local water supplies. They’re doing everything they can to discredit it.
There isn’t enough pesticide in this coke to do anything to bugs, it’s in the parts per trillion. Or around 1 drop in an Olympic swimming pool.
While I AGREE all sodas are pretty lousy to drink, this isn’t one of the reasons for that. It’s the HFCS and Tap Water used in the creation of them that makes them junk.
In the old days Coke used natural cane sugar, and spring water. It was actually pretty tasty and not as bad for you. (although not very good either) But profits motivate companies to cut corners, which always result in a negative impact on consumers.. It’s all about the money.

When I first watched this video I was shocked. The biggest problem is there’s very little corporate regulations on any products in the majority of other countries. The Philippines is one of the worst, our food corporations are literally doing science experiments with them.

Insects are attracted to sugar. Spraying a field with Cola would attract ants and other insects like crazy. Why are activists always willing to lie to get people to buy into thier BS? By the way organic farming is a huge scam, if every farm was organic we would have a huge famine. Ever noticed that organic produce is way more expensive, and smaller and less tasty?
