Parents sue over benzene in soft drinks

ebackhus · 04-12-2006, 09:05 AM

Don't know how to give your kid milk instead of Coke? Many stupid parents are suing because the soft drinks they've been shoving down their kids' throats may have cancer-causing amounts of benzene.

Clicky.

I've cut way down on soda. I wasn't allowed soda until I was a teenager. Now its mostly juice. Just another stupid lawsuit that we really don't need. They should turn these things down.

That really makes me sick when I see people giving their kids soda and cool-aid and then wonder why they're fat for their age. There are too many complex carbs in the foods in this country. I wasn't raised on soda either, and I have all my teeth because of it. The people I know who bought the 24 pack at CostCo a need root canals.

apparently some do.... STOP BLAMING SOCIETY! RAISE YOUR KIDS!

The TV is not a babysitter, and coke is not a healthy part of your day. Its a treat, not where you get 90% of your water and caloric intake from.

Anyone tried Polar Beverages or Zone Brands drinks? Not available around here. I suspect they are regional to the Atlanta area. I smell a lawyer looking for an easy buck.
