Cancer Drink, Anyone?
The FDA recently identified five grocery-store beverages that contained high levels of cancer-causing benzene in specific production lots of the drinks. According to the Associated Press account of this public health concern, “The companies that make the drinks have been alerted and either have reformulated their products or plan to do so, the FDA said.” The five drinks listed by the government were Safeway Select Diet Orange, Crush Pineapple, AquaCal Strawberry Flavored Water Beverage, Crystal Light Sunrise Classic Orange and Giant Light Cranberry Juice Cocktail.
It makes me wonder what we really do to ourselves, many times unwittingly, when we consume these so-called “drinks”. Seems to me a more apt name might be chemical cocktails.
