In one of my college events where I was a coordinator, the chief guest was some top executive from Coca Cola. And I innocently or rather accidentally served him Pepsi. And this was enough for him to take a dig at me and my team. When he was invited to say a few words over the stage, he thoroughly expressed his displeasure for being served a Coca Cola cold drink rather than Pepsi. I really thought that his reaction was unfounded. He was reacting as if we have served him some poisonous adulterated drink.
Enough of Pepsi vs Coke, let’s get back to our Pepsi review. What’s up with these Pepsi guys. The Delhi based Center for Science and Environment (CSE) reveals that it has conducted a study on samples of 12 major soft drink brands sold in the country for the residual levels of pesticides and found the levels to be far too high when compared with the same in the samples from developed countries (1). That means a pepsi in India or other developing countries is worse than a pepsi in other developed nations. And we all know that pesticides are serious carcinogens.
The average pH of Pepsi is 3.4, enough to dissolve your teeth and bones and cause kidney stones(2). In fact a chronic kidney disease is very common in the US and the reasons have been traced to Pepsi. Actually there is phosphoric acid in Pepsi which leads to dialysis(3). So it can be detrimental to Diabetes patients.
In fact pepsi has been used as a household cleaner, be it cleaning a toilet, removing rust spots from car bumpers, remove grease from clothes or to loosen a rusted bolt, everywhere Pepsi emerges a winner(4). I wonder what will this wonderful cold drink do when it gets inside your stomach.
