Again, not pleasant news for you lovers of soft drinks. Section, The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), an agency monitoring food products based in Washington, declared that the color of caramel in soft drinks that circulate in the community can lead to cancer.
CSPI makes the claim that the colors they contain chemicals known to trigger cancer, carcinogenic. Caramel brown color that is used is made from corn sugar with the reaction between ammonia and sulfide under high pressure and high temperature. The reaction produces two chemicals such as 2-methylimidazole and 4-methylimidazole.
"The chemicals are formed in very small quantities, but has a very significant impact," said Michael Jacobson, CSPI's Director Exsecutive, as quoted by TIME page.
A study conducted in 2007 by the National Toxilogy program found evidence of carcinogenic activity occurred at 2-methylimidazole and 4-methylimidazole in male and female rats, and increases the formation of the seeds of cancer. In the human body, these two chemicals can cause leukemia, lung cancer, liver cancer and thyroid cancer.
However, the American Beverage Association said that the research has not been able to prove that the tumors that occur in mice can occur also in the human body. "Perhaps people have to drink 1,000 bottles of soda per day to get the same effect as the experimental mice," said Fred Gurengerich, a biology and chemistry researchers from Vanderbilt University.
