And as proof of such a claim, an older news broadcast breaking the news on this and interviewing some Indian farmers, has resurfaced online.
As alluded in that news break, the Centre for Science Environment (CSE) – an agency based in New Delhi, India – found that soft drinks under the Coca-Cola and Pepsi labels contain extremely high amounts of residue that are found in pesticides.
Going as far back as 2003, the agency analyzed some of the ingredients found in 12 different leading soda-pop brands, containing the residue of four toxic pesticides and insecticides: chlorpyrifos, malathion, DDT, and lindane.
The amount found for each were astronomical. The study found that chlorpyrifos was 42 times higher than what the European Economic Council (EEC) deemed permissible and safe. Malathion residue was 81 times higher than allowed. Lindane, one of the few chemicals that are banned in the U.S., were found to have 21 times the limit. Of course, any amount should raise an eyebrow.
Coca-Cola and Pepsi were found to have the highest concentrations of these toxic chemicals, at 45 and 37 times higher than the EEC limit.
The CSE noted that each sample tested was harmful enough to cause cancer, damage to the immune system, nervous system affliction, and causing birth defects and other reproductive issues.
It should be noted that last year the Biden administration finally empowered the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to ban the usage of chlorpyrifos, something the Trump administration had actually refused to ban even though strong evidence of its effects were presented to him and his team – a chemical that has claimed the lives of many, and has drastically harmed American’s health for decades.
The CSE tested other popular U.S. brands at that time, and while others did not contain these pesticide residues in super high concentrations, they did note that 95% of these same sugary beverages are made with municipal water supplies – water that is laden with those same aforementioned chemicals, along with many other pharmaceuticals such as trimethoprim, sulfamethoxazole, gemfibrozil, estrone, carbamazepine, atrazine, atenolol; and on top of noxious heavy metals chemicals like chlorine, fluoride, and arsenic.
Naturally, Coke and Pepsi were quite upset at this study, and denied all allegations and results found in the study, and spent time and money to discredit the CSE’s results.
All this did not stop Coke and Pepsi from launching a vicious campaign to
getdiscredit our findings. Cases were filed and threats issued. But these pressure tactics did not work. CSE stood its ground and the cases were withdrawn.Fast forward to August, 2006. CSE undertook a nation wide study of nearly a dozen soft drink brands and found little had changed. The study found pesticide residues in all samples. This after [the Joint Parliamentary Committee] JPC had asked for standards for carbonated beverages.
It took the health ministry a good three more years to notify standards for pesticides in carbonated water. Even these standards are meaningless as their is no methodology available to test for pesticides. CSE is currently engaged with Bureau of Indian Standards to put in place a methodology for testing pesticides.
CSE wrote in an abstract
And it is also not conspiracy that Coke’s drinks have long been used for many other applications beyond just consumption. We are all familiar the childhood favorite science experiment of dropping the popular candy Mentos into a bottle of Coke, causing a chemical reaction of the pop going, well, pop! Moreover, it has been reported by a variety of outlets that Coke can do things and be used for:
- Remove grease stains from clothing and fabric
- Remove rust; methods include using fabric dipped in Coke, a sponge or even aluminum foil
- Kill slugs and snails; a small bowl of Coke will attract them, the acid will kill them
- Help a lawn become lush and green
- Defrost a frozen windshield
- Neutralize a jellyfish sting
- Clean car battery terminals by pouring a small amount of Coke over each one
- Make pretty pennies; soaking old pennies in Coke will remove the tarnish
- Make your hair curly; pour flat Coke onto long hair, leave for a few minutes then rinse
- Clean tile grout; pour onto kitchen floor, leave for a few minutes, wipe up
- Dissolve a tooth in it
- Clean a toilet; pour around bowl, leave for a while, flush clean
- Strip paint off metal furniture
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Growing up I remember the days of sucking down dozens of cans of Diet Dr. Pepper, on top of all the other immensely processed and toxic foods that I ate. Thank Jesus Christ that he saved me from that life of immense gluttony and toxicity!
And yet, the hirelings and pastors who peddle garbage among “churchianity” will mock you for pointing this this out, and wanting to stay healthy, and rely on God’s creation for healing and strength.
[16] Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? [17] If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. [18] Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.1 Corinthians 3:16-18
But meanwhile, the media wants you to believe that all these adverse reactions from blatant toxicity is actually some pervasive virus that effects everyone differently: it’s INSANITY.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

I personally never knew that.
I never knew that! Lord forgive me for unintentionally committing gluttony and drinking that poison! I don’t do it perpetually but still.
