Pesticide in soft drinks

In India, a parliamentary inquiry has found that soft drinks sold in India by US companies Coca-Cola and Pepsi contain high levels of pesticide that they could lead to cancer and other diseases.

The Joint Parliamentary Committee has also held the US soft drinks majors Coca Cola and PepsiCo's plants in Palakkad district of Kerala responsible for "causing pollution of water, depleting ground water and reducing crop yields besides causing ailments to human beings".
