A recent study shows that an ingredient in dye that gives cola its color is linked in an increase of new cancer cells. Scientist tested this on lab rats and the rats showed an increase in cancerous cells. This group of scientists want to create a petition to make these cola companies to put a warning label on the cans or bottles to warn consumers about this risk. The FDA has fired back at this response by saying that one person would have to consume over 1,000 cans a day to reach that limit. Coca-Cola is now asking their caramel manufacturers to lower the dosage of that ingredient so the risk isn't as high. It's not saying that have soda everyday is bad for you, but how much you drink a day might kill you.
