Apparently, 2 known carcinogens, 2-methylimidazole and 4-methylimidazole, have been found in the so called “caramel color” used in soft drinks and a variety of other consumables.
Is this something to be worried about?
In what quantities?
You have to know the level of toxicity. Toxicologists classify everything on the average does that leaves half of their cohort dead. This is called the LDL 50. How much acute Tylenol poisoning to kill a person? It varies. How much to cause cancer? It varies. Also cancer is a term that describes several hundred conditions. I use products with caramel coloring on a daily basis. I do not have cancer of any kind. Nor do I every expect to get cancer from caramel coloring, nor know if that is the cause as I am exposed to other substances that supposedly cause cancer.
If you want to avoid cancer, don’t smoke or drink or hang out around the use of industrial chemicals, eat a balanced diet, get exercise and sleep. In short, what you would ordinarily do for good health. Risk from caramel coloring is probably so exceedingly low that it is around the risk of getting “left behind” during rapture. Regardless of all precautions, you will still die of something. No exceptions.
so Crystal Pepsi wasn’t such a bad idea after all?
