A new study carried out by the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future (CLF) has found that millions Americans who consume soda every day are putting themselves at risk of developing cancer as a result of an ingredient contained in many soft drinks.

4-Methylimidazole, commonly known as 4-MEI, is a coloring used by soft drink makers to give their beverages that distinctive dark hue. It can be found in many popular soft drinks, including Pepsi, Coca-Cola and Diet Cola.

There was clear evidence of carcinogenic activity of 4-methylimidazole in male and female B6C3F1mice based on increased incidences of alveolar/bronchiolar neoplasms.

Exposure to 4-methylimidazole resulted in nonneoplastic lesions in the liver of male and female rats and the lung of female mice and in clinical findings of neurotoxicity in female rats.

Good rule of thumb: Don't eat or drink anything with ingredients you can't pronounce.

Better yet, take it one step further, avoid processed foods altogether.

This is why the role of housewife was massively underrated. Back before that become a "four-letter word" food was prepared at home largely with fresh individual ingredients. Had to get them out of the way via the "liberation movement" part & parcel of big-food's inroads.

Many ingredients are listed as something that they are not.

e.g., "natural flavor(s)" can be artificial sweetener.

Best thing to do is cook from scratch and once you start it's not really that difficult. Things take a little longer, but it's not difficult.

Either way, anything processed avoid. Great policy.
