Hazards of non-alcoholic beverages

  • Carcinogenic soft drinks
  • Cancer-causing additives in mineral waters
  • Carcinogenic carbonated drinks

Incidence

In California legislation has been introduced clearly stating the cancer-related dangers of the consumption of soft drinks. In India in 1990, soft drinks containing brominated vegetable oil (a known carcinogenic emulsifier, long identified by WHO as unfit for human consumption) continued to be sold in the bazaars throughout the country.
