> Coca-Cola ... said the risk of illness was "very low".

But not zero.

The risk of being abducted by space aliens from the planet Zog is also "very low" but not zero.

I would rate the risk of illness from the Coke products as somewhat higher than the risk of abduction.

It was said this could pose health risks, especially for infants and children, including thyroid problems caused by reduced iodine absorption.

This can have serious heath implications, including lowered red blood cell counts and a changed composition of the components of bone marrow.

Another group at risk is pregnant women who also have thyroid function disorders.

Everybody freaks out about the acidity in sodas. But when you drink it, it immediately goes into a big vat of acid called “your stomach”. There are far more dangerous things we regularly consume.

European coke is already diff from American coke because of the ban overseas on High Fructose Corn Syrup.

European coke is like the Mexican glass bottled stuff here: cane sugar based.
