It's not the end of the argument unless you admit that it is INDIAN water containing INDIAN pesticides from your precious INDIAN water supply which you will drink anyway.

It's only the end of the argument if you want to concede those obvious points.

Do something about your own water supply. You didn't put Coca Cola in charge of your own water safety, did you?

YOU are the one who wants to believe the lawsuit that started over caffeine being a harmful chemical. YOU are the one who defends protectionism using whatever means anyone can conjure up in that country.

Here's my little advice to you. Don't buy any foreign products. It will make you feel patriotic and superior.

But don't try to convince anyone that banning foreign products because of things you control and are the cause of is OUR fault.

We're not that stupid.

If you are trying to say that all of India's water is all pesticide ridden then you are making the most asinine comment anyone has ever made on FR. India has 3.3 million sq. km or land area. You saying entire India is ridden with pesticide? You must be nutz.

And what have you got to prove that its Indian water that's carrying the pesticides? Any evidence? Or you are one of those righteous Americans who believe that there could never be anything wrong with an American product.

Also explain why no other soft drink product have as much pesticide levels as does Coke or Pepsi?

And even if I accept for a moment that it could be because of the local source of water supply used by Coco Cola company thats contaminated, even then whose responsibility is it to make the product safer for consumption before they put it on the shelf for consumption? Its disgraceful for Americans to expect us to drink a product of theirs thats far less safer than the local water supply. Coca Cola is know to have 27 times higher residues than the BIS standards for total pesticides in soft drinks (0.5 ppb) according to CSE study.
