Now when I drink beer with every meal, I can say it's for health reasons.
Now when people tell me smoking causes cancer, I can say that the soft drink they are drinking will give them cancer.
Does this mean that we are going to die? Because I want to live forever.

Everything is a trade off, no soda might make somebody unhappy and the depression might kill them quicker.
With this kid of logic one could claim that driving to work is hazardous, so quit your job, trimming your hair one might get cut, so dont trim it, people who bath have a higher incidence of slipping afalling and breaking bones than people who dont...
Taken to the limit, studies like these suggest one might better off as as a depressed homeless person, rather than taking risks in life like drinking a soda.

Sounds like they're going after "junk food"...
I got more exposure to benzene in one year of organic chemistry labs than I'll ever get from soda.
You could give up all junk/fast food and still be exposed to natural poisons in many food plants: tannins, oxalic acid,... Overdose on anything, including pure water, and you could die.
I'm a little confused. Since when is a trace amount considered to be a high level? I think for now I will hold off on pouring my diet Dr Pepper down the sink.
From my cold, dead hands ...
So what are the chances that any US soft drink has benzene in it?
