The pesticide is part of the chemical which makes a person ADDICTIVE TO COLAS.Bush is

pressurising India on Nuclear detterence and energy security.He is also pressurising India to give concession to terrrorist leader mushraff.He is also pressurising India to give patent protection to MNC drug companies for anti/cancer and anti/AIDS DRUGS.Now what is indian ruling ELITE is doing including the opposition? , Jagannath Chatterjee wrote:>> Bush administration pressures India to reinstate Coke, Pepsi sales> regardless of pesticide content> http://www.newstarget.com/020028.html> Bush administration pressures > India to reinstate Coke, Pepsi sales regardless of pesticide content> Posted Thursday, August 17, 2006 by NewsTarget, Key concepts: coke, > Pepsi and Bush administration.> Printable article Permalink: > http://www.NewsTarget.com/020028.html> > (NewsTarget) -- Amitabh Pal,

Dear Dr. Muhammad Alam:

 

I am sure that as a Doctor, you are aware of the harmful effects of drinking coke that has prosperous as an ingredient. As we have a corrupt Mafia governance, I doubt if the government will do any thing on the issues you wish to take up. I feel we need to create grass root awareness program that can inform our people that Coke damages our stomachs and ultimately our health.
