SOFT-DRINKS COMPANIES SHOULD PAY THE PRICE FOR THEIR CONSUMERS HEALTH
With the enormous variety of sweeteners available on the global markets, why don’t other leading brands follow the example of innovative soft-drinks manufacturer T&T Beverages who, in offering the consumer a healthier soft-drink, are willing to absorb the higher associated costs.
Tony Parente, Managing Director, T&T Beverages states:
"At T&T Beverages ( http://www.ttbeverages.com ) we have always monitored trends and been sensitive to scientific and social issues relating to the manufacture and sale of soft drinks particularly as children often drink our products.
We have striven to keep our products free from contentious ingredients, starting three years ago with the removal of refined sugar ahead of many of our competitors as we could foresee serious issues surrounding sugar consumption and a rise in obesity amongst kids.

Dark wines and liquors, as well as aspartame, provide
similar levels of methanol, above 100 mg daily, for
long-term heavy users, 2 L daily, about 6 cans.
Methanol is inevitably largely turned into formaldehyde,
and thence largely into formic acid.
It is the major cause of the dreaded symptoms of "next
morning" hangover.
Fully 11% of aspartame is methanol -- 1,120 mg aspartame
in 2 L diet soda, almost six 12-oz cans, gives 123 mg
methanol (wood alcohol). If 30% of the methanol is turned
into formaldehyde, the amount of formaldehyde, 37 mg,
is 18.5 times the USA EPA limit for daily formaldehyde in
drinking water, 2.0 mg in 2 L average daily drinking water.
