On a side note, wash your grapes, they're treated with sulfur for mould. All this aside, we're living longer than ever before. Yes, we're all going to die, but we're still going to live longer than before.

I like to hear people who actually know what they're talking about talk about these things... as opposed to people just saying "I got this email..." We're all gonna die. NERD!

The study about Sodium Benzoate didn't sound extremely reliable so far from what I've been told, some think it's more of a stunt by coca cola because they're sick of bad press about their additives. Perhaps of more concern might be whatever chemicals they have to make up the flavour in coca cola, of which the formulas are not available freely to the public to test. I'm a food science student apparently.
