They found 5 nm carbon particles in Coke and Pepsi. In mice, those particles crossed the blood-brain barrier.There was no acute organ damage observed in that particular study, so the researchers reported their findings accordingly. But the particles still aren’t listed on the label.If it’s “just caramel from heating sugar,” explain that clearly on the can. And if the long-term effects of consuming these particles in humans aren’t known, say that too.A drink consumed by millions of people shouldn’t require digging through a 2017 laboratory paper for consumers to discover what has been detected in it.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29261040/
