"So now the full scale of Coke's PR disaster is clear. It goes something like this: take Thames Water from the tap in your factory in Sidcup, Kent; put it through a purification process, call it "pure" and give it a mark-up from 0.03p to 95p per half litre; in the process, add a batch of calcium chloride, containing bromide, for "taste profile"; then pump ozone through it, oxidising the bromide - which is not a problem - into bromate - which is. Finally, dispatch to the shops bottles of water containing up to twice the legal limit for bromate (10 micrograms per litre)."

Re. Dirty Coke water. Pretty scary stuff, but not as bad as the recent news of the discovery that coffee, more than one cup a day, causes inflamation in the imbiber, meaning it will cause heart disease, and many other diseases, as a lot of them now are seen to have inflamation as a root cause. I drink a lot of coffee, or did, and was diagnosed with mild high-blood-pressure. probably due to the coffee.
