Coca cola's formula is kept under 7 keys Recent studies have shown that some substances
in the beverage may cause cancer, besides poor manufacturing can cause irreversible
damage to those who consumed the beverage. For 13 years, walking is difficult and working
is impossible. The intoxication from the rat poisoning left permanent damages, Wilson suffers
from muscular spasms that occur every moment. "I have involuntary movements, not knowing
the time, I can fall forward or backward" Have you fallen to the floor? "Many times".
On the street? "At times yes". He tries to hold his emotions when talking
about the moment that he experienced, the burning of his mouth, esophagus and stomach
from the coca cola. "I survive by the help of 3 friends 4 colleagues
-- I am not going to cry, and my lawyer who never abandon me". Wilson bought a pack of
6x2 litters bottle of coca cola in which he did not take a full sip, corrosive, as the
half sip was, the other being spit out. "I already felt the taste of blood inside of
me. I communicated with the company and they did not provide medical attention and help.
I had to search for medical help in which they diagnosed me in that exact moment with
exogenic poisoning". The following day, an employee from coca cola
went to my house and took 2 bottles of coke with him, which was later destroyed, and sent
the remaining bottles to the justice department. But Wilson did save the most shocking and
contaminating evidence in this bottle that you see where he holds with great care in
a locked vault; you see the head of a rat. You see right away the thick long hair, at
first sight it's difficult to identify the mass, but all you need to do is turn the bottle
and the results are clear, ears and nose. According to forensics, there was no tempering
done with the bottle. Based on the institute of technology research there was no doubts,
the industrial seal was intact. Wilson states he never received assistance
or help from the company. First and foremost I would like for coca cola to admit their
fault. A settlement is not for me to become rich, I never imagined myself as a citizen
that wanted to be a billionaire; I just want my life back.
The ministry for public affairs tried to close down the factory where the bottles were manufactured,
but the justice department did not accept it. Wilson court process against coca cola
is still pending. Not only are the failures in the manufacturing process bothersome so
are the effects of consuming this beverage. There was detected and exuberant amount of
caramel 4 methylimidazole which is a coloring agent also known to give flavors to soft drinks.
This product in big quantities has already been considered as a potential carcinogen.
The caramel 4 for example has been related to cancer in the lungs, esophagus and blood.
Us Brazilians should be more aware that the same beverage sold here has 67 times more
caramel 4 then the coca cola sold in California -US.
There is a law created in the US based in the Center for Science in the Public Interest,
where director Michael Jacobson explains that the coloring agent should be removed by the
industries since it represents and potential health risk.
Looking in the small letters in the packaging label it admits the presence of the substance
but not the amount. The consumer should be informed of the levels of caramel 4 and be
alerted of any health risk even associated with high excessive limits, leading to cancer.
If in US they have lesser levels, Brazil should be the same.
Coca cola from Brazil informed that the used of caramel 4 follows the criteria given by
ANVISA (BRAZILIAN HEALTH SURVEILANCE AGENCY) and the quantity doesn't indicate health risk.
Regarding Wilson's lawsuit, coca cola stated that they respect the deadline given by the
Brazilian justice system and that there manufacturing plants follow strict guidelines and standards
of quality.
