A new class-action lawsuit in the US alleges Coca-Cola and Simply Orange Juice deceived customers with claims of an all-natural, healthy product when the juice has been found to be contaminated with toxic PFAS at levels “hundreds of times” above federal advisory limits for drinking water.

PFAS are a class of about 12,000 chemicals typically used to make thousands of consumer products resist water, stains and heat. They are called “forever chemicals” because they do not naturally break down, and they are linked to cancer, fetal complications, liver disease, kidney disease, autoimmune disorders and other serious health issues.

Honestly not sure this is a Coke/Simply Orange issue and not simply facing reality. These things are in the water. Like mercury accumulating in fish, these things likely accumulate in plants. They're finding absurd levels in free swimming wild freshwater fish too.

Yep and that's a lot worse. We've really screwed ourselves.
