Dear Dr. Gomes
Please note that your well water could also contain pesticides! It isn't
that the beverage makers add pesticides or whatever. It just happens that
the ground water is contaminated, more in some areas, less in others. I am
certain that the Coke manufactured in Goa (Verna) will contain much lower
levels than the national average, if at all!!

The statement that the conclusions seem to be non biased and scientifically
sound is debatable!

  I received this from a chemist (ex NIO) who now works on
 environmental issues at Environment Canada and has worked with
 pesticides for a long time. Guess I  sticking to my well water and
 its cute frogs!

  This is what he had to say:
 It would be advisable  to be informed on the high levels of pesticides
 found in bottled water and soft drinks manufactured in India.  read
 the original CSE Report (Aug 2006). The analytical methodology and
 conclusions seem to be non biased and scientifically sound-although
 the Coke and Pepsi multinationals will like you to believe otherwise.
