It did saw that docu quite a time ago and well the big corporations are also the biggest criminals on this planet, sure and Kent I would really advise you to stop drinking that stuff.It just isn' worth it, but if you do anyway then at least take the "normal" aspartame free version. ^^

Water. God's own gift to mankind. Why choose Coca-Cola over water?

Here is what the original was supposed to have in it, surprising number of NATURAL ingredients... as opposed to the list on the coke bottle these days..

Original formula

Published versions say it contains sugar or high fructose corn syrup, caramel color, caffeine, phosphoric acid, coca extract, kola nut extract, lime extract, vanilla and glycerin. Alleged syrup recipes vary greatly. The basic “cola” taste from Coca-Cola and competing cola drinks comes mainly from vanilla and cinnamon; distinctive tastes among various brands are the result of trace flavorings such as orange, lime and lemon and spices such as nutmeg.[1] Some natural colas also include cola nut; Coca-Cola does not, and chemical testing reveals none.[2]
To this day, Coca-Cola uses a United States license to purify the coca leaf for medicinal use.[3]
Because cocaine is naturally present in coca leaves, today's Coca-Cola uses "spent," or treated, coca leaves, those that have been through a cocaine extraction process, to flavor the beverage. The coca leaves are imported from countries like Peru and Bolivia, and they are treated by chemical company Stepan, which then sells the de-cocainized residue to Coca-Cola.[4] Some contend that this process cannot extract all of the cocaine alkaloids at a molecular level, and so the drink still contains trace amounts of the stimulant.[1][5] The Coca-Cola Company currently refuses to comment on the continued presence of coca leaf in Coca-Cola.[6][7]
A court case in Antalya, Turkey mentioned cochineal dye in Coca-Cola, but the company denies it currently uses the dye.[8][9

i drink 90% tap-water - which is quite ok , i hope, in my area, to do so.
the other 10% are beer (local), vodka (stoli or grasovka) - vino rosso - very seldom coke or sodas.
but 9 of this 10% is coffee! - espresso - black

and i want to avoid anything, that is bottled in plastic bottles - they're not good! PET, etc.

if possible, buy water in glass-bottles - better for you! - and the extra weight, when shopping is good for your exercise!

About the video:
Trade unions in Colombia are/were usually linked with the leftist guerrillas which are drug-traffickers (AUC were a paramilitary group and they ended being drug-traffickers too)... I think that the union workers were in danger because of the war between paramilitary groups and guerrillas. Paramilitary groups killed union workers everywhere in Colombia and not just in Coca-Cola factories. (google: asesinado + sindicato + colombia)... The video is full of bull****.
