Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!! They are killing us slowly in Nigeria, and we do not know. Apparently, for 9 years, a civil law case has been going on against Coca Cola Bottling Company, manufacturers of Fanta and Sprite,  That impacts directly on our health and lives. Let me try and paraphrase it, so una no go sleep off. Basically, one Dr Fijabi, had in 2007, bought  about N12 million worth of Fanta and Sprite drinks from Coca Cola Ltd, and exported same to the United Kingdom. However, on reaching England, under Health and Safety regulations, the authorities tested the products and found them to contain "poisonous levels of  Benzoic Acid and Sunset addictives" And were therefore declared "unfit for human consumption".
