I wouldn’t think so if it came in glass bottles.

I don’t dispute that, but I personally have had no bad experiences with it. If one is gonna drink a soda anyways an orange soda in a glass bottle would be a better choice than most others.

Yeah for sure, it’s worth a try.

With our crappy food chain we are having to pick the lesser of two evils most most of the time.

I think a lot of citric acid comes from growing GMO black mold, so I don't know if mycotoxins or other toxins can make it into the extracted citric acid or what, but some people do seem to react.

I think the amount in candies and sodas is much less than used in some cheeses and other products. I cant remember what other products used it.
in general with sodas root beer seems to be the safest option, least fillers. it doesnt mess with the teeth as much as phosphoric acid in coke. but if you get the maine root brand sodas they have several different flavors, even orange or blueberry or lemon lime, and theres no benzoates or acids added. they use some kind of spices for lemon lime and root beer, and blueberry juice in blueberry. i think the water is even filtered, and the juices and sugar are organic.
there are a few sodas that dont have fillers besides sodium benzoate. citric or malic acid are usually used in the fruity flavors to provide tartness or sour flavor.

I have settled on these two being the best I can find for now, but I will always keep looking.

that is the maine root brand there. do you know what they mean by "pure water"? have they done any filtering or is it just advertising? I think any bottled water can label their water as "pure water".

Who knows, like I said it is the best I have come up with so far. The only pure water I would think would be distilled, so I think we are drinking words as well.

“Once during a lecture, Alfred Korzybski offered his students some cookies, which they seemed to enjoy, then he showed them a label on the bag, “dog cookies,” and some of them felt sick. "I have just demonstrated that people don't just eat food, but also words, and that the taste of the former is often outdone by the taste of the latter." Hypnotists have often demonstrated that words can have physiological effects.“ -Ray Peat
