I'm not gonna unless you make me

Coke and Pepsi will discontinue the use of 4-methylimidazole (4-MEI) in their beverage manufacturing due to the likelihood of it causing cancer.  Did the two soda giants discontinue this practice after they found out that it is a potential cancer causing agent?  Of course not.  They discontinued to practice after California decided to add 4-MEI to their carcinogens list forcing the companies to either get rid of the ingredient or facing the possibility of having to put cancer warning labels on their bottles.  Well, I guess as long as it happens right?
