Subject: Health Hazard - Soda Cans

Hi there,

Any idea if this is for real or not???  Just received it in email tonite.

Health Warning....................worth reading.


Please read & forward to all. 

 Whenever you buy a can of Coke or any other canned soft drink, please  

 make sure that you wash the top with running water and soap or, if not 

 available, drink with a straw. A family friend's friend died after 

 drinking a can of soda! Apparently, she didn't clean the top before  

 drinking from the can. The top was incrusted with dried rats

 urine which is toxic and obviously lethal!!!!!  Canned drinks and

 other foodstuffs are stored in warehouses and containers that are

 usually  infested with rodents and then get transported to the retail  

 outlets without being properly cleaned...

 Please forward this message to the people you care about...

 Thanks.
