Soda's reputation has fallen a bit flat lately: The all-American beverage most recently made headlines due to an FDA investigation of a potential carcinogen, commonly called 'caramel coloring,' used in many soft-drink recipes. This follows other recent stories that paint an unflattering picture of the soda industry, from New York's attempt to ban super-sized drinks to a spate of new soda-tax proposals.
Faced with all this bad press, it's hard to believe that the 'evil' soft drink actually began as a cure-all, touted for its many beneficial effects. But even then, the unregulated narcotics used in many sodas weren't exactly good for you.
