An ingredient used in Coca-Cola and Pepsi is a cancer risk and should be banned, an influentiallobby group has claimed.The concerns relate to an artificial brown colouring agent that the researchers say could be causing thousands of cancers.‘The caramel colouring used in Coca-Cola, Pepsi,and other foods is contaminated with two cancer-causing chemicals and should be banned,’ said the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), a health lobby group based in Washington, DC.‘In contrast to the caramel one might make at home by melting sugar in a saucepan, the artificial brown colouring in colas and some other products is made by reacting sugars with ammonia and sulphites under high pressure and temperatures.‘Chemical reactions result in the formation of two substances known as 2-MI and 4-MI which in government-conducted studies caused lung, liver,or thyroid cancer or leukaemia in laboratory mice or rats.’America’s National Toxicology Program says that there is ‘clear evidence’ that both 2-MI and 4-MI are animal carcinogens, and therefore likely to pose a risk to humans.

Researchers at the University of California, Davis, found significant levels of 4-MI in five brands of cola.  More...

As the secret formula for Coca-Cola is unearthed, our man tries to cook up the Real Thing

Is this the real thing? Site claims to have uncovered Coca-Cola's top secret formulaThe executive director of the CSPI, Michael F Jacobson, has petitioned America’s food regulator, the Food & Drug Administration, to take action.He said: ‘Carcinogenic colourings have no place in the food supply, especially considering that their only function is a cosmetic one.’Mr Jacobson said the name ‘caramel colouring’ does not accurately describe the additives, explaining: ‘It’s a concentrated dark brown mixture of chemicals that simply does not occur in nature.’

There is no health in Coca-Cola beverages regarding human rights,the environment or your health! Coca-Cola remains under fire forproducing unhealthy products that are fueling the obesity anddiabetes epidemic throughout the world because of the high sugarand caloric content.

Phosphoric Acid in Coca-Cola and Diet Coke has been shown todestroy bones by contributing to osteoporosis and destroying teeth.Aspartame, now known as AminoSweet, has been linked to numerousdiseases and health problems. In addition, there are food dyes andother chemical additives in Coke products that are knowncarcinogens. Due to the mass marketing and consumption of Cokeproducts, millions are addicted to these products due to thecaffeine, sugar and aspartame.

Coke is also guilty of marketing some products as "healthy" such asVitaminWater and Evigna. Experts consider these claims as falseadvertising and there are current lawsuits against Coke because oftheir VitaminWater advertising.

In the United States, because of public pressure, Coca-Cola has hadto less aggressively market their products to children. However,around the world, the company continues to push their products toaddict children where that pressure does not exist. To Coke

executives and board members, profits take precedence overmorality, ethics and the well-being of children.

Like the cigarette companies, Coke circumvents attempts to protectyoung people whose health is jeopardized by these products. Perhapsthere should be a warning similar to the one on cigarette packages:"Coke Products May Be Hazardous To Your Health."

Policy on Dress: Health, Safety and Security Requirements

1. Imperial College does not insist on any particulardress for its employees or students, except where there are health and safety or security concerns, or where a job or placement requires a uniform or protective clothing to be worn.

Health and Safety2. Health and safety requirements may mean that for certain tasks specific items of clothing such as overalls, face masks, protective clothing, etc must be worn.

Security3. For security reasons, all employees, students and visitors to the College's premises must be readily identifiable. This means that Security, Reception andother staff and students should be able to identify aperson on campus, usually by comparing their face to the photograph on their College Identity Card.

4. For this reason:

a. At all times while on campus staff, students and visitors must be able to present their ID card for inspection. In most circumstances it is recommended that the card is visibly on display, for example

clipped to a waistband or breast pocket, or worn on alanyard. Visitors must similarly carry their visitors' cards where issued with one.

b. Clothing obscuring an individual's face is not allowed on any of the College's campuses, except whenrequired for health and safety or work-related reasons. Motorcycle couriers must therefore remove their helmets before entering College buildings. For ease of identification, employees, students and visitors should not wear clothing in such a way that it obscures the face. In applying this Policy, consideration should be given to weather and environmental conditions, and the location on campus.

5. College Security Staff have the right to ask individuals to identify themselves by comparison withtheir photograph on their ID card. Anyone who refusespermission for them to do so may be removed from the College's premises.

Job or Placement Requirements6. A uniform may be required for particular tasks, either within the College or during placements with external organisations. Employees and students of theCollege will be required to comply with such requirements.

Offensive Dress7. Where staff or students perceive that a particularslogan or symbol on clothing is offensive (for

example, obscene, racist, sexist or sectarian), the wearing of such slogans or symbols will be consideredas a potential disciplinary offence and dealt with accordingly. The disciplinary processes for students are detailed in the Student Handbook and those for staff in Respect for Others.

Religious and Other Considerations8. The Equality Act 2010, states that it is unlawful to discriminate against individuals because of their religion, religious belief or similar philosophical belief. Imperial College values the diversity of its staff and students and aims to create an environment where the cultural, religious and non-religious or similar philosophical beliefs of all are respected.

9. The College welcomes the variety of appearance brought by individual styles and choices. The wearingof items arising from particular cultural/ religious norms (including, for example, saris, turbans, skullcaps, hijabs, kippahs and clerical collars) is seen as part of this welcome diversity.

10. Subject to Paragraph 4b. above, if the College's Dress Policy produces a conflict with an individual'sreligious belief, the individual's line manager or the student's supervisor will, with the aim of finding a satisfactory compromise, sympathetically consider the issue consistent with the objectives of this policy. Such consideration may include ensuring that a version of a uniform for women includes the option of wearing trousers. Similarly, if a uniform

includes headwear then the wearing of turbans should not be prohibited unless there is an over-riding health and safety need.

11. There will be circumstances, such as in laboratories or on student placement visits, where itmay be necessary to impose particular dress codes, for example for medical students on placement in NHS Trusts.

12. The health, safety and security of members of theCollege community must be the College's prime consideration at all times. Where the health and safety or security of the person wearing the dress (or that of others) is compromised, it may be necessary to request that the person does not wear that dress or a particular aspect of it. This will behandled with sensitivity and the reasons for the request given.

Dress code in college, Right orwrong?

Hello,Although this is an old topic to discuss on but I thought I should take opinion of all the members on this topic. I personally think that the dress code is good till school and after that it should be over. While many collegeshave banned wearing of civil uniform while other college insists on having civil dress. So what you think of this. Personally I feal that college life should not be having any dress code. Liberty of dress should be their in the colleges.

Especially we are wearing uniforms from the Ist standard to 12th standard and it is boring to wear uniform in college. In campus we need some freedom in choosing the dress. When we come into profoessional life we does not need uniform but we can have a color code which will give good to work in company or campus.

Students need to relax in college days because they are having very stress period and it is very difficult to study in the stress periodsand everyone need a change from this atomosphere.

Dress code in college is a discussion which is being done everywhere.It is only in our subcontinent that the students are asked to wear the school uniform in the school, which is not in the western world.Some members have rightly advocated that students get bored while

wearing the uniform for 12 years of life which is schooling and at college there should be liberty about wearing clothes.But here the guidelines should be mandatory about the dress code. Students should not be allowed to wear anything and everything while going to college. They should be properly dressed. The reason why some colleges are fixing the dress code is only to the reason that mostly students wear fashion clothes while going to college which sometimes looks awkward.

Why dress code in schools or colleges? Once I asked this quistion to one of my teachers. He answered me that to make all the students in same level of stutus dress code is applicable in schools. If an uniform dress code is not applied in the school the students from therich family would wear the costly and fashionable dress whereas the poor students would wear the clothes just to cover up their body only. In the result a big classification would come in the students mind. The poor students would feel inferior and mentaly dipressed. So, to avoid these things dress code is applicable. So, I think it isvery good thing to apply dress code in colleges.

I am not a 100% supporter of dress code. Especially the boring white shirt and blue pants. This is very irritating to be honest. I mean asyou have said, dress code is mandatory until the school days or high school days. But dress code even in college and Under graduation is really unfortunate. I don't see any need. I think the students will be well mature and will understand that no one should be discriminated on the basis of wealth. I think the managements should trust the students that they won't separate poor people from rich. Weknow how to handle it. They need to allow us and give us a chance. Making students wear uniform will make them think that they are stillbeing treated as school children. It indirectly hurts their moral levels as dress code is obviously boring. I am not saying that it is bad it just doesn't suite the Teens. We can alternately put a restriction of some kind like certain vulgar dresses are not allowed.We can censor a particular type of dress to make sure everything's fine. But just to stop students from wearing vulgar dresses, we cannot force upon them a boring dress code.

Hi sai,I can not understand why you are saying the dress code as boring. Youare thinking only from the side of rich family. Once you try to go through the mind of poor students. So many students in India have no financial capability to wear as they like. I think in student life all should think that all we are socially equal. They should not think who is poor and who is rich. But if someone wear something costly or fashionabel it automatically comes in the mind of poor students why they are poor, they are the down troden. It affects their academic life.

According to me I don't think that you do need a dress code in colleges. In school obviously it is compulsory; because it is age where you don't know about many thing; so to safeguard you it is necessary for the school to recognize you.

But in college level I think students are quite mature enough to knowwhat is good for them and what is not. And also we do have id cards for the recognizing the students. Now it is upto the students how they use it or mis use the non- dress code in college.

But I truly believe that we don't need dress-code in college at least.

@ Md. Akhter Hossain As I have seen you saying poor students are not capability for wear as they like, I think to express my views about it. Sorry to tell that I completely disagree with your statement, since students comes to college mainly for enjoying, first of all majority of students in a cllege will be from wealthy family. So for the sake of poor students they cannot partially neglect their enjoyment, as wearing uniforms snatch their freedom. Second thing is that even the poor students who are capable of being allotted in college will not be more poor if they buy some dress too. Finally in this modern world the dresses are so cheap that even poor students are also able to buythem. So there is no meaning in providing uniforms in college only tomake poor students happy.

I don't think dress code is nacessary in collage but it is also true

that clothes make the person. A well dress person always look good than a poorly dressed person has. That is why a uniform may help to maintain good behave among boys and girls. I think uniforms are also conducive to discipline. It is also true that too mhch freedom of choice is harmful for collage students. So it's give some limit on students.

I think, not only college levels but also every educational institutes this should be followed. This dress code unites the students and their concentration won't divert towards others dresses.They can kept their concentration in studies.

Thanks and regards, Vicky

@ AkhterI can understand what you are trying to say. Same equal status is good only to the school becuaed that the students are very demanding whenever they see the new thing. But as they and reach the college they are enogh matured as to figure what status is. Yes status is shown by the good cloths but I think nobody everyday changes his or her cloths. So I think civil dress is good for colleges.

This is a very debatable topic. Each has its own pros and cons. 

Having a dress code in college spreads the message of equality among the students. As all the students cannot afford the best clothes, this is a very good option. This way the economically poor students will not get disheartened or sad if their other classmates wear expensive clothes.

Also, for a student it is necessary to dress decently and with a dress code in place, this can be ensured. If girls wear some provocative dresses, it is not good because in these days girls are facing many problems like eve teasing and the like. So a dress code can prevent this to an extent.

But despite all this, I personally feel that civil dresses must be allowed for colleges. As all of us spend our complete school life in uniforms, we all like to have a change. Also dressing up well increases confidence and one can learn the art of well dressing, which is a good quality.

100%. Every college must have dress code. I am not talking about uniform, but students should wear decent dress. I am a lecturer and seen many students wearing low waist jeans and dirty shirts which looks horrible. Why students can't wear a normal dress, many thinks that they are looking cool dude or funky then I must say they just look like a joker.I don't know when this category starts wearing "human" type of dresses.

Awaiting for replies.

Yes dress code in college should be there, otherwise there are many students who take the advantage and wear the dress which looks ugly and awkward. Dress code should be followed and it must be practiced in every institution to maintain its dignity. Many students wear their pants too low and say that its a fashion and they actually looklike jokers in that condition. Wearing the dress to impress others iswaste, wearing dress to represent our dignity and status is the correct thing. 

So i suggest all the institutions to keep a dress code and not to encourage students in wearing funky dresses.

There is no need for a dress code in universities. I fail to see the real need behind it. But yes, dress sense should be decent and appropriate.

Iam also aganist to dress code.Its irritating.Some people say that

this dress code is to maintain equality of students.But as per me we build a concept of euality in the minds of children not in dress or any external.If you build a better character in their minds no one can treat others as poor never try to blame them.

We can maintain dress code for their equality but not all like food,toys..etc.So we should give them the charater but not dresscode.

Human minds are always changing. There is no limit for our needs. As this is the general rule and the same is not an exception in children. To avoid this only, earlier, the schools have introduced 'uniform system'. There are chances in parents to decorate their children with variety and costly dresses but they forget to think that would make other children, for poor and whom it is not possible,to long for such dresses. This will be removed when the dress code is introduced. Moreover, present people have no dress sense at all as they used to dress themselves without any limit and culture. We can see many college boys and girls are dressing

haphazardly. Even in recent celebrity cricket League match we could see many ladies were in half dress whereas the gents found in full suit. What to say?

I completely agree with you askush. Dress code is ok till the school level,because that helps in reducing the socioeconomic inequalities among the children.But,continuing it in the college level is useless.Students are mature enough at this age.So,that dress code is not necessary.However saying that,i oppose extreme dressing in college.That can be controlled by other means,but definitely not by dress code.

Dress code is necessary for the both college and professional students because it makes uniformity in the college students and students looks same in the class and helps in reducing the socioeconomic inequalities among the students.Maturity is other thingwhich makes students to understand social things but for making a class dress code is required.Students wearing funky or fashionable dresses not looks like serious in their studies ,they looks like serious in fashion only.Students must have no problem with dress code so dress code is necessary for students

Dress code as far as schools are concerned must be strictly implemented. A very strict dress code is not advisable in the colleges, since the college students should be given the opportunity of independent development of their minds. However, this does not mean that the college students should be allowed to wear dresses which degrade our moral standards and cross all limits of obscenity. The dress may be fashionable but it should not be very gaudy as to attract the attention of the opposite sex to pass comments. The dressshould speak of the personality of the person and should not be a display of bodily parts which need to be covered graciously. The dignity of a person must be kept in mind while dressing oneself. The dress should be suitable according to the age of the person.
