Can you prove that no one's ever died from 7 up?

As for natural. Plastic is natural with other natural products to produce an
unnatural substance. Therefore if you use unnatural products on other natural
products you generally get a reaction which is detrimental to both. Where if you
use a natural product, or mostly natural product say 80 to 90% natural, the
reaction will be far less aggressive and short lived. Plastics are made from crude
oil, a naturally occurring substance. Lemon and coconut oils, a another naturally
occurring substance, do not blend or brake up oil. They do not bond with with
plastic. Instead they would add those molecules which the plastic has lost. This
occurring over time. Or prevent the lose of more of it's molecular structure by
creating a bearer not bonding and changing the structure adversely.

If you would like to know more got to Collage and take Chemistry Doppler Dog.
