Cardoso says he has regularly bought ginger at the Canadian ginger for 10 years to help reduce stomach problems, believing that the drink had "medicinal benefits". During the proceedings, it was found that the POP drink does not understand thata trace of ginger root treated.
"They buy the current ginger, but what they do is that they boil in ethanol and which essentially destroys nutritional or medicinal benefits," the Canofari lawyer, as cited byFood and wine. He explains that Canada Dry uses a ginger concentrate. "A drop fills 70 cans [...] and a drop is 0.05 ml. That's little, even concentrate, is actually in a single drink."
