It doesn't sound very appetizing. But the Cow Protection Department of the Rashtriya Sawyamseval Sangh wants to make a cola from cow urine, claiming that the soda would taste good, be healthy and could cure diseases, even cancer.
The drink is undergoing lab testing in Lucknow and the group hopes to have it on the market by the end of the year.
Dr. Donald Hensrud, chairman of the Division of Preventive Medicine at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, remains skeptical of its supposed health benefits.

"I think I'm perfectly comfortable in saying that I'm aware of no data that cow's urine-- or any other species' urine-- holds any promise in treating or preventing cancer."
