So... I found an article about "Sodium Benzoate" that I thought you might find interesting. More proof that we need to be better informed about what we eat and drink and READ LABELS!



Sodium benzoate - what you should know...

Sodium benzoate is the most widely used preservative in the world. You'll find it in beverages of all sorts of foods, liquid nutritional supplements, toothpaste and oral care products and pharmaceuticals to name a few. Sodium benzoate can cause skin rashes,gastrointestinal upset, hyperactivity in children, and neurological disorders. It has also caused birth defects in lab animals.

Sodium benzoate, along with potassium benzoate,when in a product containing ascorbic acid orvitamin C, can form benzene. Benzene is known to cause cancer. Here is a list of beverages found to contain sodium benzoate or potassium benzoate and ascorbic acid:
