See book keywords and concepts |  The biggest concern centers on the safety of E211, known as sodium benzoate, a preservative used for decades by the $150 billion global carbonated drinks industry. sodium benzoate derives from benzoic acid. It is used in large quantities to prevent mold from forming in soft drinks such as Sprite, Oasis and Dr Pepper. This common preservative is also added to pickles and sauces.
In the past, sodium benzoate had already been identified as an indirect cause of cancer. When mixed with the additive vitamin C in soft drinks, it produces benzene, a carcinogenic substance. Now, Dr. |

See article keywords and concepts |  It stores in less space and has far longer shelf life than aloe vera liquids, and because there's no water in the product, there's no need to add preservatives like sodium benzoate which are a serious health concern. Check the labels on some of the aloe vera liquids on the market and you'll see chemical preservatives. It's best to avoid those. Definitely avoid any that are made with chemical sweeteners (sucralose) or processed sugars (fructose, high-fructose corn syrup, etc.).

See article keywords and concepts |  When the FSA study revealed the extend of the behavioral disorders caused in children by these food additives (which include sodium benzoate), the U.K. press went into a feeding frenzy over the issue and now the FDA is pressuring food manufacturers to remove the additives from the national food supply.
Back in the USA, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration seems to have heard nothing about this issue. It's doing nothing to protect children from such food additives and, in fact, appears to be taking a position that pretends the Southampton research never took place at all. |

See article keywords and concepts |  If our national leaders really want health care reform, they should outlaw known cancer-causing chemicals like sodium nitrite, sodium benzoate, artificial food colors, aspartame, monosodium glutamate and others.
After all, we're talking about health care costs here, right? How much financial sense does it make to allow food companies to poison the population, and then have to foot the bill for treating all the resulting diseases from that poison? This financial burden really belongs with the food companies. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Preservatives
Preservatives, such as sodium benzoate, nitrates, nitrites, and sulfites, work primarily to prevent spoilage by checking the growth of microorganisms. All of these preservatives have come under attack recently. In the case of nitrates and nitrites, these compounds are known carcinogens. Sulfites and benzoates, on the other hand, are capable of producing allergic reactions.
Benzoic acid and benzoates are the most commonly used food preservatives. |
Elson M. Haas, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  In medicine, sodium benzoate is occasionally used in testing liver function, as it is metabolized by the liver.
Benzoic acid and sodium benzoate are probably the safest of the chemical preservatives, certainly much safer than BHA and BHT. Tests have not shown the benzoin derivatives to be carcinogenic. Occasionally, larger amounts can cause intestinal upset, especially with weakened liver function. Benzoic acid can also be slightiy irritating to the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes, and both it and sodium benzoate can cause allergic reactions, though these are rare. |
Dr. Paula Baillie-Hamilton
See book keywords and concepts |  Sodium benzoate, a salt of benzoic acid, is another common chemical preservative to look out for on food labels and avoid.
So many chemicals present in our bodies, such as pesticides, toxic metals, plastics, and solvents, among many others, can also fundamentally damage the immune system by overactivating it and triggering long-term chronic inflammation, which could also be a contributing factor (see page 164). |

Fitzgerald: Yes.
Mike: I think you cover this in the book. When that mixes with citric acid, it can sometimes create benzenes?
Fitzgerald: We looked at some of the studies done in the later part of 2005, examining the synergistic reactions between aspartame -- the synthetic sweetener that is found in thousands of products now -- and MSG, along with two common food colorings. This was a study done in England at a university in the later part of 2005. |

These amounts are well below levels allowed in children's food and drink. For another two-week period, the children received plain fruit juice.
The parents were not told which two-week period their kids got the plain juice and which period they got the spiked juice. They were asked to write reports on their three-year-olds' behavior. |
