Organic consumers and nutritionists may already know, but the rest of the general population does not know about sodium benzoate. It has the ability to deprive the cells of oxygen, break down the immune system and cause cancer.

This killer is flying under consumer radar with its user friendly tag line, "as a preservative." This silent cell choker has found its way into thousands of products, even foods that are labeled as all natural. But don\'t be fooled. While benzoic acid is found naturally in low levels in many fruits, the sodium benzoate listed on a product\'s label is synthesized in a lab.

Derived from a reaction of benzoic acid with sodium hydroxide, sodium benzoate is actually the sodium salt of benzoic acid. Sodium benzoate is a known carcinogenic additive which, when eaten or applied to the skin, gets transported to the liver, where it is supposed to be filtered, and expelled in urine, but the damage gets done before that process is completed.

\r\n \r\n That is why you need to beware of docs. Sodium benzoate on the surface should be safe as sugar, but it is not. It reacts in wierd ways (unexplainable how, but they now know it does) to produce nasties in food.\r\n
