Sodium Benzoate

Did you know that Sodium Benzoate, which is a very common preservative and found in many products, when combined with Vitamin C, creates Benzine (a known carcinogen) when ingested?  I have just checked the label of a well known "fresh" fruit juice to find that it is preserved with sodium benzoate and that there is added Vitamin C to the "natural" fruit juice. And to think that we think we are being healthy and doing the right thing!! Scary stuff! Makes you wonder about all the other things that we feed ourselves and our children.
