After softdrinks, the turn of Jams, squashes, ketchups

[Guest guest]

Summer is gradually heating up in india. Thirst is never ending. This

is the season we used to make mango jams, orange squash, lemon squash

etc for summer drinks. And sodium benzoate is the preservative of

choice, as per the teaching of Central Food Research Institute, Mysore.

 

FDA says it's dangerous and a contributing factor to

developing leukemias and lymphomas when sodium benzoate chemically

reacts with anything containing vitamin C, which produces benzene.

Benzene is definitely linked to these diseases. Another good reason

to not drink soda, lemonades, cola etc.

 

Unfortunately, sodium benzoate is in other products as well, like jams,

squashes, ketchups etc It's always vital to check the list of

ingredients. The news is important for indians too, since Gulkand available from most pharmacies contains this preservative, and in summer the sale of Gulkand soars along with level of mercury.
