OP thanks. It's informative but is it dangerous in reaction to vitamin C as claimed in the court of law

Yea it's possible. I could remember there was a time it was rumored that some people died after taken a particular mineral, i think is 7Up and Mango and of which we know that fruits are the primary source of vitamin C.

This is what happens

Vitamin c( abscorbic acid) causes decarbonization on benzoic acid.

C6H5COOH(benzoic acid) + abscorbic acid = abscorbic acid attached with CO2 + C6H6 (benzene )

What actually happened is that abscorbic acid removed CO2 from benzoic acid to give benzene which is carcinogenic.

We've been drinking "poison" since but we never die. undecided

The poison in this case will not kill outright. It causes cancer in The body. Must be part of the reason there is increase in cases of cancer in the country

I am a bit skeptical about the whole fanta and sprite stuff...............

1. Is it only fanta and sprite that contain benzoic acid and benzoates?

2. The decarboxylation of benzoates by ascorbic acid requires d presence of either iron(III) or Copper(II) ions... What are the likely Source of these ions in a fanta or sprite?

3. Benzoates and benzoic acid are used widely in many products ranging from antiseptic soaps and cosmetics to beverages and insecticides.
If its presence in these products Has a health harzard therein... Why is Nafdac, son, Iso allowing such products to roam our consumer base?

Still confounded why would anyone consciously take sprite and vitamin C.

Still confounded how they arrived at the understanding that benzoic acid is poisonous when taken with ascorbic acid.

This is the same substance found in coca cola products shipped from Nigeria to the Uk and the drinks were destroyed, because the substance was deemed not fit for human consumption.

So why was product allowed for human consumption in Nigeria

100% of carbonated drinks contain sodium benzoate.. people usually use sprite, fanta and zobo to prepare chapman and also use fruits rich in ascorbic acid such as apple, watermelon and orange to garnish.. but my question is why is this news of the dangers coming up now.. something is obviously not right...
does the ingredients just magically reacts in the body why doesn't it just react in the place where they make the mixture and render it useless why does it have to react in the body.. am wondering
