Post subject: | Drinks Contain Ingredients That Can Form Benzene |
On February 24 and February 27, 2006, EWG ( Environment Working Group) purchased the following drinks at four major retail outlets in Washington, DC. They all contained ascorbic acid and either sodium benzoate or potassium benzoate—the ingredients that the FDA and the beverage industry have said can mix together to form benzene, a known human carcinogen. The actual levels of benzene formed in these products may be at trace levels and within legal limits for drinking water. EWG has no information indicating that benzene is actually present in any of these products at any level, however, we recommend that consumers avoid any amount of benzene in drinks intended for children (listed alphabetically): Country Time Lemonade Crystal Light Sunrise Classic Orange Diet Pepsi Twist Diet Pepsi Vanilla Diet RockStar Energy Drink Fanta Orange Fanta Pineapple Fruit20 Plus 10 Natural Apple Giant Fruity Punch Cooler Hawaiian Punch Fruit Juicy Red Hawaiian Punch Lemonade Hi-C Blast, Orange Supernova Kool-Aid Jammers Blue-Raspberry Kool-Aid Jammers Cherry Kool-Aid Jammers Grape Kool-Aid Jammers Orange Lo-Carb Monster Energy Monster Energy Pepsi Twist Lemon RockStar Energy Drink Sierra Mist Sunkist Sunny D Sunny D Baja Sunny D Intense Sport Cool Punch Sunny D Orange-Fused Strawberry Sunny D Smooth Sunny D Smooth + Calcium Tampico Citrus Punch Tampico Grape Punch Tampico Tropical Punch Tropicana Twister Diet Soda (Diet Orange) Tropicana Twister Soda Grape Tropicana Twister Soda Orange Tropicana Twister Soda Strawberry |
