Some Soda Drinks Contain Cancer-Causing Benzene, FDA Finds

Rubatex Neoprene (AXcess News) Washington - The Food and Drug Administration said that it found a high level of cancer-causing benzene in five of the 100 soft drinks and beverages that it tested. But the FDA also said that not every lot tested had the same levels of benzene, stopping short of ordering a recall.

To prevent dehydration, take frequent sips of a rehydration drink (such as Lytren, Rehydralyte, or Pedialyte). Try to drink a cup of water or rehydration drink for each large, loose stool you have. Sports drinks, soda pop, or fruit juices contain too much sugar and not enough of the important electrolytes that are lost during diarrhea and should only be taken alternately with a rehydration drink. You can make your own rehydration drink.

Rubatex Pipe The levels of benzene discovered in the five soft drinks and beverages were more than the recommended 5 parts per billion limit for drinking water.

Eliminate regular sodas as they contain a large amount of sugar in them. Instead, drink diet sodas (However, be warned with the fact that they contain Aspartame and some research indicates that high consumption of Aspartame may cause cancer in the long run).
Eliminate the use of table sugars.
Eliminate the consumption of any type of sweets.

Rubatex Pipe Insulation "Although one sample from a production lot may contain elevated benzene levels, it does not mean that all the products from that lot will have elevated levels, or that all lots of a given product will contain elevated levels," the FDA said.

Rubatex 180 The five soft drinks/beverages, which had excess levels of benzene, were
* Safeway Select Diet Orange - one lot was found to have 79.2 parts per billion of benzene
* AquaCal Strawberry Flavored Water Beverage - one lot was found to have 23.4 parts per billion
* Crystal Light Sunrise Classic Orange - one lot was found to have 87.9 parts per billion
* Giant Light Cranberry Juice Cocktail - one lot was found to have 10.7 parts per billion
* Crush Pineapple - one lot was found to have 9.2 parts per billion

Rubatex 180 Fs Doctor Laura Tarantino, director of the FDA's Office of Food Additive Safety said that most of the drinks tested by the agency had very low levels of benzene, "The vast majority of the products we were looking at had very, very low or not detectable levels of benzene, but there were a very few that had levels that were higher," she stressed.

Rubatex 1800 Dr Tarantino added that drinking these sodas did not pose a health risk, "This is likely an occasional exposure, it's not a chronic exposure. Obviously, no benzene is something someone wants to have, but the amount of benzene you are getting in a soda is very, very small compared to what you're being exposed to every day from environmental sources," she added.

Rubatex 320 Benzene in soft drinks has become a very sensitive matter these days. The chemical id formed as a result of a reaction between Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and either sodium benzoate or potassium benzoate, which are contained in soft drinks and beverages. However the reaction does not occur as a rule, but takes place as an exception when the conditions are ideal for the reaction to take place.

Rubatex 373 Benzene is a chemical, which is linked to cancer in humans. It is released into the air from automobile emissions, burning coal and oil. Benzene is also used extensively in industries, which produce chemicals, dyes, detergents, synthetic fibers, solvents, rubber and some plastics.

Rubatex Rubber Workers in chemical industry, gas stations, gasoline distribution jobs, rubber industry, printing industry and leather industry are also at a high risk since they are chronically exposed to benzene.

As such the FDA does not have a upper limit for benzene in soft drinks. Rather it follows the five parts per billion (ppb) limit set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for drinking water. The FDA's website says that benzene can cause harm at "very low levels." It adds that exposure to light can trigger the formation of benzene in the soft drinks.
