Benzene is linked to leukemia and other forms of blood cancer. Levels in some sodas were 36 times those allowed in tap water.
Benzene has only been found in drinks that contain sodium benzoate E211, a preservative used widely by manufacturers to prevent growth of molds, and ascorbic acid E300, otherwise known as vitamin C. An absence of sugar from a drink and exposure to light and heat are also possible causes.
