sodium benzoate

benzene is used to 'grow' tumors in mice in studies.

Does sodium benzoate in the presence of
ascorbic acid really pose a threat
as benzene in sodas? Or this largely
fears running wild? Much like with how
people are scared of artificial sweetners
and wrongly think aspartame or sucralose
will kill them or cause some terrible disease.

After reading numerous nurtrition books, I would avoid anything that
does not grow naturally in the soil (fruits, vegetablles). Thus I
would avoid sodium benzoate, artifical sweetners and so on
