VT Padmanabhan, Sodium benozoate and vitamin C reacts when the solution heated. Thus evolves Benzene, a known carconogen and mutagen.
Benzene has beben observed in cola drinks in US and UK for MANY YEARS. There was even a court case in UK, where the attorney of Pepsi did agree agree about. US FDA knew that there 1 ppb (and often more) of benzene in cola drinks. One ppb means, more than a trillion (1000,000,000,000) molecules ine gram of drink. Temperature in our part of the world is currently close to 50 C. You may look at the label of those bottles, some of them were bottled about a month ago. I bet the concentration our cola will be more than several ppms. Spread the word.
