Consumer Alert! Is Your Juice or Supplement Safe?


The fact is, many of you out there, including us, have joined the superfood craze not only for business reasons but also because it's supposed to help us healthwise, right? Well, not all are created equal. Take a look at this consumer alert below and find out for yourself. When we discovered the facts about this preservative we started looking at all of the liquid supplements we were even purchasing from the store that could cause Benzene. Pretty frightening!

Just Remember, nothing is a panacea. You also should also subscribe to living a stress-free life (as much as possible), exercise and eat right. ;)

CONSUMER ALERT! Is Your Juice Safe?

Liquid juice blends commonly use Sodium Benzoate and Ascorbic Acid as preservatives. Research shows that these two preservatives combined may produce dangerous levels of Benzene.

What the government says about Benzene:
The maximum contaminant level of benzene in drinking water is 5 ppb. The National Primary Drinking Water Regulations promulgated by EPA in 1987 set a maximum contaminant level for benzene of 0.005 ppm (5 ppb). This regulation is based on preventing benzene leukemogenesis.
