"Consumer Reports (CR) tested 14 drinks containing both vitamin C and sodium benzoate for benzene, a potent carcinogen and found at least 2 parts per billion (ppb) of benzene in some samples of Fanta Pineapple soda, Kool-Aid Jammers Orange juice drink (the maker recently eliminated sodium benzoate), and Sunkist Grape and Orange sodas. Highest was one of three samples of Fanta Pineapple soda, at 6 ppb. Federal regulations allow 5 ppb of benzene in bottled or tap water. There's currently no standard for benzene in soft drinks."

I always knew those Fanta girls were covering up for something, but not my Sunkist orange soda :(
