Sodium benzoate is a widely used food preservative that can potentially cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals and may form benzene, a carcinogen, when combined with vitamin C in acidic conditions.

You made me look up when high fructose corn syrup was introduced in the beverage industry… 1970s. Which is what I thought, but I fact checked.

i appreciate the diligence! i didn't know that (but was very certain it wasn't the 1920s)

It was invented in the 5Os but not commercially sold until 70s. I recently read a book that talked about how Big Tobacco took over food companies in the early 80s and the syrup thing was mentioned.

It was but I was reading it waiting to get a root canal and a crown in the same day.
