Formulation

I recently posted this comment on a site discussing the negative effects of consuming sodium benzoate. When combined with Vitamin C, benzene is produced. This compound can cause leukemia and other immunological deficiencies.

::It has not been noted here yet that benzene is the anti-knocking chemical additive in gasoline that replaced lead in leaded gasoline. I believe the content is 1%.

Also note - a common antibiotic such as Bactrim contains 15% sodium benzoate as an inactive ingredient. Now imagine the immunological damage brought upon one's self, trying to get well, when one tragically thinks that concurrent Vitamin C supplementation will bring a rapid end to their acute sickness while taking that antibiotic. Oh and btw, Vitamin C is used for cell regeneration - has nothing to do with lymphocytes (yer immune fighters). And, as an antioxidant, oxidative bursts used by lymphocytes (their weapon to kill bad dudes) is suppressed. So in this scenario, the antibiotic carpet bombs the enemy, where the landscape is left undefended, toxified, in agricultural ruin.

Knowing is half the battle - G.I.Joe! Com'n, can't be serious about that stuff. Wait, yes, yes I am. It's very real. Unfortunately, clinical recognition is painfully lacking. Benzene poisoning + antioxidative stress = immunodeficiencies that manifest into many forms of atopic and chronic symptoms. Get your CD4/8's tested via a Lymphocyte Panel to verify resultant overall damage. A simple WBC or CBC is insufficient.
