Well..... what if you have a ....Orange juice and Coke ?
huh?
(I hope you're right)
But, Benzine DOES cause Lymphoma
Yes, if you mix orange juice and coke in a glass you will get a really small amount of benzene, we are talking about 1-4 PPB (particle per billion). You basically breath more then that (especially if you live in a big city).
Benzene DOES NOT cause lymphoma, only Leukemia.
Listen to this, you need to drink 20 liters of benzene contaminated soft drink (that represent .03% of soft drinks, and coke is not one of them) to get the same amount that you would get by breathing air.
If you don't smoke, your main source of benzene in your body is from breathing air, and not from soft drink (unless you drink 20 liters a day)
Here you have good solid information
Benzene Toxicity: Physiologic Effects | ATSDR - CSEM (http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/csem/benzene/physiologic_effects.html - broken link)
"Benzene-induced leukemia has a usual latency period of 5 to 15 years and, in many cases, is preceded by aplastic anemia."
Strong connection to Leukemia, like I said before.
"Several reports relate benzene exposure to a variety of lymphatic tumors including non-Hodgkin lymphoma and multiple myeloma. Although this is plausible, there is no scientific proof of a causal relationship. The association between exposure to benzene and development of nonhematologic tumors remains inconclusive."
Still it really doesnt matter, you breath more benzene than you can possibly drink
DRINK ! ! ! ????
What about inhalation ?????
