Sodium Benzoate in pre-mixed nectars
19 years ago
Another reason for us to stop using those premixed nectars is that most of them contain Sodium Benzoate as a preservative.
"The soft drinks industry has known for 15 years that the preservative sodium benzoate can produce benzene if mixed with ascorbic acid \- more commonly known as Vitamin C"And benzene is a known carcinogen. Please don't use those premixed nectars they're not good for the health of the hummingbirds.
