Innocent Drinks and 34.3 g of sugar. This is nearly 30% more than Coca Cola in terms of sugar content. However, it does not contain any of the artificial ingredients found in soft drinks like Coca Cola and is instead made from natural fruit. Three academic papers, produced by researchers at Oxford Brookes University and the University of Aberdeen were commissioned by Innocent. In the first study, scientists at the Department of Biological and Medical Sciences, Oxford Brookes University, claimed suggestions that puréeing fruit destroys the cell wall matrix that gives fruit its structure and makes smoothies less fibrous than fruit eaten
Benzene in soft drinks abstraction by the hydroxyl radical, which itself is produced by the Cu-catalysed reduction of dioxygen by ascorbic acid: Other factors that affect the formation of benzene are heat and light. Storing soft drinks in warm conditions speeds up the formation of benzene. Calcium disodium EDTA and sugars have been shown to inhibit benzene production in soft drinks. The International Council of Beverages Associations (ICBA) has produced advice to prevent or minimize benzene formation. Various authorities have set limits on benzene content in drinking water. The following limits are given in parts per billion (ppb; μg/kg). The EPA and California have
