WARNI N G
Against Benzoate of Soda
B1
iENZOATE of soda is not the
"innocent" drug that food
manufacturer's of a certain class
have tried to make the public be
lieve. Benzoate of soda is the original
"ouster." It ousted Dr. Harvey
W. Wiley and Dr. Floyd W. Rob
inson from their jobs in the
United States Bureau of Chem
istry. These men proved, in poison
squad tests, that benzoate of soda
was a real poison that should be
barred by law from all food prod
ucts. The manufacturers of benzoate of
soda financed certain food con
cerns, lobbyists and politicians to,
protect the future of their embalm
ing: chemical which was threatened
with official death.
So many politicians were mustered
into the service of benzoate of
soda that a President of the United
States was forced to compromise
with the strong; stand he had taken
against it.
This compromise was brought about
by the declaration that the ban
against benzoate would have to be
lifted until a referee board could
check up on the government tests
and prove them "worthless."
The Secretary of Agriculture at
once ordered Dr. Wiley to dis
continue all his experiments with
the drug, an order that ultimately
resulted in his resignation. Dr.
by
ALFRED W. McCANN
Robinson disobeyed the orders
and, after again proving the poi
sonous quality of benzoate, was re
moved from office for "the good of
the service."
Since that time benzoate of soda
has been winked at by the pure food
officials of the United States. Food
manufacturers who are ashamed
of it have proved, on a hundred
occasions, that it is wholly unneces
sary where decent raw materials,
clean hands and clean factory meth
ods are involved.
They have proved that its use is a
mere substitute for wholesomeness
and cleanliness and that it is em
ployed only to keep makeshift
compounds and cheap concoctions
from rotting before they can be
consumed.
Advertisements describing foods
that contain benzoate deliberately
lie when they declare that such
foods contain only such ingredients
as are recognized and endorsed by
the United States Government.
The United States Government does
not endorse the use of benzoate.
The politicians have forced the
government to tolerate its use, but
they have not been strong enough
to compel Uncle Sam to recall his
regulations requiring all food dope
sters to warn the public that benzo
ate is present in their low-grade
stuff.
The public should know by this
time that these warnings, invariably
written as follows: "Contains one-
tenth of one ,percent benzoate of
soda" are hushed and smothered
behind type so small as to hardly
be readable.
Not only are the food manufac
turers who do not use it ashamed of
it, but those who do use it are
ashamed of it, a fact proved by the
sneaking manner in which they
seek to hide its presence by all sorts
of trickery.
They take the most obscure place
on the label and by the aid of
border-lines and fine print make
the unwilling confession wrung
from them by the hypocritical law
that in one breath says the stuff is
unfit for human food and in another
permits its use if accompanied by
a warning.
Why should the public be asked
to consume any chemical against
which a warning has to be issued?
The public 'derives no benefit from
benzoate. Not those who have to
eat it but those who employ it for
the sake of profit, selling it to others
are its beneficiaries.
Benzoate of soda is the badge of
inferiority. Like saccharine it has
its friends. Like saccharine it is
Capable of fighting for its life. Like
saccharine it has no legitimate
place in any foodstuff fit to eat.
If you want to be protected from
this odious embalming agent, from
which you derive no benefit, open
your eyes and read the labels. You
have no other protection..
