Mitochondria serve as the “power stations” for cells, and damage to them can lead to serious cell malfunctions associated with aging and age-related disease.线粒体作为“电力站”为细胞，并损害他们可以导致严重的故障相关的细胞老化和年龄有关的疾病。 The damage caused by sodium benzoate was great enough to cause the mitochondria to stop functioning.所造成的损害苯甲酸钠是伟大的足以引起线粒体停止运作。

Sodium benzoate occurs naturally in berries in small amounts, but is used in large quantities to prevent mold in soft drinks such as Sprite, Diet Pepsi, Coca-Cola, and Dr Pepper.苯甲酸钠发生自然在浆果在少量，但所用的大量，以防止模具在软性饮料，如雪碧，饮食百事可乐，可口可乐，和Dr Pepper 。 It is also added to pickles and sauces.这也是添加到咸菜和酱料。

Professor Peter Piper, the UK expert who discovered the problem, says that the soft drink preservative can “totally inactivate” and “knock out” cells’ mitochondria.教授彼得派珀，英国专家谁发现的问题指出，汽水防腐剂可以“完全灭活”和“淘汰”细胞的线粒体。 The end result is an increased risk of a slew of diseases.最终的结果是风险增加了许多疾病。

Sodium benzoate has previously also come under fire because, when combined with the vitamin C in many soft drinks, it forms苯甲酸钠以前也受到火灾，因为，当合并与维生素C在许多软饮料，它的形式 benzene, a cancer-causing chemical苯，癌症引起的化学 linked to leukemia.联系到早幼粒细胞白血病。 In one study, at least five brands of soft drinks were found to contain excessive benzene levels.在一项研究中，至少有五个品牌的软饮料被发现含有过量苯的水平。
