Propyl gallate
A synthetic preservative that can cause asthmatic reactions and stomach irritation.
Sodium benzoate
An artificial preservative that can become carcinogenic when mixed with Vitamin C in large amounts.
Sulfites (potassium bisulfite, sodium sulfite)

Acesulfame-K
An artificial sweetener that has been linked to high blood sugar levels.
Aspartame
An artificial sweetener that has been linked to high blood sugar levels.
Glycols (propylene glycol)
Artificial substance that can be used as a solvent, preservative, or sweetener. Can be toxic to the kidneys, liver, and nervous system.
Saccharin
