Of course, journalists and consumer agencies are quick to remind us that benzene is a carcinogenic substance, should be forbidden, yaddayaddayadda.

So now we have the curious situation that we have two ingredients naturally occurring in a lot of plants which are not allowed to be mixed because it produces a chemical which causes cancer on the long term.

I daresay the solution is likely going to come from the fact that we shouldn't eat nor drink anything at all.  :roll:

That certainly prevents death caused from cancer!

The average life expectancy in Malawi is 37 years. One quarter of children do not live to see their fifth birthday; 48% of those under five are malnourished.

Malawi's Starve

It's a fact, few people in Malawi die of cancer.

Move to Malawi and your benzene worries are over!

Lately, I've begun switching to water: simple, costs almost nothing, and no health-issues whatsoever.

 CAUTION!
Large amounts of water hazardous!
water intoxication

chug down about three quarts of water or more all at once to come down with a case of true water intoxication. These people become drowsy, lightheaded, and weak. They have trouble coordinating bodily movements and thinking straight, looking and feeling as if they just stumbled out of the local bar. But the water-intoxicated can't just go home and sleep it off. They must get treatment or risk going into convulsions, a coma, or even death.

AND Water can interfere with breathing!
