What can happen if you are commonly exposed to benzoate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No effects: Benzoic acid (benzoate) is a chemical intermediate. It is used as a preservative when it attaches to other molecules. By itself it does not have any known harmful effects: http://www.epa.gov/iris/subst/0355.htm#oralrfd
