I have been suffering from tremendous hair fall problem and therefore recently started taking amla juice every morning on empty stomach by a dosage of 20 ml mixed with honey and water. However on researching through some blogs, I learnt that the sodium benzoate used as a preservative in amla juice on reacting with vitamin c (amla) forms benzene, which is a carcinogenic agent. Please help with real facts on this. Whether or not to continue with the juice. And other alternatives to control my hair fall and bring new growth.
