On top of the high fructose corn syrup, this imitation fruit beverage risks a known reaction of citric acid and sodium benzoate to create the carcinogen benzene right in the bottle (and the plastic makes it worse).
The soda companies and the FDA knew in 1990; the public found out in 2006 that these ingredients were creating a public health hazard no one wants to address.
From the American Chemical Society in 1993 - Benzene production from decarboxylation of benzoic acid in the presence of ascorbic acid and a transition-metal catalyst
