    Benzene is used to make a large portion of all chemicals in existence, as it is a basic building block of organic chemistry. That doesn’t mean it’s in the final product.

    This is an asinine headline capitalizing on scientific illiteracy for clickbait. No different than complaining about dihydrogen monoxide in food.
