>I have written a little here about Benzene
Benzene itself is toxic. This is of no relevance to molecules containing benzene rings, however. Many vital biological molecules contain benzene rings. Examples include vitamin E and vitamin K. The natural proteins of the body have a vast number of benzene rings on amino acids such as phenylalanine. This does not make them toxic.
I think it's best not to try and teach chemistry unless you understand it.
