One cannot totally attribute ones diet to ones dis-ease as there are many factors that play a role as well. Medications, lifestyle, environmental toxins, etc. Diet is more often than not a major contributing factor in ill health. But to break it down and say that eating eggs or cheese caused your problem is a little too far out in left field and quite irresponsible. Cancers and other dis-eases begin in childhood and only manifest themselves as we age. This is the one single factor not taken into account in all medical and scientific research. The best dis-ease prevention is a natural diet, stress free lifestyle (at least as much as is possible), pure water, lots of fresh air, exercise and plenty of sunlight. If you must consume flesh then eat it organic and preferrably raw. Benzoic acid is used to: PRESERVING FOODS, FATS, FRUIT JUICES, ALKALOIDAL SOLN; MFR BENZOATES & BENZOYL COMPOUNDS, DYES; IN CALICO PRINTING; FOR CURING TOBACCO; AS STD IN VOLUMETRIC AND CALORIMETRIC ANALYSIS AS ULTRAVIOLET ABSORBER IN PLASTICS CHEMICAL INT IN SYNTH OF SODIUM BENZOATE AND BUTYL BENZOATE Plasticizers, benzoyl chloride; alkyd resins; food preservative; seasoning tobacco; flavors; perfumes; dentifrices; standard in analytical chemistry; antifungal agent Production of phenol and caprolactam Temporary plugging in subterranean formations in oil production Corrosion inhibitor PLANT GROWTH REGULATOR IN INFECTIONS OF HEAVILY KERATINIZED AREAS, ESPECIALLY SOLES OF FEET, BENZOIC AND SALICYLIC ACID OINTMENT (WHITFIELD'S OINTMENT) MAY BE USEFUL TO REMOVE HEAVY LAYERS OF KERATIN AND THUS PERMIT PENETRATION OF MORE POTENT ANTIFUNGAL DRUGS. BENZOIC ACID, USUALLY IN FORM OF SODIUM SALT, HAS LONG BEEN USED AS ANTIMICROBIAL ADDITIVE IN FOODS. SODIUM SALT PREFERRED BECAUSE OF LOW AQ SOLUBILITY OF FREE ACID. IN USE SALT IS CONVERTED TO ACID, ACTIVE FORM. BENZOIC ACID WAS EFFECTIVE FOR THE PRESERVATION OF ORAL PHARMACEUTICAL LIQUIDS. INHIBITION OF THE GROWTH OF MOLDS WAS USED AS A PARAMETER. BENZOIC ACID WAS THE MOST EFFECTIVE, FOLLOWED BY SORBIC ACID, & ETHYL PARABEN. HAS BEEN USED TO CONTROL BLACK ROT OF PINEAPPLE PHARMACEUTIC AID (ANTIFUNGAL AGENT); VET: HAS BEEN USED WITH SALICYLIC ACID AS TOPICAL ANTIFUNGAL IN CONCN OF 0.1% IT PREVENTS BACTERIAL & FUNGAL GROWTH IN FOOD IF MEDIUM IS SLIGHTLY ACIDIC.
