Sodium Benzoate
Sodium benzoate is a synthetic preservative which has been shown to have an antibiotic effect on
the essential friendly gut flora.  Possibly the largest use of sodium benzoate is as an anticorrosive,
and antifreeze additive, and in the production of plastics and as a stabilizer in photographic
baths/processing.
