My Chiroprator warned me not to gargle with Glyco Thymoline, a mouthwash
containing Sodium Benzoate because Benzine is toxic. But if it is used
in food  as a flavour enhancer and preservative, how can it be toxic?
Glyco Thymoline, an Edgar Cayce formula, is an alkaline mouthwash  and 
more, according to my information. Thank you very much for you help, Edyth
Thank you for your help
