  Nonsense published by Modern Medicine

  I can’t comment because I am not registered with MM (Dermatology Times included it in the latest online edition)

  We learn from a Mr Bekas that:

  “Vitamin E actually serves as a good natural preservative. … neem oil is a great natural preservative and citric acid, which comes from citrus fruit, is a great natural preservative, as well.” 

  and

  “In the cases where the natural preservatives wouldn’t prevent bacterial growth, Made from Earth uses tetrasodium EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid), which is a salt-based preservative, according to Mr. Bekas.”
  

  
  

  GRRRRR!

  Except for nonsense from Mr. Bekas (crap across the board) it was mostly a pretty fair article.

  Tetrasodium EDTA as a preservative? Especially in a typical pH environment of 5 or so? (rough guess). Then Vitamin E as a preservative? He was way off!
