I’ve been trying to find some information about food preservatives, but the Internet doesn’t give enough details. Here are my questions (post if you know an answer to any of these or have any help/info:

-Do food preservatives have a negative effect on the human body? (and which ones are capable of doing what)
-How negative/bad can those effects get?
-How much has to be ingested for harmful effects on the body?
-Do they affect the body’s immune system?
-Got any helpful websites about food preservatives and their effects on the human body?

-Okay, random, but I ran across this idea in a manga, xXxHolic. A girl dies but her body doesn’t rot days after her death because, supposedly, the preservatives found in food got into her blood system and it literally preserved her body. Is such a thing possible? (How freaky would that be??)

I really appreciate those who’ve answered my previous questions by the way. I know they seem random.

Additional:

I’ve been doing researching on funerals and embalming too. I think if I just looked a bit harder, I could find the answers to these questions, but I would appreciate help:

-Websites about either embalming process and how funerals work always appreciated
-How many days after a death is a funeral held, normally? Could it even be held the day after if the body could be prepared in time?
-Other than burial and cremation, any other types of funerals?
-What information is usually given on a tombstone? Name, life span I know but any other info normally given?
-How long does it take to prepare a body before it is buried? To cremate it?
-Is it legal to bury someone in the backyard (not a murder, a known death) or to make your own private family cemetery just outside/near your home?
-Odd question, but… I’ve been seeing so many Christian cemeteries, are there any cemeteries that are specifically for non-Christians?

Scaring you people? Ha, well, I just need this information for research.
Don’t you “mx mx” me.
Ahh I was thinking I’d never get an answer… Thank you so much.
