Stuff and nonsense, that's pop-sci territory. Kind of like "your fingernails and facial hair keep growing when you die" sort of stuff, it's just nu-wives' tales. Preservatives that we eat have no bearing on our decomposition, as our bodies break those down and incorporate them fairly well (surprising, was hoping to be incorruptible thanks to Taco Bell's sodium benzoate in their sauce).

Sucks, the situation here. I mean obviously there's no point in getting worked up because it already happened lmao. I just want to know the hows and whys at this point.
