Default A preservative and yogurt cheese?

ANTI Yeastie beastie experts please answer:

Benzoic acid is a preservative. Open and read way down until you see it listed on this page : http://www.bact.wisc.edu/microtextb.../chemAgent.html

It is an acid (people on the anti-yeast diet are supposed to avoid vinegars and acids right?)

BUT Benzoid acid is a preservative specifically BECAUSE it inhibits the growth of FUNGIs...yeast IS fungi!

So, wouldn't it be okay for an anti yeast dieter?
It is in liquid sweetnlow - and other liquid sweeteners (for those of us avoiding maltodextrins or even carbs in very small amounts in other sweeteners. If it is used to preserve cider/it is used as an antifungal agent - so does that make the cider (acidic) okay?
-----------
Also, anti-yeasters are supposed to avoid cheeses/but what about YOGURT cheese that SAYS it has probiotic "ophilus" stuff in it? Is that kind of cheese okay?

Oh yes, and nut oils...great monosaturated oils, but warned against nuts (molds)? But it's jus the oil so I think it's okay for her. Yes? No?
Not for me, for my family member on low carb. Thanks.

nsmith4366 - I can't address all of your questions, however, I can tell you the reason people with Candida are warned off of vinegar is not because it's acidic, but because it is fermented. Fermented things = mold.

Default OH okay.

Right, thanks! Does yeast thrive in an alkaline environment or an acidic environment?

I found the answer! Candida flourishes in an alkaline environment, but "Obviously, an imbalance of pH in either direction allows the opportunistic yeast to flourish."

I guess we need to be balanced.

see about 3-4th paragraph down.

But what about YOGURT CHEESE???
