Thinking of the ultimate survivability, Wouldn't the worlds most powerful preservative be a source for preservation of the deceased efficiently?

Chemicals considered to be sweet are very good preservatives, Wouldn't the Sweetest Substance in the World be the ultimate Preservative?

This is a question, not a Spectulation.
