1. Drug / Medicine - Treats, alleviates, cures, or prevents sickness. As officially declared by a governmental drug/medicine regulatory body
Oxygen is a colorless and odorless diatomic gas, which is the third-most abundant element in the universe by mass, after hydrogen and helium. Common uses of oxygen include production of steel, plastics and textiles, brazing, welding and cutting of steels and other metals, rocket propellant, oxygen therapy, and life support systems in aircraft, submarines, spaceflight and diving.
As a food additive (E948), it is predominately used as a packaging gas for fresh vegetables, and in meat by allowing the meat to bloom into a nice cherry red color that's visually appealing and preservative free. The color of the meat can be controlled by adjusting the amount of oxygen.
It is approved to use as food additive in EU.
