Advantage to .. OR .. Advantage for .. ??

Peace be upon u ..

It's fairly disturbing .. !!

When can I use ( to ) or ( for ) after advantage ??

Are they the same ??

Is it all right to use both of them any time in any sentence no matter what the objcect is ??

( Object = Somebody or Something ) ..

When I say .. for instance ..

There are alot of advantages .... organic food . ( for or to ) ..

Which one must be chosen ??





I hope I could make it clear ..



Thanks alot ..
