2- Methylphnaphthalene : U.S. Regulators Out of the Loop on Chemical Risks

This chemical is being added to our cereal.
A chemical that is untested in human consumption and yet it is in our cereal.
Why ??!!

Where is our F.D.A. and regulators and laws to ensure our safety that our taxes pay for ??!!
What is this toxic chemical doing in our cereal and for what benefit ?

Hmmmmm...

"naphthalene" sounds like an oil derivative...

This could be interesting...

Naphthalene is a hydrocarbon!

From Wikipedia:

Naphthalene, also known as naphthalin, bicyclo[4.4.0]deca-1,3,5,7,9-pentene or antimite is a crystalline, aromatic, white, solid hydrocarbon with formula C10H8 and the structure of two fused benzene rings. It is best known as the traditional, primary ingredient of mothballs.

Which means it's a byproduct of crude oil!

The majority of hydrocarbons found naturally occur in crude oil, where decomposed organic matter provides an abundance of carbon and hydrogen which, when bonded, can catenate to form seemingly limitless chains

Hope you like eating mothballs for breakfast!

Nothing to see here people....

Move along!!!


OP: Change the thread title to 2-methl...": This stuff is in your cereal!"
