Have another one. They keep each other busy.

From your tone, you didn't seem to give her the same cred that you gave the other scientist, so I just wanted to be sure. Carry on!

Read me again. Kluge went off on my subject line without looking at the substance in question (HBCD) as far as I could tell because I identified it as a fire retardant instead of a specific chemical structure. I later posted a study showing it harmful in some concentration, for that reason. I don't have any disrespect for anyone seriously discussing it. (Kluge included)

"Contained traces". At trace levels or parts per billion you can find about anything in everything.

Just for scale, how much would one part per billion be?

• one silver dollar in roll
stretching from Detroit to
Salt Lake City,
• one sheet in a roll of toilet
paper stretching from New
York to London,
• one second in nearly 32
years, or
• one pinch of salt in 10 tons
of potato chips.

One part per trillion would be 1000 times smaller than even that.

According to the study report, they were finding between 0.003 and 0.005 parts per billion. (0.003 ng/ gram wet weight) which would be 3- 5 parts per trillion or one pinch of salt in 10,000 tons of potato chips.

What annoys me about peanut butter is that "they" ususually remove most of the penut oil and replace it with lard or some other cheap oil. If I wanted peanut w/lard, I would have purchased that.

...but who still eats peanut butter? I thought it was some sort of evil killing substance that preys on innocent little children - it was banished from the earth, no?

I loathe this type of argument.

Hydrogen peroxide is a rocket fuel. It is also a disinfectant used on cuts and to disinfect things like toothbrushes.

OMG! YOU'RE PUTTING ROCKET FUEL IN YOUR MOUTH! YOU'RE GONNA DIE!

(There's thousands of other examples FWIW.)

Granted, peanut butter should probably shouldn't have HBCD in it, but my reaction to this stupid type of argument is just to roll my eyes.

I use hydrogen peroxide as mouthwash. Rubbing alcohol too.
