Wolfberries Package Warning ?

[Guest guest]

Hi Joseph,

 

>>>>I said all that just to confirm somewhat that I actually have the right

product because on the back it gives this warning:

 

 

" Under California Proposition 65: Warning, This product contains

chemical(s) known to the State of California to cause cancer, or birth

defects or other reproductive harm. "

 

I searched the package for a clue as to any other possible additives or

ingredients and couldn't find any.

 

Geese, what do you think that means?

 

 

****This may be one possibility:

Toxic Heavy Metals and Undeclared Drugs in Asian Herbal Medicines

 

Abstract

 

 

Asian herbal medicines are currently used by large sections of the

population. Because they are not regulated as medicines and are freely

available to everyone, serious safety concerns might be associated with

these herbal medicines. In this article, evidence suggesting that some Asian

herbal medicines contain toxic heavy metals or undeclared prescription drugs

is reviewed. In particular, Indian and Chinese preparations have been

implicated. Although adulteration with drugs is by definition fraudulent,

the inclusion of heavy metals could be either intentional for alleged

medicinal purposes or accidental. Evidence from various countries implies

that toxic heavy metals and undeclared prescription drugs in Asian herbal

medicines might constitute a serious health problem. However, the majority

of the data is anecdotal and insufficient to define prevalence figures. Ways

ought to be found to maximize consumer safety.

 

 

 

I would not eat a product with such a warning on the package, without

thoroughly investigating it first.
