Guest guest Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 I recently found an interesting bid of information buried 20 pages back in the FDA's write-up on Propylene Glycol. Kids under the age of 4 cannot clear it from their body due to the immaturity of their liver. Adults on certain medications can't clear it either! The toxic effect is liver and kidney dammage! This short article has the details: http://www.helium.com/items/907612-propylene-glycol-worst-nightmaredo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very commonly used...I wonder how many other makers of " natural " items use it?
