More on oils adulteration-flavor oils

[Guest guest]

Flavor oils are complex compounds made for the food trade. They are

fine when used in the volumes that trade use them in, but the danger

is home use where the tendency is to use far too much. If you do use

such oils, then I suggest you don't use more than 2-3 drops in say a

cake or something like that.
