Nanny State PING!

Steyrene sounds really good.....

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

you can have my 7-methyl-3-methylene-1 when you pry it out of my cold, dead hands...just not the same ring...

[FatherofFive]

Eat real food.

[Organic Panic]

What scary sounding chemical names. No description of what the flavor actually is, just scary sounding names. And no mention of how much of the product you would have to ingest and for how long before any harm.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

The flavors include Benzophenone, are also known as diphenylketone;Ethyl acrylate; Eugenyl methyl ether, also known as 4-allylveratrole or methyl eugenol; Myrcene, also known as 7-methyl-3-methylene-1,6-octadiene; Pulegone, also known as p-menth-4(8)-en-3-one; Pyridine; Styrene; and Trans,trans-2,4-hexadienal.

Ummm....those are all chemicals. Not food flavors.

A food flavor is...bananna, bacon, cherry, chocolate, vanilla, etc...

Then quit giving them to animals.

When the Center for Science in the Public Interest is involved, there is often a hefty dose of BS involved.

[Politically Correct]

Some of these are nothing more than odd essential oils distilled from plants. Most are not used in food. This is mostly just crap science as carcinogenisis is only at high doses in rats with extrapolation to humans at low doses.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

the Center for Science in the Public Interest, the Center for Food Safety, Consumers Union, Improving Kids’ Environment and the Center for Environmental Health, the Environmental Working Group and Dr. James Huff, the former associate director for chemical carcinogenesis at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences signed the petition.

Looking at this list of supporters I am going to call fraud.
