Do you think it's legal that food, or other manufacturers use ingredients that can potentially harm you or cause unease, in order to make you use more of their products or get any kind of addiction from it?

1 - a) look on your household cleaner ingredients listing... do you find "Sodium lauryl/ laureth sulfate"? ( bad? or not? or bad or not? or bad???
b) look on your shampoo ingredients list... do you find the same ingredient?
c) now look on your toothpaste: do you find this ingredient again?

Failing that ,you always have the option of trusting your government and their determinations on just how harmful an ingredient is. If it was dangerous, they'd ban it. right?

The growth of organic has been blithely immune to evidence about its pros or cons. Even the Soil Association, back in 2001, admitted that the 'perception that organic food is "good for you" appears to have been largely based on intuition rather than conclusive evidence'. There is no evidence that the tiny levels of synthetic pesticides in our food present any real threat to human health. Indeed, some academics, such as Anthony Trewavas of Edinburgh University, argue that consumers are potentially more at risk from natural chemicals in organic crops

Organic food remains a luxury for those who don't mind paying extra for a warm glow, to feel that they are 'aware' and 'making a difference'. When money is no object, you can look down on the attempt to produce more, faster, cheaper as crude and uncouth. Romantic visions of harmony with nature are a dalliance, more than a practical reality. Prince Charles can wander around his pesticide-free estate, but when he comes back in he has personal assistants on hand to clean his shoes for him (or squeeze his toothpaste). Buyers of Spiezia organic beauty cream don't get their hands dirty; they just hand more cash over the counter.

Juicing the truth
A new ad by US orange juice promoters tries to scare consumers away from 'chemical-packed' rivals.
by Elizabeth Whelan
A recent ad by US orange juice promoters the Florida Department of Citrus - referred to on its website as 'The Laboratory' - shamelessly plays on consumer fears of 'chemicals' lurking in competing beverages. Particularly chemicals you cannot pronounce.
Why the scare tactic by orange juice flacks?
Orange juice sales are down - way down. What with families on the run skipping breakfast, and obsessive adherence to low-carb regimens, there are fewer and fewer cartons, jugs and bottles of orange juice in the shopping cart.
So it is no surprise that the Florida Department of Citrus has upped its advertising to get people to drink up. One of the ads is just plain silly and a bit revolting: it features a guy popping raw fish, rutabaga, liver and brussel sprouts into a blender to make a 'healthy drink', then suggesting that downing a glass of Florida orange juice was a more palatable route to good health.
The ad's orange juice hero sprints through a lab filled with foaming test tubes, pointing to cauldrons of high fructose corn syrup, inositol, pyridoxine hydrochloride, stumbling while trying to pronounce these ingredients and suggesting that people who drink processed juices and soft drinks are exposing themselves to scary 'chemicals'. The alternative? Drink Florida orange juice because it is 'simple' and 'natural' - and, of course, 'natural' has come to mean free of chemicals and thus, it is implied, safer and healthier than other drinks.
But what exactly is orange juice? It is the juice from Citrus sinensis (the botanical name), and all natural oranges contain a spectrum of chemicals, some with volatile properties, including: phenylethyl alcohols; acetone; formic acid; acetaldehyde; esters of formic, acetic and caprylic acids; geraniol; and terpineol.
The juice also contains B-sitosteryl-D glucosde and B-sitosterol. In the process of juicing, orange juice inevitably picks up bits of the orange peel, which has d-limonene, citral, citranellal and methyl ester of anthranilic acid, with a chaser of caprilic acid esters and decylic-aldehyde. Some of these chemicals - like acetaldehyde and d-limonene - even cause cancer when fed to rodents at high dose.
I wonder if our hero dashing through the lab could pronounce all the chemicals in the orange juice he is promoting?
Advertisements of this sort are just plain misleading - and completely unnecessary. Orange juice is a perfectly wholesome drink and a delicious way to pick up some ascorbic acid (vitamin C), folic acid, potassium and more. Why use scare tactics to frighten consumers about drinking (harmless) 'chemicals' in other drinks - just to promote sales of the 100 per cent natural chemicals that comprise orange juice?
