Now who do we trust?

I just read that the Attorney General of California has filed a lawsuit against:

• Avalon Natural
• Whole Foods Market California
• Beaumont Products
• Nutribiotic

This because they have failed to give clear and reasonable warning of the presence of 1,4-Dioxane in their products.

Under the states Proposition 65 consumer products should not expose consumers to chemicals known to the state to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity without giving clear and reasonable warning. And when adding 1,4-Dioxane in their products Avalon Natural and the others failed to follow the law.

Is 1,4-Dioxane bad?

Water containing 1,4-dioxane causes cancer in lab rats.

Studies in animals have shown that skin contact with 1,4-dioxane can result in liver and kidney damage.

Even big companies that market themselves an natural and better are not to be trusted.

I always thought that natural meant existing in or formed by nature -not artificial.

But the industry standard has become that natural is any ingredient derived from something natural. Derived with a synthetic process. They can make “natural” vanilla aroma from cow dung. I wish natural could be not artificial and stop having to feel like I need to check and double check everything I buy.
