Guest guest Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 I've been reading and reading but haven't found a definitive answer regarding the best formulation of a magnesium supplement. Any advice? Thanks in advance!DebSent from my iPhoneDeborah K.

It is formally considered a toxic substance by Environment Canada (feds) and a global ban on it's use is slated for 2015, except for what is considered 'critical use' (ie to avoid a disruption in a specific commercial market). "In 1992, Parties to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer recognized that methyl bromide has an ozone-depleting potential (ODP); thus it is identified as an ozone-depleting substance. Since January 1st, 2005, the manufacture, import and export of methyl bromide has been prohibited in Canada, except for use in quarantine and pre-shipment applications, as feedstock, as analytical standards, or for critical or emergency use." http://www.ec.gc.ca/toxiques-toxics/Default.asp?lang=En & n=98E80CC6-1 & xml=B5655CBB-5B04-4D86-ADFC-BC480C437E12 The US has requested that 9,000 metric tonnes (out of a global total of 16,000) be considered critical use in the US. Nearly 40% of all methyl bromide in the US is used on only two crops: Florida tomatoes and California strawberries. http://www.sierraclub.ca/national/postings/montreal-protocol.html I'm not saying Canada is maintaining high levels of regulation esp with this 'critical use' exemption clause. A quick google shows that you can still buy bromide in Canada at Walmart for your spa (along with the suggested purchase of goggles! love it!). http://www.walmart.ca/Outdoor-Living/Pools-amp-Accessories/Pool-Chemicals/Spa-Chemicals-SpaCare-Bromide Ziggy > > > > April, > > > > You might want to ask. Though since bromated flour is usually wheat flour, and is used in gluten products to "promote gluten development in dough," I doubt it would be in gluten free products, but you never know. > > > > Thought this link might be of interest: "What is Bromated Flour" > > http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-bromated-flour.htm > > > > Greg > > > > - > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
