I thought I had seen it all...

well, I thought I had seen it all on this list, but this recent

series

of posts on GSE really takes the cake...on one side we have several

legitimate scientific studies showing the complete lack of

effectiveness of non-adulterated GSE, from several unrelated sources.

On the other side we have a manufacturer making the completely

unsubstantiated and IMHO highly biased claim that their product is

effective and unadulterated, but not offering any proof, such as

copies of their own tests & trials.

Add to this a pile of ambiguous utter nonsense on the 'danger' of

paraben preservatives which again is completely unsubstantiated, and

the choice appears obvious...

But apparently, the desire to produce a possibly dangerous product

with the dubious label of " natural " (like the emulsifying wax

probably

being used is so much more natural...) is stronger than some people's

desire to produce a product that is safe to use.

But hey, if we all completely willfully misunderstand the difference

between safety testing and challenge testing and slap an inapplicable

label on the product, we'll all be safe, right? Let's not worry

about

all the other aspects of Good Manufacturing Procedures while we're

at it...or the fact that our liability insurance won't cover acts of

willful negligence - houses are over-rated, aren't they...

(hint...the 'safety' of a product is only tangentially related to its

micro-organism population)

Sign me cheesed,

I actually was following this thread with some interest until the sarcasm

started...
