Guest guest Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 Sherry, I joined this group because I want to hear what a chemist has to say about preservatives and I greatly appreciate the time and effort that is put into every answer! That is the purpose of this list; I can get different points of view from other lists, which is their purpose. If you want different points of view, you can join one of the many other lists available. Molly Maurice, thank you for all of the helpful information and the time you take to back up your answers. I truly appreciate all that you do!

My brother-in-law and sister-in-law are both chemists, and they are experts in their field of chemistry, as are the chemists on this board. I really don't want to challenge these people with criticism and confrontation as they do what they do not as a hobby, but as a profession, and actually do have more access to reliable information than any of the rest of us do. In my thinking, you do what you believe to be best with your products and we will do what we discern to be best with the information available to us with our products, but I would suggest that you have good insurance. And remember, the experts which we have free access to, and who promptly answer our questions with the research to back it up do this for FREE. It might be interesting to find out how much a lot of this information would cost us to obtain without this list. The purpose of THIS list as I understand it is to be able to ask questions and get EDUCATED answers, if someone wants to debate what they THINK is best, they should go to a list that offers such.
