Hi Leo, Vit A, D, CoQ10, E and others are fatty acid based and need to be delivered to the body via fat. ======================== Good Health & Long Life, Greg , gowatson@...

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2001 Report Share Posted December 15, 2001 Glycol = glycerine combined with alcohols to form these syrupy humectants. They can be veg, animal , natural or synthetic. Propylene glycol is considered safe by the FDA (cough, cough) and is widely used to formulate cough syrups and other drugs., but it's still a petrochemical (gag, gag). Would it be used for better pouring or what? CB. Re: Propylene Glycol and BHT in our fortifi > Harmless in the context and purpose of this list.
