Many times, the do those animal tests using HUGE amounts of a given substance. 
They give about 1 gram a day to mice. Given that a mice weight at 20 to 30 
grams, For a 200 pounds man, it's akind of taking 10 pounds of the stuff per 
day, for several years... Then, they detect a 1 to 5% increase in cancers in the 
mice. They thus brand it as carcinogen and bann it.

The product is intended to be used as food coloring, and, in the worst case, 
nobody could take more than 0.1 gram a day, and probably not every day.
How about eating 10 pounds of the yellow-5 food colourant in a day?

Or, the product is NOT to be taken internaly at all, but they still feed mice 
with it. How about eating 10 pounds of hand soap or body lotion in a day?

Alain, you are awesome. I think I've mentioned the delightful sound of your
handle. It is a pleasure to hear from you. Your remarks show you are one of the
intelligent ones.

But I will not take crap off of Kyle or anyone, sorry you all had to see that,
unless you enjoy someone getting their just deserts. And I am not talking about
me. What must be done in a case like this is often offensive to me, but I have a
stronger penchant to tell the truth about what I see in such disrespectful
people as Kyle.

Again, all apologies for reality (a reality I cannot apologize for) and all my
appreciation to the mentally gifted, gifted enough to see the horrifying
reality of the creepy, greedy, dominating, heartless, profiteering FDA DEA etc.
A truth some fools on this board want to silence.

Wish I could say more, there is so much I would say, Dear Alain

Thanks for the reply. I was gone for a day, so I missed it. Yeah, 
there's a bunch of things you can use proximity functions for besides 
texturing. More possibilities than I know...

Sure, I can pay that person with virtual dollars ;)
