It doesn't have to be sodium hypochlorite. Hydrogen peroxide is considered to be a bleach, too.

I don't understand the "Not made with natural rubber latex" statement.
I do prefer my hydrogen peroxide to be latex free be it natural or otherwise.

While the initial statement is reasonably accurate... That's not how this works. You don't get to pick.

Why not? Can't multiple theories be based on some truth and some fiction? I think it depends on the sample size and diversity within the sample.

The local supermarket sells a couple different brands of peanut butter.
From dodgy memory (it's been a long time since I checked) the ingredients were peanuts, salt, sugar!! ffs, emulsifier. For me this does not qualify as peanut butter.
The peanut butter I consume, in greater quantities than I probably should, is purchased from the local markets and contains.....peanuts. That's it.
So to paraphrase your statement "Peanut butter is not evil when contains just peanuts".

To take your point even further, I would have to agree with your statement because to the best of my knowledge no peanut butter of any sort has never committed atrocities, been convicted of treason or even muttered a curse*.
I therefore suggest Vote Peanut Butter! but preferably the unadulterated variety.

* Being smeared on a woman to be eaten (so to speak lol) is not the peanut butter's fault.

I'll admit 3 AM is probably not the best time of day for me to pontificate and my peanut butter comment had no context. My reference was to the hype in the late 90's to early 00's that peanuts cannot be given to toddlers/infants. I think the recommendation was something outrageous - like 4 years of age was safe. It created a whole generation of food allergies that were totally unnecessary due to some internet fodder that was based on no truth. My kids were deprived cupcakes on birthdays in school because Sally had a gluten issue and no cookies, M&Ms, or PB&J in school because god forbid Tommy inhaled peanut dust.


Fun fact: If you are allergic to latex... you are allergic to kiwi.

Good idea! If nothing else you won't be around long enough for your teeth to rot. Then there's the link TCoat found... and what a man named Donald once said.

P.S. Can I have your car?

I find it interesting that countries may find medications safe for consumption where other countries say they are not. Whose research is more complete to make the better decision? Why is a life more valuable in one country vs. another?

Fun fact: The link between sugar and cavities was not widely accepted until 1942.

I may wear a tinfoil hat but I do believe...

- Fluoride does contribute to depression, anxiety, and possibly autism
- Prozac was a major factor in emptying the asylums in the US
- Medication commercials are driving the cost of prescriptions through the roof in the US.
- Peanut butter is not evil


Comparisons can also be made to say that purple car owners have a higher rate of depression than those who don't own purple cars. From this you cannot deduce that owning a purple car will make you depressed or that depressed people buy purple cars. There is, however, a correlation between the color car you drive and your credit worthiness (so says the credit agencies).

Got me out -

Lawyers closed the the asylums. I mean, what right does anyone have to lock up people who are a danger to themselves or others?
