Not all vinegars are created the same. As a matter of fact, some are made from unnatural ingredients like petroleum products, which can be very harmful to your health. So the next time you decide to purchase a bottle of vinegar, you may want to consider the hidden dangers of this age-old product. Do you know what's in yours?
Most are made from natural sources like corn and apples that is made into alcohol and then fermented. Yet some manufacturers are willing to use dangerous synthetic sources like petroleum gas and fossil fuel products because it's cheaper.
The bad news is those manufacturers don't have to tell you where their source comes from which means you could be putting yourself and your family in danger. There's even more bad news. Manufacturers have been using synthetic alcohols since as early as the late 1940's.
Of course the use of a synthetic alcohol was later brought up for concern of its use in foods, however to this day there are still no laws that prohibit it from being used. Whether the reason is because it's difficult to distinguish if it's a natural or synthetic alcohol that is being used or if there's another matter, is still a mystery to this day.
There is however some limitations as to how alcohols derived from petroleum gas and fossil fuels can be used. For example, labels containing the words grain or neutral grain spirits are considered misleading and cannot be used. Still, one often wonders if a manufacturer is telling the truth or not.
For the most part, trust is an obvious issue. If you're a fan of the brand you purchase, you may find that trust isn't an issue, especially if that brand has a really positive history. However, if you're uncertain as to whether the brand you buy is trustworthy, you may want to skip using the product all together.
In my opinion, most vinegar products that are packaged are not trustworthy. Many contain some sort of unnatural chemical hidden or not. I for one would not want to consume a product that could possibly contain hidden dangers like petroleum gas or fossil fuels nor would I want my family to. They're chemicals and a body can't handle that.
Whether or not you choose to do the same is your own decision. But before you do, please get the facts. You just may find that they're hard to swallow.
