The FDA's credibility has been questioned for some time. The metallic element discussion point has been around for years. Vit E OTOH, yeah, not good for you.I haven't heard back from the FDA criminal investigation division, and metalic elements is certainly one of the things they looked at before picking Vit E acetate.
I do note that we stopped using Vit E acetate, but not metallic heating elements, and the problem seems to have gone away.
