So ano dapat bilhin = Basahin if fermented from cane sugar or coconut. Two of the most common in the philippines.

i wish they had emphasized on what's in the item, that makes it un-healthy.

Isn't it the synthetic acetic acid part Doc?

Because it's artificially made and inorganic, perhaps?

patay ka datu puti

yari ka silver swan

Kaya nga dati ko pa sinasabi wala ako tiwala sa Department of Health ng pinas dahil MUKHANG KWARTA. Wala sa isip kung ano ikakabuti.

Masyado na napagiwanan ang DOH. Eh sa asin na lang ang hirap bumili ng natural rock salt. Over iodized na pinoy kaya nagkandaleche-leche hormones. Look gaano kahaba pila sa mga endocrinologist. So iodization of salt hindi nakakatulong yan. Bring it back sa pure goodness of salt

CH3COOH is CH3COOH, however it was made.

if the final product comes with admixtures of other, potentially harmful, chemicals, the researchers should have said so, and identified these. after all, they had the high-tech machinery...
instead, the guy just mentions it somewhat, in one brief statement.
the entire report comes on, to me, as a smear campaign.

i find the usfda item in the other thread, more useful.
in it, the agency simply said that "vinegar" is vinegar, because it was made in such and such manner, and that diluted acetic acid is not vinegar, because it was not made in such and such manner.

talaga! sinabi nilang hindi natural vinegar ang datu puti and silver swan?

kags, sa palengke, maraming natural salt na hindi artificially iodized.

They didn't mention any brand at all, though the should have mentioned the offending brands, imo. Now everyone is suspect.

Incomplete and inaccurate reporting from a media organization, what's new, right?

Anything to sensationalize the topic so they get more viewers, more clicks, more advertising revenue.

I see your point though Doc, it would help if they specified what chemicals they found harmful.

I thought that because it was artificially made using synthetics, which are often harmful in themselves AFAIK.

yespo.
we need science writers who know how to separate the chaff from the grain.

Agree that guy should have explained it clearer, parang ang pagkakaintindi ko dahil sa Synthetic and from its manufacturing there will be some impurities left and that impurities ang makakapag cause ng cancer and not the synthetic acetic acid itself....Kase it is approved naman for human consumption ang mga food grade synthetic materials..i.e. mga vitamins supplements look at their label mostly synthetic derived.....

So synthetic products ba tlaga masama or was it the impurities that comes with it? Sa end of the report parang sabi me synthetic materials daw....ano ba tlaga?
