FDA tests found antifreeze chemical; agency unsure if items are counterfeit.

Five-ounce tubes of toothpaste labeled Colgate and sold in discount stores in four states are being recalled because they may contain a poisonous chemical, according to the importer. A Food and Drug Administration official, Doug Arbesfeld, confirmed that testing had found the chemical in a product with the Colgate label. But he said the agency is unsure if it is really Colgate or a counterfeit.

My grandfather spent 40 years working at the plant in Jersey City.

Now, that plant is now covered with the tallest building in NJ (the Goldman Sachs building), although the clock he worked on is still there.

Is Goldman Sachs affiliated with MS Trading?

GR was evidently the first. Kingston, NY (near Fishkill, but a different town) floridated the water in 1947. They were the first to to do so in NY State.

I’ve posted my toothpowder recipe on other threads. If anyone wants me to post it, freepmail me.

It tastes good, is very cheap, and polishes teeth nicely.

Half finished tube of Pepsodent, and a tube of Crest still in the box. Whew!

Okay, if it is true that the Colgate toothpaste is counterfeit, then I call terrorism.

Nasty Chinese junk ping. Junk. Jeez, no pun intended :/

You sir, and a bit out there.

HFCS, is the made of the same stuff as regular sugar. It is a mix of sucrose, fructose, and a bunch of other sugars. Corn syrup has a lot more fructose than sucrose, and tastes a bit different.

I have seen both being made, and neither is very “natural”.

Deb. granted I’m half into a buzz what with happy hour and all but you hit a homer in you specific sound bite (personal comment) “ China is flooding the market w/
fake products and most are poisoned ( that last part is not proven, ((by specifics)),,most).............. BUT

What a wedge against true communism in China.

We actually can make buyers so aware of consequences
visa vi products from wherever (think WalMart)
and wherever(think next).

China as an enemy or ally depends on markrts and we (USA) have the upper hand.

Hey....I came from East Fishkill! Got nearly all my hair (though some of it has seemed to migrate to other areas) and teeth.

Before I read who was sending, my first thought was,
"I hope they're not a lady."
When I saw it was you Jack I laughed by butt off.
