A good friend of mine is involved with trying to get methanol removed from our food chain- as its contained in a certain type of sweetener mostly found in diet drinks and tea/coffee sweetener. It is common knowledge that this sweetener contains 10% methanol, which is highly poisonous. Excessive consumption can have quite dramatic effects on people who take it and when I found out about it all, it really opened my eyes, although I cannot stand the taste of it. A few supermarkets have banned the use of it in their own brand products but it still remains approved for use, although there a few things happening about it at the moment. It all makes interesting reading and some cloak and dagger politics behind it all too. Just wondered if anyone has had any experiences or effects from using this product?
