  • I’m examining the
    ingredients stated on the back of a 3 oz. Pepper Mill Classic Italian Dressing foil-guarded
    packlet sitting on my desk at work.  Hrmm…’calcium
    disodium EDTA to protect flavor’.  I
    remember using EDTA to liquefy crushed mollusk shells in the laboratory for the
    purpose of extracting their organic matrix.  I remember having to wear goggles to protect
    my eyes from it.   I also think you’ll find EDTA in many hair
    products, too.  I wonder if that’s to
    protect the flavor of one’s hair? (Does red hair taste like strawberries, black
    hair like currants, brown hair like chocolate, blonde hair like extract of
    Britney?)…oh, and up above the EDTA listing it states ‘artificial flavor’.  So an unnatural chemical is being employed to
    preserve the flavor of an artificial one! 
    (That so works for the ‘extract
    of Britney’.)

    Hey, looking a
    little deeper on the internet    , maybe EDTA is a godsend after all.  Seems it’s being touted as the "Liquid-Plumr®"
    of the cardiovascular system.  It’s even
    an anti-venom!     (Again, that so works for the ‘extract
    of Britney’.)
