Grapefruit Seed Extract - Adulterated With Synthetics

I don't work with Grapefruit Seed Extract. Mainly because I have several other remedies that will work fine in it's place that are just as effective. It turns out that this may have been better in the long term. Apparently most Grapefruit Seed Extracts are actually synthetically adulterated with additives to give it the antimicrobial benefits. It also seems that this has been going on for years. I wish I had a nickel for everytime that I told someone to verify the ingredients or quality control of the product they are working with. The truth is that there are thousands and thousands of supposedly "natural" products on the market that are hailed for the healing benefits. However, there are actually on a small amount of companies in the entire U.S. that can verify the quality of what they are working with thru quality assurance testing. If you are using or have used Grapefruit seed extract lately then please educate yourself of the truth behind the scenes in this article detailing the rampant fraud in the natural health industry. http://cms.herbalgram.org/herbalgram/issue94/QUALCONTROL_gfse.html
