We at EWG dispute the term "chemical free" as well. We do recommend that you choose mineral (zinc or titanium) products. As you all have noticed, they vary widely in terms of how they look and feel on the skin.

Danielle I received the message about flouride in dog food and checked mine and the top ingredients are animal/bone meal. I wanted to find out if there are any dog food suggestions that do not have animal/bone meal in them. Is there a list online that has been researched already?
Danielle at 3:59pm July 1
I forgot to note the brands we have been using: Science Diet Oral Care, Science Diet Nature's, Flint River. They all have animal meal as the main ingredient. I looked online at another brand: Nutro and their top ingredient was an animal meal also. I found a couple of vegetarian brands that of course do not have animal meal as an ingredient. Should I use this instead and top with a little fresh meat for their protein?

Thank you for contacting The Coca-Cola Company, Mr. Schincariol. We appreciate the opportunity to respond.
BPA has been studied extensively and determined to be safe by regulatory authorities worldwide. The safety of this ingredient is supported by comprehensive laboratory research, including studies conducted over multiple generations that are specifically designed to detect adverse health effects, even at very low doses Health authorities around the world have confirmed that canned foods and beverages are safe.
BPA is a chemical used worldwide in thousands of packages in the marketplace, including the coating inside virtually all metal food and beverage cans. This coating guards against contamination and extends the shelf life of foods and beverages. It also is used to manufacture shatter-resistant bottles, medical devices, sports safety equipment and compact disc cove
