Inexpensive but must be used in a diluted form and then rinse the vegetables thoroughly - it's been used for years - but never full strength!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Bleach is cheap!. I've had a lot of plant bio and genetic engineering classes, and from those I've learned a lot about agriculture as an industry!. They will use the cheapest possible manner to do anything, regardless of health risks!. Plus, they continue to do so until there is public outrage (think Britain's reaction to genetically engineered tomatoes)!.!.!.which there hardly ever is!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
