dznuts is kinda gross (testicular atrophy)
E-mail sent to DZ Laboratories, LLC customer service about dznuts. They
never replied, so I'm posting this here for everyone to do their own research on the product and reach their own conclusions. Looking up their ingredients via Google, the words "testicular atrophy" (Phenoxyethanol) got my attention. ---------------------------------- I recently researched your product before deciding not to purchase, and I have some concerns regarding claims made on your web site and some of the ingredients used in your product that are potentially harmful. I'm interested in a response that clarifies and explains these issues. Here is the list of issues I came across that I would like to bring to your attention: DZ Laboratories, LLC (referred to as COMPANY) makes claims regarding their product "dznuts" (referred to as PRODUCT) on the web site "http://www.dz-nuts.com/" that are either false or substantially misleading. In addition, some of the ingredients in PRODUCT have been identified as potentially harmful or posing health concerns. I. Claim: ingredient "Paraffin" listed by COMPANY as one of the "INGREDIENTS WE WILL NEVER USE" in PRODUCT COMPANY lists paraffin as one of the "INGREDIENTS WE WILL NEVER USE" yet PRODUCT contains a large amount of petroleum-derived paraffin. The 3rd ingredient in PRODUCT is Ozokerite, which is a petroleum-derived paraffin. Ozokerite or ozocerite (Gr. oze, stench, and kero, wax), is a naturally-occurring petroleum derived odoriferous mineral wax or paraffin. Ozokerite is a petroleum derivative like petrolatum and mineral oil (paraffinic oil). II. Claim: ingredients used in PRODUCT are "PLANT-DERIVED NATURAL INGREDIENTS" The claim that the ingredients used in PRODUCT are "PLANT-DERIVED NATURAL INGREDIENTS" is false and misleading. Not all of the ingredients listed by COMPANY as being used in PRODUCT are plant derived. III. Claim regarding use of "Fair Trade Ingredients whenever possible" Claim by COMPANY regarding the use of "Fair Trade Ingredients whenever possible" in PRODUCT is vague, unsubstantiated, misleading, and potentially false. COMPANY is encouraged to provide proof of any fair-trade certification for the ingredients used in PRODUCT, and a percentage of fair-trade ingredients by total volume or weight. IV. Claims regarding "organic", "natural" ingredients, and "Only the Finest Ingredients for Your Goods" used in PRODUCT The claims of "organic sources whenever possible", "natural as possible", and "Only the Finest Ingredients for Your Goods" are vague, unsubstantiated, misleading, and potentially false. COMPANY is encouraged to elaborate on or substantiate these claims. V. Potentially harmful ingredients posing health concerns There are health concerns regarding the following potentially harmful ingredients used by COMPANY in PRODUCT: 1. Phenoxyethanol - a preservative, also classified as an irritant, it can depress the central nervous system and may cause vomiting and diarrhea. Recognized as a neurotoxin, animal studies show sense organ effects at very low doses. The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) data sheets show chromosomal changes and genetic mutation effects in testing as well as testicular atrophy and interference with reproductivity in mice. 2. Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate - used for lightening skin, it reduces the skin's ability to produce melanin. Melanin protects skin against against sunburn. 3. Ethylhexylglycerin - known skin irritant, can possibly damage and irritate eyes, and is known to cause dermatitis |

It led me to http://www.fatcyclist.com/2008/08/05...briskies-nuts/ which was a funny read. 2. Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate - used for lightening skin, it reduces the skin's ability to produce melanin. Melanin protects skin against against sunburn. Dude, you're afraid of sunburn on _that_ area? |
