Just recently, however, the “Calorie Control Council” petitioned the Environmental Protection Agency to reconsider their designation. The article below doesn’t go into detail to say WHY this synthetic is no longer considered to be a threat to our world, only that they’ve now deemed it safe to loose it into the environment. <\/span>
