DID YOU KNOW....

that balsamic vinegar has lead in it? And if you read the label, some of them say something like "Prop 65 - this product may contain lead, a chemical known to the State of California, to cause birth defects and other reproductive harm". WTF?

I was at Whole Foods looking for a new bottle of balsamic vinegar and saw this on several of the labels. Apparently, all of them contain lead. I got a little scared so I just ended up not buying any. =/

eh, no i didn't know. scary! how come that isn't on one of the 'do not eat list' that the doctor gives you. You should probably stay away from eating any vinegarette salads while you are prego, huh. jeez.

i know, right? i mean, yeah, you'd have to consume a ton of vinegar to make it harmful, i guess... but still, seeing that label on the bottle was a little alarming.
