So maybe the huge worry people had after the news that WHO would classify it as cancerous was a little too much. I think the media could have reported on it in a bit more responsible way.

    It’s still banned in the US, so brands that want to use it would have to have US specific formulas or not desire to sell there.

    That’s a lot of brands, for sure, but depending on where you are, they might not be the brands you see.

        From what I read, in the 60s there was this idea that intestinal flaura would break it down into sulpher compounds that could cause cancer. A bunch of countries banned it, but later research suggested that it’s not that big a deal, so a lot of countries unbanned it.

        The US was not one of them.
