Re: New Verification Protocol-MMS authenticity by Jim Humble

Hello R4000,

This is good to know, but one other variable needs to be considered.

I have observed that my bottles are not all filled to the same level. I believe there should be a little headroom to allow for expansion during shipping, but there appears to be some variation in that headroom. When my bottles were shipped, there was no leakage. Full bottles may have had some leakage during shipping.

My bottles, from GlobalLight, range from 177 - 183 g, with an average of 179.9 g and a standard deviation of 1.55 g.

In each case, lower weights corresponded to less liquid in the bottle.

I took five of my lowest weight bottles (177 g, 178 g, 178 g, 178 g, and 179 g) and measured 100 ml from each one. In each case, the 100 ml weighed 122 g.

In light of the variations in bottling, and the need for some headroom in the bottle for shipping, I would be happy if a bottle weighed 180 g with a plus or minus of 2 g.

Better yet, the alternative method of weighing 100 ml is more precise.

Of course, keep in mind that this observation is based on a limited sample. I only checked 20 bottles, and I am sure they only represent one batch.
