Re: Fermentation, pesticides & other 'cides'...Re: They told you they are raw? hmmm Re: it IS raw... but is Bragg's raw? Is it really?

the reason that I said that pesticides are broken down by the fermentation process, is that a good portion of the bioremediation industry is based on that concept. these companies are called in when Oil, pesticides, etc. contaminate an area. They introduce bacteria and/or fungus and/or some other type of living organism and allow the fermentation process to break down the pesticides into naturally inert compounds

the information you have there clearly shows that the fermentation process of wine does in fact degraded pesticides. Now imagine that instead of a year or two of fermentation, there is 10 years of fermentation as we have with these types of vinegar's. It's just not something I'm worried about

And as I keep saying, the beneficial aspects of this vinegar are about 50 times any other kind of vinegar I've ever had. I'm sure that trumps whatever teeny tiny little trace of pesticides might have survived the fermentation process

and of course we go back to Bragg's. They claim to be organic. Are they? This is a family that's willing to lie about virtually anything and everything. Who they are where they came from how old they are, their relationships to each other etc. etc. their entire lives are nothing but lies

And they also lie about having the mother in their vinegar. It's right there on the label and it's a big bold face lie. So maybe they are lying about being organic too? God only knows. it is a company you cannot trust
