[edit] Poison
ethoxyquin is a deadly poison in many dog and cat foods. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.179.194.19 (talk • contribs) 05:03, 7 November 2006
[edit] Ethoxyquin is harmless?
This article links to an FDA statement from 1989 to show that it is not harmful. It is also used as a pesticide [1]. I just happened across this article and I don't know much about it. However, I find it worrisome that a lot of people rely on Wikipedia for information, and this chemical is potentially harmful. ~ JohnnyMrNinja 04:03, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

- The article does not state that ethoxyquin is harmless, just that the FDA reported that they did not find any connection between ethoxyquin in petfood and health problems in pets. Those are two very different things. --Ed (Edgar181) 13:50, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
- Wow, sorry, I was seriously half-awake, and stumbled across this page. I didn't mean to say that it was actually propaganda, just that it looked that way in my sleepy head. The article mentions nothing about ethoxyquin's use as a pesticide, and references an FDA report from 1989 that say there is no problem with ethoxyquin, when that same organization has released numerous reports in the 18 year interim that state otherwise. As this article was not written in 1989, it looked suspicious. But again, I didn't mean to imply that it was propaganda, just that it looked that way at first. ~ JohnnyMrNinja 14:44, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
