Organic Watergate: Synthetics Found in Organic Foodsfrom mercola.com: Research by the Cornucopia Institute reveals disturbing evidence showing that large corporate interests have infiltrated the process, and that the rules put in place to maintain organic integrity are severely compromised...

Just how did that get approved for use in organic foods?
