Propylene is considered food grade because it is far less toxic than the ethylene. Propylene is made for RV water drains to protect from freezing, ethylene is what you run in your car (unless you choose the more "green/safe" variety).

You drink that crap? I gave up high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) years 
ago. Just a few days ago I saw an article from an FDA researcher 
(perhaps an ex-researcher; the corporations aren't going to like what 
he/she had to say) saying that HFCS often carries a little mercury with 
it because of how some companies make the lye that is in turn used to 
strip the starch from the corn kernel in the making of HFCS. If I hadn't 
quit already, that would kick me over the edge.

I'm with this smart lady:

Literally. She's my wife. :-). We've spent more that two years off 
processed foods like sodas. I could really feel the improvement after a 
couple of weeks off the "chemical stew" that is in most of the processed 
food at the local grocery. If you make your own bread, you don't put 
preservatives, artificial colors, artificial flavorings, etc. in it. I'm 
just sayin'.

Now if only I could kick the last highly processed food on my list -- 
chocolate. That promises to be a battle royal.

And if only I could find a B&W inkset I like that would give me a Dmax 
over 2.0 on matte papers and match the longevity of the Cone K7s. Or is 
this yet another joust with yet another windmill?
