They deleted my article, which basically said that they tested 51 e-juices and 39 had diacetyl in them which is very harmful to your lungs. Do you guys know if US suppliers are using this for flavoring of their fruity juices?

No just mostly acetoin, acetic acid and butyric acid which are all FDA approved for food and beverage consumption.

I have a background in chemistry and molecular biology and everything is about amounts. Those who developed "Popcorn lung" (what an idiotic name for a disease) were microwave popcorn factory workers who inhaled massive doses of powdered diacetyl. Cigarettes contain this chemical as well and I've never heard of anyone getting popcorn lung from smoking. It does not appear that the quantity of this chemical in juice is sufficient to cause adverse health effects.

If you knew the high dosage health effects of the chemicals you are inhaling everytime you clean your bathroom or spray for bugs, you'd likely never do either without a hazmat suit ever again.

Your post was deleted because you violated copyright laws by quoting the entire thing.
