Diethelyne Glycol in e-juice DEBUNKED?!?!

Hhmm. Found this while snooping the web(from Wiki):

Historical cases of contamination with diethylene glycol
On May 4, 2007, the US Food and Drug Administration advised all US makers of medicines to test all batches of glycerine for the toxic diethylene glycol.[17] This follows an occurrence of 100 fatal poisonings in Panama resulting from a Chinese factory deliberately falsifying records in order to export the cheaper diethylene glycol as the more expensive glycerol.[18] Glycerine and diethylene glycol are similar in appearance, smell, and taste. The US Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act was passed following the 1937 "Elixir Sulfanilamide" incident of poisoning caused by diethylene glycol contamination of medicine.

Could be a usefull tool in debating the anti e-cig sentimate of the FDA. It seems that the chinese made glycerin was the problem, not the juice it's self. Facinating. The truth is, the FDA KNEW it was the glycerin contamination all along, and chose not to mention that while damning e-cigs. I believe their swollen pockets have been found out. Is there any way we can get this info to go viral? I'm afraid I'm not savy enough to do it myself.​

I read that once also when I was rearching around the web for random ecig info. It could be that the source of the DG was in the vg, and I also read somewhere (sorry I cant remember so I cant add a link so dont quote me) that the us allows a certain ammount of DG in vg and maybe pg. The dg may have gotten in by different routes not neccisarily by those "evil juice makers"... If what I read had any truth to it, supposing I remember correctly, I wonder if the small amount found in certain juices actually was within legal limits if the substance was only vg hmm just a random thought but nothing would surprise me either way.
