   There are two types of citric acid: natural and manufactured

   They do not differentiate between the two types on your food ingredient labels

   One type harms you and the other does not

   The manufactured citric acid became approved before the FDA required stringent testing of ingredients

     We would also need to shut down the food additive industry and the much of the food mass distribution industry, in order to force us to only obtain fresh and local food

     @curtis we can have universal health by shutting down the USDA & FDA...

     "Secondly, if only a small fraction of what is already known about the effects of sugar were to be revealed in relation to any other material used as a food additive, that material would promptly be banned." -John Yudkin, Pure, White, and Deadly

     For example, the bottle of `Pure Leaf No Sugar Real Brewed Tea` sitting on my desk has 2 ingredients: brewed tea and citric acid
     
     It is now considered shit

     The article indicates that `Pfizer` started this trend

     The fact that Currie joined Pfizer during World War I was no coincidence. Pfizer officials, led by John Anderson, realized that the company had to reduce its vulnerability as an importer of raw materials. The war cut off the supply of Italian citrus, and all raw material deliveries from Europe were threatened by the German submarine blockade. Supplying medicines and chemicals for the war helped the company survive, but overall sales declined. Now, more than ever, Pfizer needed to find ways to produce citric acid without using citrus.

     @curtis
     When you say "one type is bad for you, the other isn't", are you referring to contaminations from the manufacturing process? Because, chemically, citric acid is citric acid, regardless of where specifically it comes from. :gura_what:

     Yes, contaminations, which are the remnants of the mold used in the production process

     At the moment, I'm still a firm believer that penicillin saved many, many lives. The chain of events from fungal citric acid to large-scale penicillin manufacturing is very interesting.

     Volumes of use might be a factor in the helpful vs. harmful spectrum
     
     Penicillin is highly purified and it only takes a small amount to be effective, so its benefit to humanity far outweighs its harm

     Upon re-reading this post, it could have been written with a less alarmist tone, but I do believe it is worth examining further, because there is scant research data available on this particular food additive in the supply chain, and there is anecdotal evidence of potential allergic reaction harm to at least a portion of the consumer market

     They follow the three generation rule. The first founders were entrepreneurs, by the third generation it will all be shit, relying on monopoly, acquisition, and government protection.
