Fino. Så må det eksperiment vente til en anden gang.

Ja, så er det vist heller ikke værre. Der står "Large doses ". Jeg er selv kemiker og har lavet syntesekemi i mange år. Og natriumacetat er ikke sønderligt giftigt. I mavesækken bliver det til NaCl og eddikesyre pga "reaktion" med mavesyre som er saltsyre, og NaCl og eddikesyre har vi ingen problemer med at indtage i andre fødevarer - vel ? Giftigheden vil består i at man får for meget Na+ ioner som kan forstyrre visse fysiologiske processer.  Nej, så lav du roligt forsøg med det.

Mange af disse sikkersblade er standardformularer. Jeg har set mange hvor man må trække på smilebåndet en gang imellem. Ved NaCl står der stort set det samme.
